anyone who truly believes the NFL is fixed need to stop betting and get a reality check. Noone is going to argue, or can argue that refs here and there might be betting on games or making bad calls because they were bought off or something. However, to say the league is all out rigged is absurd, preposterous, it's just downright idiotic. Some of these people on this site that whine about the league being rigged have had some bad beats, lost money, probably more than they can afford and need something to help them sleep at night and convince themselves that they didn't make the wrong pick, they just got screwed because it was a fix. Give me a friggin break
You didn't really need to start another thread about this topic...The whole point behind my original thread regarding this issue was to simply highlight the relationship between a funny line and who the books need on that particular Sunday...
Obviously I believe it is because certain games are rigged...I have said time and time again that not all games are rigged and you can tell by watching them...
There are people who indeed do complain about games that are rigged after the fact, which is why I started a thread pointing out which games I believe that may not be on the up and up, stating my reasons why and picking games BEFORE and not AFTER....to avoid being accused of "loosing money"......
Not too many people have done that...
If you do not think the NFL has an agenda, you should stop betting. I have been doing this for 12+ years and know full well there are certain teams, players, situations etc. that are given partial calls...
The only thing I will point to is the Atlanta Falcons when Michael Vick sold out the Falcons for the first time in its history, was number one in ticket sales, jersey sales, bobble head sales, foamy finger sales, sold out every road game, was the rage of every kid in the country who watched football..
Get some game tapes and you tell me whether or not the Falcons O line was allowed to tackle guys when Vick started his shucking and jiving.
There are situations that change week to week, month to month or year by year..is it just coincidence that Vegas is hardly EVER on the losing end of a bad call? Some great plays, sure..bad calls? Hardly ever.

it's not fixed but it for entertainment
the spread makes gambling exciting to bet, the players make the game fun to watch.
the winner is the one who enjoys the entertainment. the loser is blindly believe on something that you don't know.
we all try to help each other to win somw $$$$ at this forum and have fun watching the game, not get into each others nerd.
peace!!!

Uhhhhhhh, my comment wasn't directed at you, lol, I was siding with you. You just failed to put the pieces together -- look at the location of poster #2, the main culprit behind the idiotic bullshit posts you started this thread to counter. Besides, I'm half Canadian and wish I were an American ex-pat about every other day.
you are the one that's wrong. yeah, so even if they dont rake it in from one particular game they will win big bucks from other games. bottom line is, they win in the long run, the odds are in their favor, that's why they make money. they dont need to rely on a certain team to 'come through' for them. wake up people. they aren't hurting. unless you are talking about second rate operations that dont know how to run a business.
