I don’t really believe in the idea of rigged games, even in the PBA. Last night’s matchup was simply an ordinary game that turned extraordinary because of Scottie Thompson’s stellar performance. He delivered a career-high 35 points, along with 11 rebounds and 11 assists, leading the Gin Kings to victory and tying the series at 2-2. On the other hand, Junemar Fajardo struggled to score, missing even point-blank attempts, which heavily contributed to the Beermen’s loss. For me, that wasn’t unusual—it was just an off night for San Miguel. Now, all eyes are on Game 5, which promises to be an exciting battle.
Most rig statements usually come from gamblers who just lost their bets. We all have our own observations, sure, but most of the time it’s still just an assumption, not a fact. There’s no solid proof that games are actually being rigged.
That said, I’ll be honest, it’s still one of the factors I personally consider when choosing a team. Sometimes it’s just a gut feel, and surprisingly, I get it right more often than not. But for me, that mostly applies to the PBA, that’s where I really feel something weird is going on. At the end of the day, it’s our money anyway. We can decide how we want to bet it, whether we consider the
“rig factor” or completely ignore it. It’s really not that big of a deal.
You said it right Kabayan, whether there's something weird that's going on its still your money that you need to take care, if you think that's there's a present of manipulation then the best thing is to read it out and assess where you think the hand will point it out and ride with it.. hahhaah, but kidding aside, it's always up to the gambler whether they will continue to gamble and bet or they have also that option to watch alone and not to spare their money if they feel that rigging is going to take place.
