Just heard it on Pittsbugrh Sports Talk. No idea if its true or not.
Actually they were making sure the whole game. Pitt penalties 13 SD penalties 2. Really they only had 1 penalty because the 2nd was the one that took the TD off.so SD betters won 32 mill and Pitt betters loss 32 mil plus the vig??
Apparently the fix and conspiracy was a west coast operation, who else could have that much muscle and ability to pull off that scam.I wonder how they made it so that the last play of the game would determine that SD money would prevail ??:think2:

WebWire reports:
An estimated $100 million was wagered worldwide on the Pittsburgh/San Diego game, according to RJ Bell of Pregame.com. Approximately 66% of that money was on the Steelers; with only 34% on the Chargers.
”If the touchdown was properly upheld, Steelers bettors would have won about $32 millions instead of losing big. This admittedly incorrect call resulted in a $64 million swing in favor of the bookies.” said Bell.
