@DoubleUp4Life The main sports that people regularly believe are rigged are football and basketball In my view this is because these sports are fundamentally flawed in the modern world, as in they have evolved to a point where they rely on referee involvement throughout the game, and very often on multiple occasions that materially affect the outcome Eg soccer can have a referee award 20 free kicks but the unstructured nature of the game is that it can often have no bearing on the game. However in NFL in most games the flags, or lack of, steer the outcome in so many ways Basketball even worse because at the end of the game every foul call leads to an outcome on the scoreboard not just field position
Totally agree ...
Other than futures I almost entirely stopped betting on basketball when Donaghy got busted ( no way is he a lone wolf )...He probably was the only one dumb enough to start betting on what he was instructed to do ..
Betting on the NFL is a different animal , can't handicap games based on who is the better team or how they match up in the trenches etc ....My most valuable strategy is to wager on or what I think the NFL wants to happen ...These prime time games are comedic gold ...Enjoy watching them much more with no money involved
