Is Vegas Really to Blame?


Reynman

Recommended Posts

When I saw all the sharps (the big money Vegas gamblers) over that past 2 days laying large sums on Denver, I started to worry.

But then I said to myself, there is no way that the refs (or the NFL) can make this happen.

 

I hate to be a conspiracy theorist, but  man...I saw this coming.  Is it really that simple?????

Vegas is just that good. It wasn't "FIXED".

They set the line in a manner (it opened at Carolina -3.5 in some spots) at a small enough margin that most of the dopes in the world take the hook and they took it all the way up to -5 and -5.5. People who are dense and not sharp at all and just believed carolina would steam roll. Many of those types post here. They knew all along that Denver would win the game outright, or they would only lose by 3 or so. They were always vested, they are professionals. It served its purpose. They don't control the outcome per say but any time you see a large amount of the public on a side like tonight, usually the public is wrong. Thats why all the big buildings are built in vegas. Because people and their money when they gamble part ways. People aren't sharp. Unless you are me of course. I made a killing tonight bc I had tomorrow's paper today.

    • No, it will be a raw 6'7" 17-year-old European who just played basketball for the first time in March and who the idiot GM "had first on our board." He'll play the whole G-League season, get in 42 games for the Hornets and average 1.1 ppg on 35% shooting. Been there, seen that.
    • We missed on Burns at his peak value. That’s the problem with trading for picks 2-3 years away (which people were convinced the Rams would suck by now and these would be higher picks btw). Each year away the pick is the further in value it drops. Fitt was clearly hired based on turning us around quickly. It’s one of the many reasons tanking isn’t really a thing as our player JJ is telling you in this original article. It would take the whole organization from the owners down admitting they aren’t winning soon with Burns and picks 2-3 years away having more value because that’s when we are still rebuilding. It would only make sense if Fitt had a longer leash and would more than likely be the ones making these picks anyway which you wouldn’t want. The question is would you rather have those Rams picks with the strong possibility of Fitt still being here or would you rather Fitt try to “win now” like he did and expedite his firing? Altering the timeline would affect more than just the Rams picks. 
    • I dont buy the idea that it would create more competitive games Given this: Seed Current Format Record Proposed Open Seeding Record 1 Lions 15–2 Lions 15–2 2 Eagles 14–3 Eagles 14–3 3 Buccaneers 10–7 Vikings 14–3 4 Rams 10–7 Commanders 12–5 5 Vikings 14–3 Rams 10–7 6 Commanders 12–5 Buccaneers 10–7 7 Packers 11–6 Packers 11–6 That would mean Wild Card round would have been Eagles (14/3) v  Pack(11/6) Vikings(14/3) v Bucs(10/7) Commanders(12/5) v Rams(10/7) Instead of Eagles (14/3) v  Pack(11/6) Bucs(10/7) v Commanders(12/5) Rams(10/7) v Vikings(14/3) Then with the reseed it would mean that highest remaining seed would always draw the lowest remaining team.
