What you're suggesting is that Steph Curry had a bad shooting night because Vegas wanted him to, and that he'll bounce back in Game 3 because it helps gamblers.
If Vegas was only out there to control money, then how do you have a winning record? Why isn't everyone broke? Of all the money that moves through gambling books per day, how much is actual profit? Not as much as you'd think. They make money off the top, they don't need to rig anything because morons like you will give it to them.
Please explain to me exactly how Vegas fixes games. Please, lay it out step by step so we can all see how logical it is. Tell me how they're going to control how LeBron plays in game 3 and how many 3's Steph hits.
Step by step, you tell me exactly how they control the outcome of a game. I dare you, any of you losers, put down in detail step by step HOW Vegas controls a games outcome.
None of you will, because you all know how ridiculous it would actually sound.
Who cares how it's done. The point is, it's rigged. Curry OBVIOUSLY bricked those shots on purpose...anyone with even 2 brain cells left could see that. Golden state would crush cleveland by 30+ pts in every game and it would be a sweep of the series if it were not rigged. These 2 teams are not even in the same league (Well technically they are, golden state just happens to be light years better lol)
So, consider that it's SPORTS ENTERTAINMENT, that means they can legally rig each game. If they let these teams play fair, it wouldn't even be entertaining AND vegas would lose way too much money because everyone would pound warriors in every game, and the public would win every game.
That's a no brainer. As for how it's all done, who knows. It's just soooo obvious when the players miss their shots on purpose. Curry is way too good, so it's really obvious when he does it. You can see him just throwing them up non chalantly. You can even see it on his face. He totally gives it away. He is not a good actor. Great player, but bad actor.
I've said the same about peyton manning, when Manning tossed the ball on the ground acting like he fumbled it when clearly nobody even touched the ball. He tossed it on the ground so Raiders could get it and get a TD to make the backdoor cover by half a point. Because raiders were so bad they failed to make the TD on 1st and goal, so peyton had to fumble to give them another chance. It took them 8 tries, but they finally got it
It's more than obvious sports is rigged. Anyone who says it isn't is either a shill or an idiot.
That being said, even with it being rigged, anyone can still win the game on some occasions. Like game 1 in this finals was clearly rigged for Cleveland, yet they still lost. So if you really know your teams you can get an advantage over the books.
