iowa state had some of their worst free throw shooters in during that last few minutes so its no wonder why missed so many. as said previously texas seemed to be in target practice mode from 3 in the last few minutes. how many of those 3 pointers that texas hit was done so with a hand in their face? how easy was it for taylor to drive to the hole and score during the last 2 minutes. then texas while down 5 doesn't look for a 3 instead a 2 pt basket? lol. all of this going on while the announcers mockingly laugh about the 5 point spread and the total being up for grabs.

He was a ref for crying out loud. Sure it may happen but 99.7% of games are not fixed. If u believe it is than you are stupid for betting in the first place.Lol, 99.7% of games aren't fixed!? The sports betting industry is Around a billion dollars. You're saying that Las Vegas casinos would leave a billion dollar industry to chance? Yup, makes a lot of sense.
No you're right. Sports bettors on average will win more than they lose so they have to get an edge. Otherwise your average joe would pick winner after winner and the books would go broke. No way they leave that to chance. So they call in to make sure the kid misses a ft here and there and make sure the other kid scores with .6 left. Perfectly scripted and executed. Great athletes, even better actors. My goodness there must've been millions of dollars Vegas woulda loss had Iowa state covered, as if no one bet on Texas...
Vegas doesn't need an edge. Majority of sports bettors lose. There is no fix by Vegas, they could care less. Any fix that occurs is not by Vegas, it's by the bettor. It's an absolute joke to think Vegas has anything to do with it. Point shaving cases in history was never with Vegas behind it.
Yup, makes a lot of sense.
You obviously don't know how the sports betting industry works. "There is no fix by Vegas." LOL

If you could give me just one example on how Vegas was behind the fix I will STFU. Since you obviously know how the sports betting industry works please give me one example where Vegas was behind the fix. Not the MOB, not some local bookies, but VEGAS.

Lol, 99.7% of games aren't fixed!? The sports betting industry is Around a billion dollars. You're saying that Las Vegas casinos would leave a billion dollar industry to chance? Yup, makes a lot of sense.
Throwing out that billion dollar number is so misleading. They may take near a billion in bets each year, but they only keep around 240 million. Vegas casinos overall revenue take in 10+ Billion, which means sportsbook revenue represent less than 2% of yearly intake. Sportsbooks are chump change to Vegas hotels operators. They only exist to attract peps into their casino. In fact, they are more hassle then they're worth so more and more casinos are outsourcing their books to 3rd parties to run and operatie (ex. Cantor Gaming and William Hill)
Follow the money right? For Vegas Casinos, that money doesn't exist.
And have you ever thought of this......All the fixed games in the past, have been from people trying to TAKE MONEY FROM THE CASINOS/BOOKS. "Vegas" has actually been the victim in all proven fixed matches in the past.

You just can't argue with these people. They can't formulate an argument whatsoever. You read everything that j-walk just wrote and you still don't get it. You are a lost cause.

Was just about to post exactly this. In one ear out the other for these guys. In all seriousness, reality is just too boring for these guys. The conspiracy idea makes life more interesting for them I guess.
