    I don't know whatever ridiculous information you know, but I do know that he was selected (not elected) to be President... I told people that before he was "elected" in 2008, and even before that election, I told them he was a 100% certainty to be elected in 2008 and re-elected in 2012.

    I can also tell you it is a 100% certainty that Hillary Clinton will be elected this year, since she was also selected by the same people who selected the current President.


    And absolutely none of this has any relevance to the Cavs - Warriors series, or basketball games being rigged.  And none of it confirms or lends validity to any claims about basketball games being rigged.


    I strongly suggest you take some time to study logical arguments... because it is clear you have not done so...

    I was joking to make a point!  My argument was equally valid to your argument... yours was, "you have to be blind not to see it is rigged"... I said, "you have to be blind not to see it is not rigged."

    Both arguments are equally valid... meaning they have ZERO validity.


    And this post I am quoting (from page 1) is a perfect example of what I mean when I say it is clear you have not spent any time (or not enough) studying logical arguments.  The reasoning is borderline insane...

    On a side note:  I have correctly predicted the Presidential winner of every U.S. election for the past 36 years (including the upcoming election).  Republican or Democrat, doesn't matter... every one of those Presidents has the exact same employer(s), and it is not the American people.


    Again, this is off topic, because it has no relevance regarding your premise about how the NBA rigs games...

    Really? That's awesome, so what are the odds on Clinton this year?

    And do they have a special prop bet for "No elections?" And what does that pay? Athough its ironic because if there is no elections that means martial law, which means banks will be closed which means you wont be able to collect your winnings anyway. lol hope that doesn't happen

    A lot of experts predicted that would happen (No election) so Obama could stay in office indefinitely.

    Youre right, it is off topic but hey we're here to make money right? So I don't mind you discussing your profits on your election bets.

    And thank you for the free pick with Clinton. I didn't do my research this year so I had no idea who would win. I don't really care anymore they're all the same anyway.

    I just think its funny-

    Obama Biden

    Osama Bin Laden

    you KNOW that's not a coincidence!

    Question #3 What are Soul Traps?

    Answer- A soul trap is serious business. A soul trap is the reason why me and you are here right now. A soul trap is encountered at death...you may have seen or heard reports about people experiencing NDE's? Well the bright white light you see during that experience, it's a soul trap. So, avoid the light. It's a false light.

    Extra Notes-

    If you feel your soul getting sucked down into hell, then I don't know what to tell you in that case. That would be freaky. Try praying or saying something like "I Choose Life" and maybe you'll get out of the horrible situation

    You can research soul traps. They are reincarnation traps, our souls get recycled over and over again for eternity, or until we can somehow escape. Which I don't know if that's really possible. The NDEs sound so intense you're rendered powerless to make your own choices anyway

     

    But the idea is that we have universal free will so they have to "trick" us into agreeing to come back here to this hell. Yes we are in hell right now!

    You really are unintelligent. Seeing a team win the first two games with a large margin, then jumping on a message board, saying the series is already done. 

    You shouldn't be sports betting.

    Remember the 93' Eastern Conference Finals with Jordan's Bulls vs Knicks? 

    Cleveland wins this series.

    You  guys are obviously wasting your precious time convincing the mass of these conspiracies just let it go it won't do any good.This is a back and forth debate that won't be solved.these players make millions to sell you a lie or deceive you, not just to play sports. Of course you can't rig every aspect of basketball or every possession you don't have to only key plays. Remember there's no possible you can create a point spread as well as total on any sport and be right on.so anything with a point spread is rigged or manipulated plain and simple.to those who believe good job to those who don't I understand I didn't always see It but I do now.

    I just starting betting NBA this year. When games have already been decided( for instance a blowout 4 minutes into the 4th quarter) You start seeing weird stuff...Refs calling fouls at a rapid pace to make the game go over when it's a 30 point game. Coaches calling multiple timeouts in the final minutes of a blow out...Players thrpwing uo shots with very little effort.There always seems to be a certain line that is being munupulated in a game that has already been decided in the 4th..I've seen it over and over this year..So there definitely is an outside gambling plan that gets put in place to make a line go one way or the other

    Yup that is more of it. There's so many things that give it away...especially the players themselves....the ones who aren't good actors....

    some people are just blind

    this has turned into the weirdest conversation.. I'm still telling you that yeah, I'm sure that some players might have certain agendas, and perhaps an official might call a foul to shave a point or 2 (some just like the feeling of having power) but there's is no way that any one of you will ever convince me that there is a conspiracy to fix a game that is agreed upon by any group of people together. The NBA powers that be do not script a game or a series.. the players aren't all together at any point in time to intentionally throw a game, on either side... Why would they? They're all making serious bank.. I know all of you in this forum are serious gamblers and it's hard to see sports the normal way anymore.. But let me ask you, if none of you were gambling on this, or making predictions, and just wanted to watch the games for the pure joy of watching a game or series of games, there wouldn't be any of this talk about scripting.. I've won a lot and I've lost a lot on those last second backdoor covers myself, but i'm telling you right now, most of those players on that court don't even care about the lines of a game or the O/U.. They are there to play the game, pure and simple. And yeah, I've played organized ball since I was 7 years old all the way through college and not once did I even think about a gambling line and neither did any of my teammates.

    There is no script. But there are fix games that certain ref coach or players that can alter the game to benefit themselves. But yes, its not possible to have a script were it must go this way. Cuz thats not possible. That means everybody would be on it. Which puts everything in jeopardy if it leaks out. Fix games are usually personal issues. But i think some of u are taking the word script to literally. Not sure what playing sports have anything to do with this. Unless ur games are on tv and vegas has a line for it. Unless u bet against a friend or someone. Otherwise that argument is useless. Fix games are real. All it takes is one player coach or ref to alter the game. U will only know fix games if u watch the game and know the spread. But if u dont kno the spread and watch the game u will never kno its fixed.

    Just remember, when there is money involved there will be corruption. Money and greed changes people.

    Game 5 in the OKC GS series - first 7 fouls all called against OKC.

    There is only so much the refs can do, but just a couple calls can make a world of difference.
    In gambling if you beat the closing line by 2 points consistently, you will win long term.
    If the refs just slightly favor one team or total, Vegas cleans up long term.
    So far the finals have been legit IMO because all the help in the world will not have the Cavs win at Oracle.
