Do you believe NBA is rigged?

[FlightyPouch]

With so many games that will take place that might be so hard to find out, rigging the games are unpredictable and can happen in a certain live games, we can't say or assess it right away unless you have insiders that will tell you exactly which games will be manipulated.

You have to extend your time doing deeper research to anticipate to possibilities of this claims.

I am sure the referee will do their best to guard the match, even if some referees try to rig the games by giving punishment to some players. But if we want to do deeper research, that will not be easy, since that will need to watch closely for each of them. We can let the match run while we can enjoy the game without thinking about the rig because we are not sure about that.

Well, there are times that the referee are making these weird calls that might be a proof that there are games that are rigged. We don't know actually know what is happening but if there are those people that bet huge amount of money into these sports, I think there are those times where it is being rigged by either the players themselves or the referees.

But that will need more proof for the referee to be guilty, and the association can not judge the referee without having more proof. The audience will not know, but sometimes, the audience can see it clearly, but we can not do anything once again. But I hope that if the NBA games really get rigged, the person can be proved as a suspect, be punished, or be a prison.

A lot of cameras are focussed on every game so I don't think you could just say that they are not guilty as they can review a lot of tapes a million of times as they wanted to. They can be fined, they can be fired, well, as long as they love their job I don't think they would just let theirselves being paid for them to control or manipulate a game.

Technology itself has improve, not only to give the viewers a good experience but to also improve the security against fraud particularly from the people officiating the game, NBA would never do thing that would destroy their reputation as that's destroying a billion dollar business that was built for decades.

The best for each season wins.

But many are believing that by the next season, they can still be the one who'll become the champs again. A back to back as their roster is really strong.

I don't believe that it's rigged too.

Each has their own opinion but we cannot remove the fact that there are really bad calls or bad plays in NBA which makes audiences doubt about the game.

It's acceptable.

Those calls can't be removed in the league.

But having bad calls doesn't mean that the NBA is rigged. The calls of referees don't represent them.

You got it, the league has so much to lose just for a game to be rigged. Almost all of the athletes, staff, managements pour their heart out to win and not all of them would agree to rig a game. We've seen how the play the game. It's even hard to control the game, one missed call by a ref will be all around the internet. Refs make mistakes cause they are human too, if they did create mistakes too many times in a game, then they will lose their job. If one team would want to be a champion, they would put their money getting the best athletes in the league, I think they will want to win in the best way without a high risk and that is the only way.

[Russlenat]

If one team would want to be a champion, they would put their money getting the best athletes in the league,

That's what we are seeing with the NBA teams so far, they will get superstars to make the team a championship caliber and pay them with huge money, they are not involve in any rigging, what we are talking here are only the refs which are rigging games and there's no evidence that they are doing it for the NBA management or a certain team.

I think they will want to win in the best way without a high risk and that is the only way.

They (the team), would not risk their reputation to win, they want a clear and fair chance when playing.

So many people are involved in the game process that it makes them all accomplices in an event that this is rigged and I really cannot believe that. The game packs a punch that many viewers are entertained and also I don't think that they will tarnish their reputation by rigging the game. Many people don't believe that and many people won't accept that there is rigging involved. Anyway, rigging is very complex thing to pull off in my opinion that it will be very scandalous for the NBA to recover if such a thing happened.

Let's make it a situation that NBA is rigged and it's been verified and admitted by the officials. The stand of us can say that we can't accept that but we have no choice to accept the fact that it's rigged. And let's put the situation into the situation that it's not rigged. Even if people say that it's rigged yet they don't have difference, we have to accept that it's not rigged. We can't prove allegations through theories and that's what others are thinking for saying that it's rigged based in their opinions.

Just like other sports, the NBA is also prone to getting rigged. But with advances in technology, It's easier to find rigged games
in NBA games. That's why the number of occurrences of rigged in the NBA is now drastically reduced, and we all hope that in the
future the NBA can be truly free from rigged.

There's no rig happening anymore, if there is it's all in our head as we could see a different thing due to emotional impact on the game, whatever we believe, we can't prove it so it's better to stop thinking of that conspiracy theory.

