Like overall, across all professional sports.

I know some of it has to be but surely it can't be a big percentage cause that is way too many people that would have to be in on it, someone would have slipped up by now.

I think if Vegas is involved, it's rigged. And I don't think a lot of people has to be in on it. In the case of the NFL, it'll only take a few referees to change the momentum of a game. And most of them are lawyers and business owners, so i know most of them are cliqued up.

The league has so many analytics on players even before using AWS for stats and percentages. They have it down to a science.

yup! Any sports that is PARTNERS with betting sites and casinos can't be trusted. I've actually stopped gambling on sports because its been so blatant of late. Soccer might be the least rigged as far as in game play...basketball and football are the worst.

It's not rigged they would get the cowboys & the Knicks to win every once in a while if it were.
The NBA would kill for NY to be a contender every year

Not really, does the cleaning lady, in the company you work for, knows about what happens in finance or HR? Only the people with total control knows what happens in all levels and sections of a particular business/company.

The NBA uses the referees to alter games and help players. Going back to the Jordan rule where he wasn't allowed to foul out because he was the biggest draw till now where the refs favor certain teams or players.

I stopped watching the NFL for the most part. In soccer, there have been betting scandals and rigged games going back to the 60s at least.

thhey used to call fouls against Kobe so he could score more points. NBA already been exposed for all the corrupt refs. Hearing all these stories from former refs and players makes the last 20 years or so make sense

So you think the refs are the ones that are in on it? Maybe some of them not all of them?

Cause I can't see the players being in on this at all. Someone would have cracked by now!

Powerful people and money can be very persuasive.

That is fair. Maybe they have dirt on some of these people. Maybe some of them went to a certain island and did some nasty stuff. We really don't know and we never will know about that stuff. The feds ran that entire island.
