and so it begins

I have thought that games were sometimes rigged for several years. Reason being there are plays in NFL games where plays are reviewed and clearly the wrong call stands. I told friends a while back and they all laughed and mocked me saying there was no way to fix a game. This was before legalized online gambling and the flood of gambling site commercials on TV and radio,

I did a quick google search and the amount of money gambled legally in Vegas on NFL games in one year was staggering, and this was only Vegas. I told my friends that even if games aren't fixed here and there, you'd have to have your head in the sand to think that with the $ being bet it could not happen.

Now with legalized online betting young kids are into gambling. Young kids turn into 20 something athletes and it is not going to be hard for them to get into trouble and be offered a way out for shaving a few points here and there, I'm not saying all games, but when big money is riding on a line the wrong way. I think it is just a matter of time, and not much time, before all sports are corrupted, if they are not already.

At least half the plays are scripted in advance as well as shared w the tv crews prior to games. Doesn’t seem like it would be hard at all for someone w the right access to tip the game. Easier to do than bad calls by refs that’s for sure
