I have read a lot of theories about NBA being rigged and a little portion of me were convince, so I would like to ask you.
If you believe it's rigged, is it a disadvantage or advantage to us bettors?
Share your opinion and if you have some proof, kindly post.

I don't believe such drama but if it's true then it's advantageous to bettors who knew it and not for those who don't. There are many accusations of it being rigged and some have even deep analysis, you can find it on the web. Here's an example of it: Is the NBA rigged? Yes and no. Deep data analysis of the Last Two Minute ReportsIf it's really rigged then it matters not to the small bettors but to those high rollers.

Well, by rigged we're talking about games being fixed, not someone leaking insider information about game predictions to gamblers. The last time someone was busted leaking NBA game info was in 2007 by a referee, people who are supposed to remain neutral: Which is not the case of NBA games being fixed (the score being predicted). I couldn't find a single case of an NBA game being fixed. The NBA, and also the NFL, coordinates with the Feds to weed out and catch people who are fixing games, and more often than not it's the players or managers themselves, and this is why there aren't any records of NBA game fixtures in this damning list of game fixtures in various sports. So I wouldn't be worried about NBA matches being fixed. People caught doing that get banned from playing for life.

For the most part I don't think it's rigged but whenever the players make questionable plays like fouling at the last second makes me want to say it's rigged. If the NBA is indeed rigged I think it's still a 50-50 since you don't know which team would get more favorable calls. This reminds me of the news a week ago where the Lakers presented a case about their players not getting enough free throws during the Nuggets series.

In which part did those theories convinced you? I don't believe it is rigged and there's not that much advantage if ever it's real. I'm not thinking of something like this as if there's still mafia that controls the league or teams like to go through game 7 if it's likely to be ended within a straight game 4 series. There will be times that there are doubtful calls and actions from each player but I think it's really part of the game and also happens in other sporting events.

If NBA is rigged the benefit of bettors will depend on how much they know about it, just like having an intel from inside the CIA, that would be a blast if you know but also it will depend on the odds on the betting platform. Share your opinion and if you have some proof, kindly post.
I'm fond of NBA, I've watched numerous NBA games and to be honest I don't see any rigged or fixed games in the NBA, it is just that referees are human too, they can't see the whole corner of the court. Maybe from that, many people concludes that NBA is rigged or being fixed at some point.

I think certain moments of the game are rigged in a way or another as some calls from the referees are not the same for the other team. I also watched some magnetic rims videos on youtube and I must say that those trows from Curry are from another world...pure skill or pure manipulation , we will never now I guess.
However, tonight is the 1st game of the finals and I'm going with Lakers .

I have thought of that before because there are plays that I've followed before where a team can easily win because of their score advantage or gap but it turns out that they still loose at the end because their opponent catches up . Not just nba but also I noticed this on local basketball games and other sports .
I don't have a proof but this happens countless times Being rigged has never been an advantage to the bettors but it is an advantage to the owners of the sportsbook and casino

No I do not think the NBA is rigged. I'm curious why you think this and I guess at some point in my "fandomhood" I've pondered the questions but it doesn't shake out when you consider the conspiracies that are out there as to why it may be. I think the NBA if "rigged" in any sort of way would be when players team up and build these super teams that essentially guarantee a championship but I still don't think this is per say "rigging" the league.
If I had proof I'd post it but I don't think anyone has "proof" of this on either side of the aisle.

Any game in the world can be rigged and NBA is no exception. So it can very well be rigged but no one certainly has a documented proof of it. You canbtry searching Google but whatever information you will get there are conspiracy theories with little facts. In general, there is no advantages or disadvantages for the gamblers if a game is rigged. But if you are privy to such internal information, that's only advantage for you!

NBA being rigged is a topic that I perceive with insufficient evidence. Although we cannot really know for certain what is really happening back there. I agree that whether it is rigged or not, it does not practically mean as an advantage or disadvantage to bettors since the team who will be favoured is yet to unfold.

I don't believe it's rigged the organization will not allow game fixing it will be the end the organization if the theories are rigged, they are paying millions of dollars to play at their best and people watch to expect both teams to battle for the win, this is just theories and hear says until now the NBA enjoys huge profir and the repuation is still high, if it's rigged I don't know how bettors can make an advantage unless you have an inside tip on who will suppose to win.

There are questionable plays and some questionable flops during some crucial situations on some games but I don't think that alone is enough reason to say that NBA games are rigged, or are fixed for the benefit of those huge bettors inside the game. If it is then I'd say that the match which are fixed are very subtle that millions of fans couldn't notice it. There are some conspiracies to it though I'd like to believe that those things that they are pointing at are mere happenstances and not really intentional.
It's hard to rig the NBA. It's a huge scandal and will surely lose a lot of sponsorship and money on the game.

I've been watching some previous games this playoffs in NBA for what I've seen I think they were not rigged but if you could provide some evidences or ideas that may or can support the theory maybe it could also change my mind. I don't think there would be an advantage or disadvantage for the bettors since we don't know who will won or what will be the outcome only the people who managed to manipulate would have the advantage.

Considering the money earned by players are from the sponsors and tickets, it could be arranged but there are just too many people to coordinate with for it to be rigged, someone's got to whistle.

When it ends up conspiracy somehow it the person who exposed it will be ridiculed by the media for they are involve. So why would he let out the information for it being rigged. He just got to make money out of it.

How on earth are you going to rig a game with that many athletes? Come on now, surely you can't be that stupid.
Who knew that all of the world's tallest people were also some of the world's best actors, who don't even show the slightest hint of being paid to take a dive?!
I can understand rigging something like boxing, where all it takes is a knockdown and fake KO to rig the fight, you can't do that in basketball where even the slightest hint of not trying would be caught by everybody in the audience and watching at home.
The only chance could be that the referee is biased, but that's rarely enough to swing a game one way or another.
Are you some sort of wacko conspiracy theorist?

Although there may be conspiracy theories behind such, I doubt that the biggest basketball association in the world would be involve into these kinds of schemes. The game is purely and mostly based on the skill and athletic ability of the player. These players work tirelessly in order to achieve the dream of winning a championship to their team. If they were to sacrifice their hard work just for the sake of money (although most of them are rich already), then they are throwing away their pride and effort. I really doubt that is the case in the NBA and if it were, then social media will be exploding by now.

NBA is no way rigged, I don't think the pride of the players can survive that kind of cheating. This is not wrestling that is scripted or what, NBA is never rigged generally. I said "generally not" because just few can be paid to do some dirty shits inside the court either the player or the referee. Even though that's the case sometimes, there are still lots of reputable NBA players and officials that shows NBA is not rigged at all. If NBA is rigged, it might have a disadvantage for the bettor if he don't know how the rigging of the games or series are planned.

That's the Tim Donaghy and the animals scandal. Tim Donaghy claimed he could directly influence an NBA game by 6 points through strategically called fouls. He would target specific players calling fouls on them early in the game to try to shake them and discourage them. He also fed behind the scenes locker room information. Their winning accuracy was 70% to 80%. Everyone involved profited truck loads of money. Very few if any were able to enjoy it. Many of the gamblers involved had cocaine addictions, health problems and other issues which prevented them from enjoying their winnings. Its an amazing story. Would highly recommend looking it up to anyone interested in gambling. .... As far as the NBA being rigged, I think large segments of professional sports became far more rigged post 2018. That was around the time wallstreet investment bankers bought up a majority of sportsbooks to consolidate and centralize markets. Levels of corruption in sports greatly increased thereafter, with correlation being causation. Not every game is rigged. But sports on average are more rigged than they used to be.
