Vegas was behind the All-Star game

**Masu485** · 02-16-09, 04:03 AM

i think most allstar games are rigged to some extent. just look at the NHL allstar game that just went down. interest in NHL declines, so they cook up a spectacular show, 11-11 (equivalent of an NFL game going 70-70 at end of 4th) goes to OT and then shootout, exactly what a crowd wants.

dont know if it's vegas or just the sports board themselves that rig it, but they are definitely not unscripted.

I recall 25% of Americans had a survey and were asked where Korea is located on the map and they said it's on the East coast of United States.

Maybe it's not a rumor after all and Americans are really dumb.

YES, 265 points in total, what's so hard to understand? If you believe Vegas are prophets then fine, I believe in logic, and logic says a game shouldn't end just like that on the line that Vegas has offered, they are not prophets, they fixed the game, just like many other games.

I think betting on US sports is a suicide, at least in Europe when players play and the game is tight they don't let the clock run out, instead they actually play around with Free-Throws, not thinking what Vegas would say about the Over/Under line. They just try to win the game, just as it is.

Only in Vegas world Lakers can lose to Clippers and next day beat Orlando.

You can't give credit to professional odds makers working in a billion dollar business to set a good line? FFS

Also please respond to my earlier post plz.

Oh yeah, how the total for the NBA game was rigged

You're right I didn't say it. Where did I support that the total was fixed?

I made comments throughout the thread. Some sarcasm, of course.

Relax.

The O/U for this game started at 263 IIRC, and went up to 264. That means people were pounding the OVER.

If the game was rigged, wouldn't it be rigged to be UNDER 264?

Also, Vegas moves lines so they can get equal (or close to equal) action on both sides. IN THEORY, 50% of people win, and 50% lose, so who's being screwed here?

This wasn't a case like last year's Superbowl when the public pounded the Giants and ended up fcking Vegas. The O/U in the NBA All-Star games doesn't get a lot of action so why would they try to rig this game?

If I'm wrong about this then tell me why, but seeing how you think the NBA all-star totals are rigged, I expect this post to go wayyyy over your head.

The line was 263, went up to 264, then finally stopped at 264.5 (or 265), while the live-betting and the 2nd half and whatever betting was available was over 266, so they had to fix it and make it 265 point game, to get money from all the "losers" who bet over 266.

**tullamore** · 02-16-09, 04:09 AM

Who the **** thinks Korea is in New England? I like to met the people who conducted this pole. My guess is they made this sh!t up about Korea being an Eastern State to further their agenda.

Give them credit?

I think they had enough credit from naive people who placed bets on their Over/Under line and falled into their trap.

Isn't that the point they got people to fall into their trap. If a trap is laid, you have to give credit if people fall for it.

Where in Vegas is there live betting?

**Vincepcion** · 02-16-09, 04:14 AM

I give up. You win.

You can bet on 2nd half total, and sometimes every quarter in Harrahs, Ballys and others.

**MonkeyF0cker** · 02-16-09, 04:26 AM

Aside from the fact that you didn't answer the question, there were no quarter lines on the all-star game here at any casino. So now what you're saying, is that the all-star game was rigged by Vegas to get all the money from the millions (that's sarcasm) of people who bet on the 2nd half over, huh? Can you tell me what the second half total was at Bellagio? Obviously, you had to do your research to come to this ingenius conclusion...

I'm not living in Vegas and don't feel the need to justify them.

Well, then maybe I'm wrong about it

Apologies hahaha.

**reno cool** · 02-16-09, 06:47 AM

All-Star games may be rigged in the sense that the league promotes high scoring, close games to show off talent.
But to think that Vegas casinos can control to the point a result of a 264 point total is silly.

Apart from the numerous flaws in your arguments you would never say this if you actually experienced vegas books. They're just too full of incompetent simpletons to pull off anything like that.

**BCaldwell32** · 02-16-09, 07:25 AM

I have to say that this is the stupidest thread and biggest bunch of morons I have ever seen in my life!!!!! Point spreads and totals are right on constantly in sporting events and the reason that usually happens is because the oddsmakers are great at what they do. Knowing this fact, you idiots decide to pick a meaningless NBA all star game to say it's fixed and that these elite players who make more money than Bill Gates are fixing the game!!!!!! I am really starting to believe that this country is doomed having you morons as residence!!!!!

**Bread** · 02-16-09, 07:40 AM

I studied the facts and numbers for days, and came out with the West as an easy winner here. I was right. I'm a sharp.

It's true.
