No, I do not disagree with you. I would say it is most likely improbable that they are all fixed. Maybe even probable that most are not. I would expect the games with the biggest wagering (bowl games, playoffs, monday nt. football) to be the most likely candidates for funny business. Also, there are other ways to "rig" the game. One obvious well known factor is that the betting public likes to go with the favorite. So, I often see the odds/lines shaded against Joe Bettor. Also, I believe the officials have much too much control of the game for my taste. Also, I doubt that most "honest" bookmakers would be privy to the dirty details... loose lips sink ships... Oh, BTW...remember that Green Bay SuperBowl win a couple of years ago when they were 14 pt fave and they won by 14? At least one offshore was letting you have the fave at 14.5 and the dog at 13.5! Cleaned up on both sides! Maybe that's beyond what I thinking by "rigged" as that is outright fraud IMO. Anyway, appreciate your civil post. I do not mind being disagreed with. You make valid points and I would not attempt to conjecture or prove it's all rigged. Just not dumb enough to believe it ain't happnin' either. GGG Regards, Eichler BTW - agree with you especially on the sharp people on this thread. I've learned volumes... Also, who does you're budd like for the SB? ggg
