re: Is the NFL in cahoots with Vegas?

Also notice that over the last 15 years or so all the rule additions and updates are completely interpretive. So they can call the same exact play opposite ways in different games, we can say they’re bad calls, we can question what’s behind it but there’s always a built in, interpretive out for the NFL and multi layers of protection for anything they want to do via the officials.

You guys need to realize that people are degenerate gamblers.

They NFL doesn't need to do shite.

and when you factor in that the NFL is under no legal obligation to provide honest or fair competition it’s pretty much a guarantee

Yes they are, otherwise, it’s called fraud if it’s fixed and they deny it. They don’t typically take bets on WWE, know why?

Also sports books routinely have losing weekends

yet some people would rather put their head in the sand and ignore it.

What’s really funny is the same people saying it’s fixed for gambling were saying 10 years ago it was fixed for TV ratings

The class action spygate lawsuit

---

There were Congressional hearings about steroids in baseball. Some powerful Senators wanted to investigate the BCS because their state school didn’t make the BSCCG. As noted here some Jets fan sued because the Patriots were “cheating”. Yet there has never been a single lawsuit, investigation by a legislative body or AG or ambitious prosecutor some where. It takes a special type of gullible to believe it’s “rigged” from the top down and not a single lawsuit or investigation has been advanced anywhere.

That dolphins would be sack vs Maye is insane

Yep. As Jake points out in this video series, ALL the players are in on it.

The Media and NFL want you to believe it's just the refs and maybe a few players.

Remember, the actorletes are highly paid, sign NDA's, and get a pension for life to keep their mouths shut.

I don't think the NFL is cahoots with Vegas. But are their times when individuals have been bought off to throw a game or two? Yes undoubtably.

We know it for a fact has happened in the NBA and MLB and recently. It makes little sense to think that it hasn't happened in the NFL too. It's just a matter of time.

The rapid normalization of gambling just means that the opportunities are much more prevalent.

I mean, when there is gambling, there is cheating. that has always been the case. Just because it's not organized from the top of the NFL doesn't it mean it doesn't happen.

The house always wins? Do they need to be in cahoots?

Is Roger Goodell a toady of the big market teams? Absolutely.

I think the NFL manipulates games to try and keep them close

A team goes up 2 TDs and the other team starts getting lucky with flags

Dont think there is a gambling angle though therre may be some refs that go rogue for gambling purposes but Id think thats more common in college where they make less

No. This is what simpletons think when they have a bad beat or dont understand statistical anomalies and regression to the mean nor the fallibility of refs, coaches and players.

---

This is why it’s ignorant for you to shoehorn everyone into one category

I think the NFL is in bed with Vegas and I don’t gamble



So now what?

Mayer vs Bellicheck
• No Right to Game Integrity in Court: The court found that fans do not have a legal claim or right to sue over how fairly or strictly a sports league chooses to police its own rules and games.

You're reading more into that ruling than is explicitly there. The determination was that a ticket just grants admission to the event and that ticket buyers have no standing to sue the league or involved players/coaches for cheating.