[Serious475]

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 that NBA is just a drama because there is a lot of features that proves its not like player drafting. If it is real then it will be a big advantage for those who is close to the NBA officials but it will be having no disadvantage for those guys who just bet because their chance of winning is still 50/50 but it will be a big disadvantage for those gamblers who uses statistics to know the probability of winning of each team because that statistics will go nothing if the game has been decided from the first.

Then how about to those games that happened in the past where big controversies about some certain game where calls are way too questionable and not justifiable?
This is why people will really do believe that there are shady stuffs that can happen in the league.Just take a look or listen out on this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VPYyb2y3sw
Anyone who believes that the refs dont control games is delusional but i cant blame if they are really that die hard about on what they do believe.

When you say refs controlling the game, that's a whole bunce of refs controlling it, in the video, there's only one ref that was jailed for manipulating the game, so it should not affect the rest of the referees, and it's not proven that the NBA was ordering him to do that, it was just his own will on doing it for his personal satisfaction.

Got to agree with @Quidat. And even if we have no way to prove, we have our eyes to see and our own knowledge to judge if something fishy or not is really going on or not. And such actions are actually the start to more often than not, investigations about these kinds of issues. A fire wouldn't really start without a spark to light it right? Yes, there's a lot of missing info and controversies whenever we assume something is rigged, and hence why we let those higher ups know, and ask for confirmations or whatever. At the very least, give us an explanation, that's part of our right as a viewer imo.

Have we ever hear that the NBA investigated this alleged rigging of games? Me, I don't hear anything like that but I would be interested to know, maybe someone could share, all I see are just videos showing the game is rig, but there's no investigation or legal action coming from the NBA itself.

Me, I have heard of talks that some NBA games are rigged but all those are simply rumors in other words. And rumors that are coming from friends who probably also heard the same rumors from other friends. In other words, they are simply baseless and without proof.

If the NBA is rigged it is impossible that it won't somehow leak, enough for the league or even other teams to try to gather evidence. It cannot be kept secret forever. If there is still no proof of game fixing within the NBA until now that simply means there is no game fixing.

[ethereumhunter]

The association can review the play since it's recorded, so even if the organization has no proof that the refs are rigging the game, but with inconsistent calls by the referee, they can fire the referee because he is not doing his job, and that would hurt the referee as that is their main income, so they'll certainly make sure they will do their job very well.

Yes, the association can review the play, but if there is no action from the association about rigging the game, people can not do anything. I am sure the referee will do their job with good without try to rigging the game.

A lot of cameras are focussed on every game so I don't think you could just say that they are not guilty as they can review a lot of tapes a million of times as they wanted to. They can be fined, they can be fired, well, as long as they love their job I don't think they would just let theirselves being paid for them to control or manipulate a game.

The referee can get fined, fired, or other things if they are guilty. But if the association has corrupt officials, that will not happen, even if the referee has been proved of rigging the game. Yes, we hope that every referee can lead the game without try to rigging the game.

That's very possible but refs are already old enough to sacrifice their names and their job, for sure the price is right as they are willing to take things to this controversies.

If they are willing to risk everything, then we are not just talking with small amount of money but we are really dealing with thousand to millions worth of illegal activities.

Even how good the management the league have, there are always people who will do and offer
this kind of illegal business, money dictates and if it's really huge it's hard to resist.

I would never believe that NBA game can be rigged, of course there are a lot of cameras scatterd in a courtfor a live coverage how can we say that NBA game can be manipulated. I am a solid fan of basketball and NBA teams was really good teams that i know this teams will never allow to play in a rigged games. Every team has a respective strong player and the team itself has a potential to win the games without being manipulated or controlled by one person or even organization. Its hard to prove that this kind of game was rigged.

[deadthings]

The punishments that organizations can impose when abuses are denounced are not bad. And when you consider how much money players do make in the NBA, I don't think there are players in this league working on that. Maybe a few divisions down, where money flows are significantly lower.

[finaleshot2016]

I'm curious about this. Can you share the theory you've read regarding about NBA being rigged?

If you believe it's rigged, is it a disadvantage or advantage to us bettors?

It's obvious that rigged leagues are an advantage to bettors especially when they have info who's gonna win, it's an easy bet.

But for me, I still do believe that the NBA is not rigged unlike PBA (Philippine Basketball Association) in our country.
There are so many hyped teams this season especially the clippers who were predicted that will play against the lakers, doesn't make it.
