College point shaving indictments

[Edward Sargent]

You have to wonder if the whole team including coaches were involved. If Calhoun had ever seen any of his guys playing as bad as 3 and 10 they'd have splinters in their arses from the bench

 

[Edward Sargent]

That's the insane part.

You're gonna put six figures on props bets involving Tulane basketball?

Just drive yourself to the FBI office.

None of these teams are creme de creme of the NIL department. This has a lot to do with this. Also its not just the players coaches have to be involved given the level of play seen in these vids

When you're nearly a double digit underdog in the first half of a MAC game, playing like ass is sort of a given.

I would need a straitjacket after that one. Yikes.*

I lost a live bet on an Under last week because a team fouled intentionally while down 16(!) in the final minute. Makes you wonder if players or even coaches are manipulating spreads or totals.

*Actually, now that I think about this, that did happen to me. I had South Carolina beating the UConn women -4.5 or -5.5, and we cut like a 12 point lead to 4 in the final minute. I should have just bet the moneyline.

Maybe stop betting on CBB?

These clearly aren't the brightest people. If Vegas put a betting line on Conn College vs. Wesleyan this crew would be rigging that game.

All the player prop stuff now is crazy. I never bet that stuff. I would think that would be easier to throw. Like if the player takes an under of 18 pts, when they get to 16, they might pass the ball more the final few mins. Or foul out.

I'm up about 24K in 4 years doing this (not only CBB), so, uh

 

[BigTenFan]

This was inevitable. It's ruining sports and many people's lives.

 

[Irvine]

Would have been massive headlines a few years back. No more than a article link on ESPN on Fox. The entire industry is fueled on sports betting.

Good for you. Maybe more if you shuffled burgers at Wendy’s?

Looks like it was all DePaul. Kick them out of the conference and add Duke.

My bet would definitely be on Conn College - all the Wesleyan kids were so weird.

I certainly hope we NEVER see UConn players involved in any of this. Would totally suck! Personally I don’t like gambling, never have. I will say I always like when we don’t cover the spread, though. Gambling can make fans into a$&holes.

Almost. Another reason I’m glad Etienne never committed. He’s one of the charged defendants.

Mac Etienne, that's a name from the past. Boy did he turn out to be a bust and a bad person. From the spitting to the point shaving, man am I glad he never came here.

The Marquette/NC State game in 2024 was one of the fishiest games I can remember. Marquette was a 6.5 point favorite and the over/under was 151.5. This was a really good Marquette team.

Joplin and Mitchell simultaneously had the worst game I think I ever saw either of them have. During the season, Joplin shot 50% from 2 and 35.5% from 3. Mitchell was 63.1% and 26.5%. In that game, Joplin was 2-10 overall, 0-7 from 3, 0-3 from the free throw line. Mitchell was 2-8, 0-4, 4-5. They were a combined 0-11 from 3.

The thing that really stuck out about the game was the passing. They didn't turn the ball over much, but none of their passes were clean. Cam Jones could be wide open on the perimeter, and the pass would be at his knees or 2 feet to his left. Not bad enough to result in a turnover, but it was hard to catch and shoot off a really bad pass. There were probably 10 of those, maybe more. If I was going to fix a game, and I didn't want it to show up in the box score, that is how I would do it. Just be a little off with my passes, and my teammates either wouldn't take their shots or would take a contested one after they gathered it.

I watched the game with a buddy of mine, and we both saw the same thing. And you could hide huge bets on a Sweet 16 game and no one would catch it.
