Like the saying goes, "you cant fix stupid!"
If you could get 100% of the betting world to be on ONE side of the game, you WOULD see the FIX. I assure you!
If bettors knew the script we wouldnt be on this forum ass clown! We'd be basking in the sun with the hottest women on permanent vacations! Or openign our very own casinos.
It's perfectly legal to fix a sporting event for entertainment purposes. Illegal for gambling purposes or intellectual competition.
there's your loophole.

I find it funny you can't prove games are not fixed. Everyone wants proof they're fixed, but no one can prove they're not. There's plenty of articles on fixing. Nothing that disproves them though. Your logic is purely detrimental to your own intelligence which is leads to believe you lack much substance in the emptiness within your skull. I diagnose your boredom with simplicity that your ill thinking may be a corrupt form of actual logical thinking. To counter act this defect, I suggest you go occupy yourself with a few brain games to heighten your IQ which in turn should produce a somewhat positive logical thought process which you desperately lack.
The faulty logic is yours. The original statement of this thread concerns Eric Decker point shaving to help SD cover Sunday's game. Saying we have to prove he did NOT fix the game is ridiculous. It's like saying to all of us " prove that fairies don't exist"- which we obviously can't. Or prove that the Cardinals didn't throw last year's World Series and lose on purpose to collect some kind of payoff- which we can't obviously prove. If you throw out charges of a story that purports that Decker (or these other players/refs) took a bribe, which is a huge, spectacular story in the sports world, you should have some kind of evidence that it happened, even a glimmer of evidence. And if there was some evidence, the league officials would certainly go to great lengths to investigate. One scandal and they would be nearly ruined.
As for all those other "fixes", the statistical probability of all of them happening, or even some of them- and all parties staying quiet, and not being brought before investigation- are so tiny that it is nearing impossibility. We all want to believe it to be true because it affirms our love of conspiracies and that the rich guys of the world are plotting all the time to keep us down- but really these unlikely events that happen in games are just random. Very unlikely but random. Sort of like getting a royal flush twice in the same week. You might say that person cheated, had to cheat- but they didn't. They just got unusually good luck, and probably won't get a royal flush for another 20 years.
We might want to believe Bigfoot is real, but it doesn't make it so.
Here is the other problem with asserting NFL games are fixed:
When all the shady stuff went on in CBB & CFB with Toledo & Arizona State, some of the first people involved were the Nevada Gaming Commission because the casino's noticed the big, one sided action on small volume games.
If you don't think someone, somewhere would notice when there is say $5 million lopsided on 1 game from a small circle of bettors, you're not really that informed about how all this works.

I see no reason to believe an NFL game was fixed in the last 30 years. I don't care what some guy says about 1979, it isn't really relevant here.
Do I think it possible that games were fixed in the early years of the NFL when it was a smaller venture and we didn't have all these oversight agencies, computer databases, twitter, etc? Sure.
Do I think people have tried to do so in the last 30 years by either reaching out to, or threatening players or officials? Probably.
But there is a leap from that to saying an individual player or players or officials actually shaved points.

Decker always has games like that, he either has HUGE games, or horrible ones. He was horrific as well a few other times this year, with even worse games than last week. Unless these are all fixed, and basically the entire career of Eric Decker is fixed - I have no reason to believe he's in on anything. He's always just been a mostly boom but sometimes BUST bad type of guy on Sundays. He has elite ability but it isn't always consistent hence it shows
Yes. Believe it or not, New Orleans just covered the spread. You also used the word "rarely". Rarely signifies something that usually doesn't happen but can happen. Kind of like rolling two dice and getting a 2. The odds are 1 out of 36, but it does happen. Rolling a 1, now that's impossible- that's what you are talking about. Big difference. You should have listened in 7th grade math class.
