NBA is not free from rig

[lionheart78]

I believe there is no league that is free from game fixing, big or small.  Let us accept the fact that in sports betting, rigged games are one of the random factor that affects the result of the game.  So if we bet, whether we are betting on a genuine match result or a rigged match-up result is determine with our luck  .  This is one of the occasions where sports betting result relies on luck.  
Btw, there is no strong evidence or reported case where NBA is systematically rigging games but there are isolated cases where officiating staff influence the result of the game like the Tim Donaghy scandal on 2007

Some legends have been caught like Billups and even Rozier. I also remember Jontay Porter, he's also caught. That's why no one is free from the NBA. The NBA is clean to be honest but its players are the ones who are putting a stain on it by being engaged into gambling. But if these players are not part of this ring of scandals of gambling then NBA will be free. So, the management IMO is just fine and they're just being abused for not detecting it too early. The players will use the identity of their friend or relatives as their representative for this cheating and selling they'd do.

Maybe that case happen leave an impression to some bettors that NBA can be manipulated, but actually its rare case situation and there are just only few individual caught doing such action.

What's good to know is, NBA immediately take action and they show to their audiences also to those people betting on it that they are not tolerating that kind then penalize those people involve who ever they are and what achievements they've got from NBA.

It can be manipulated by very few, but overall, it's not happening everywhere.

Yes, I think that they're not letting it pass when there are questionable plays of some players. Because they've got good observants and with the help of the internet, one viral video of analyzing a game and questionable play of a player will definitely call their attention for.

NBA can be rigged just like every other sport that the bookies fixes odd for which appear on the casinos. The rigging NBA is very high because it is not easy to noticed. This rigging have made me lost so much money im game that the result will be obvious that something was not right.

I get why you feel that way, most especially loosing a game you are 100 percent sure of winning. I keeps saying it sports is not something you can be 100 percent sure of anything can change at any given time, referee decisions, and player doing little mistake can completely change a game. Talking about NBA there have been a time I hear of seen a cases of match fixing in sport for years now that NBA was rig and there is no accurate evidence that the NBA has ever been rigged ro am not really a fan of basket ball.

How much you've lost? I disagree with you about saying that the rigging is high with the NBA. The cases that have been caught, they're not a lot per year although that makes it still possibly to be rigged not by the NBA but by the nba players who have been used to it. But I agree that they're not easy to notice because they all look natural when these involved does it, so that it won't make them suspicious upon doing the manipulation.

I have read about basketball rigging in the past, but it's as much as recommended football rigging. I believe we have more of the sports rigging happening within football than any other sport. I might be wrong; this is based on the articles I've read about over the years. Maybe one type of sport doesn't do a good job at hiding as the other, but none of them are immune to rigging as long as greed doesn't get into some of the key players.

Now that you know there is a possibility that games can be rigged or influenced, you should learn from it and not just follow your heart by betting on your favorite team. When you already see something obvious, like what you mentioned, then that should be your basis if you really want to have a better chance of winning.

Sometimes these suspicious situations can even give bettors an edge if they can read which side is likely to win, but of course that is not always easy and it is still risky. This time we have to be smarter because the main intention in gambling is to win, while enjoyment is only second.

Not saying you are wrong or anything but what if you lost based on the fact that your predictions were wrong and not because the results were rigged or anything? Because the people that say that a match was rigged and are sure of it are people that have lost a bet. It is possible for there to have been a little manipulation but at the same time it is also possible that you lost due to other reasons.

So what does it say? It says that even major sports leagues are never free from manipulation.

I've always believed that some level of manipulation exists in the major leagues, though not as widespread as in the lower leagues. It's certainly practiced by some parties in subtle and difficult-to-detect ways. But what I still find unfathomable is that even though they understand the consequences, they still do it. Even though they earn so much money from the league, they still choose to risk their careers and reputations for short-term gain.

[Shinpako09]

With hundreds of players, coaches, and staff members, we're talking about thousands of individuals. So, it's really not surprising that the NBA isn't completely free from rig. I don't think they're the first to do it, and they certainly won't be the last. Maybe those who did it before were just more careful, and those who do it in the future will be even more careful.

But if I were an NBA player or even G-League player, even if I were earning the minimum salary, I still wouldn't do it. You're already making far more than the average employee, so it just wouldn't be worth risking your career and reputation.

Statistically you are right, this is not the first time and won't be the last one we hear about some player selling himself out for the sake of getting even more money from their personal career in sports.

This story is a very good reason for us to stay away from markets and bets which involve personal statistics of single players, those are the easiest to manipulate, as it just take a single player to under-perform.
It is better just to bet in parlays, moneyline, etc... markers whose outcome depend on the combined effort of the whole team...

And I’m pretty sure he is not the only one doing that. There could still be many active NBA players now who are doing it without being noticed, and if they do it successfully, they can make millions easily since sports betting is a billion-dollar industry.

By spreading their bets across different sportsbooks, they can successfully place a bet without making it too obvious.

So the reflection is, don’t trust the stats too much. Sometimes, you also have to look at the rigged angle.

Thats basically true. Even major league have some game fixing and some manipulations from big player and undergound players. Im pretty sure this news is not even the first time and some happening without even noticed.

Whats the lesson here. Dont follow such stats from players since it might be prone to manipulation. Honestly even influencers take I ignore.

Stats are basic, so we should not just focus on them. What can sometimes give us a clue if a game could be manipulated or not is the betting line, because unusual line movement can tell us something. But in this case, it is different because it is a player prop. You have to determine if the outcome can be influenced since it is based on what the player wants to do, especially if they are involved in game fixing.

This news confirms that these things can happen, and maybe some cases are just not discovered yet.

Yeah I remember these legends, and it's a shame that they were caught in such thing, this shows that even if a sport is rigged free, the players can still go to such lengthy like this.

There is a sports that is completely free from getting rigged, it's not even about it can happen, I am sure that it's already happening not today or yesterday, I just can't prove it.

Humans are greedy in nature.

There is also one case of insider information. About a team mate of Lebron (I forget his name), but he was not officially part of the Lakers coaching staff. But since he is close to Lebron he was given access to the facilities.

And it was reported that he knows Lebron is not going to play in those one game and so he give this tip to some gambler in exchange of money. But he was eventually caught by the league.

Its Damon Jones he had those access on crucial information and been confirm rigging by leaking important and became an insider for some bettors, LBJ is cleared up with the messed brought up by that guy.

He found guilty on that case https://abcnews.com/US/damon-jones-pleads-guilty-gambling-cases-sincerely-apologize/story?id=132456695

Imagine the opportunity he waste on gambling.

Maybe he saw a bigger opportunity with gambling because with just one bet, he can make a lot of money. What he did not see was the possibility of getting caught and the consequences that would come with it.

Now, the good thing is that he pleaded guilty, meaning he admitted his mistake and apologized. But it is still sad because he is already 49 years old. I have not read how many years he will be put in jail, but at that age, he is supposed to be relaxing, not serving punishment.

This is one thing I do not lie about predictions market because an insider could likely leak the information in respect to favor them or their friends including relatives.

Also know that any game is possible and likely to be rigged at any given time that is why it's good I do not trust any team, although local or lower team are easily to be rigged just to make sure that the their opposition win the game.

We should be that careful while making our selection and predictions so that we wouldn't be that easily losing while gambling.

That is not a prediction market, that is sports betting. And yes, they can leak information, but that does not mean it is already an automatic win.

That information can only be used to analyze the game and give you an advantage as a bettor. For instance, if one player is not 100% healthy and he is a starter, his performance might decline. So you can bet against that team or against that player prop because you believe you have a better chance of winning.
