They call this selective memory.How about some of these relievers that constantly blow games that have huge money bet on them? Seems to be the same guys over and over again and then when the money is the other way they are lights out? Or how about that reliever that never fails and makes the game end in a one run game and all 1.5 bets get hammered?
Relievers don't know which game they are going to pitch in.
Thus the idea that they could fix a game is ridiculous, unless perhaps you are live betting, but the $$ just isn't there.
When you talk about games being rigged in sports you can have players come out and admit it and still people wouldn't believe it. to me its so obvious a three year old should be able to see it.How quickly some forget...
The 1919 World Series resulted in the most famous scandal in baseball history.
Eight players from the Chicago White Sox (later nicknamed the Black Sox) were accused of throwing the series against the Cincinnati Reds. Details of the scandal and the extent to which each man was involved have always been unclear.
It was, however, front-page news across the country and, despite being acquitted of criminal charges, the players were banned from professional baseball for life.
The eight men included the great "Shoeless" Joe Jackson; pitchers Eddie Cicotte and Claude "Lefty" Williams; infielders Buck Weaver, Arnold "Chick" Gandil, Fred McMullin, and Charles "Swede" Risberg; and outfielder Oscar "Happy" Felsch
But how many games can a closer intentionally blow before it starts affecting his bottom line? He will blow enough unintentionally.If you (meaning the game fixers) can get to the team's closer, they can fix the game. The only way the closer won't get in the game is if the bad guys have a big lead. If the team who's supposed to lose can only have a small lead, the closer can make sure the other team wins. (if the team who isn't supposed to win happens to have a 1 to 3 run lead heading into the 9th.
i say "no" .. maybe in the past when players played for a hot dog after the game and the owners pounded them in the ass. but not now, those guys are making a fortune... no reason to do anything other than get that check..person we rent a room to at the house was telling me baseball is fixed and im a idiot for betting on it i wonder how can baseball games be fixed i dont see it:+clueless
