New article on Donaghy game fixing
 
http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/2...-fix-nba-games

Very detailed, found it quite interesting. Also learned that NBA refs are only allowed to bet on horse racing!

My biggest takeaway...gamblers always figure out any corruption/cheating first!

Bubba Smith thought SB III was fixed and most people laughed it off. I watched it on YouTube the other day and it wouldn't shock me if it were true. Especially back in those days.

As economist Wladimir Andreff of the University of Paris has written: "All economic analyses conclude that the more money there is inflowing to sport, the greater the sport corruption."


That's what my dad told me numerous times over the years. I'm falling asleep and hope to finish reading this article soon.

Thanks cj for posting it.

And they never fail to just ride along. Gamblers really don't care one way or the other about the integrity of the event, particularly if they can figure out the edge before it's over.
