99-76 Heat. Everybody on the Heat covered.
Game went under.
LeBron got 32.
FTA 38-20 for Miami. FTM 33-14.
If you don't think that was a five-star rig-job, know this. I just bet (and made!) more money on this game than any other sporting event I've ever bet. (Not that that's a lot of money in the final analysis! (The bet was $25.))
Anybody who didn't see this coming was a FOOL. Period, plain and simple.
And as much as I think Floyd Mayerweather is a fucking piece of scum, he is the most powerful sports (and sports-betting) figure in Las Vegas, NV. When he talks to the tune of $6M or so, that says something.
If you, like me, were in Vegas today, that wasn't betting. That was an investment.
I've come to the conclusion the NBA is the hands down most rigged sport I have ever seen in my life. At least here in the U.S., they prove better than anyone that it is a business more than a sport.
ReplyDeleteDo you know who is favored in Vegas for the Finals yet? I'm sure they will win big. I would like to say the Spurs, but I'm sure they want to cash in on Miami. The Spurs are just that 'good feeling' in the back of your head hoping they come through to fuck it all up for them.
David $tern provided the model Roger Goodell is working off of. He's taken what used to be in the seedy backrooms and the like and seized control.
ReplyDeleteMiami is about a -240 or so favorite for the series (I think Spurs are +200). Look, I'll have no doubt that Indiana was the better side in that series with the Heat, and the Spurs are even better.
The league wants their new mega-team that's going to win 4-6 titles.
I agree with you, the Spurs are going to get royally screwed in this series. I think they are the better team. The league wants the Heat though. They are the new Bulls, the new 'mega team'.
