OT: Tim Donaghy, The Fix and Moving Money

[Chin Diesel]

Real good read on the players moving lines, moving money and making things happen.

How former ref Tim Donaghy conspired to fix NBA games


"You wanna get paid?" Battista had said to the ref. "Then you gotta cover 'n spread." The bribe was only two dimes, $2,000 per game -- an outrageous bargain. If the pick won, the ref got his two dimes. If the pick missed, the ref owed nothing; Battista would eat the loss. A "free roll," as they call it. But this referee didn't lose much. His picks were winning at an 88 percent clip, totally unheard of in sports betting for any sustained period of time. They were now entering the sixth week of the scheme -- what you might call a sustained period of time.

This is how jimmy battista sells picks.

they watch the screen and when something moves from -5 to -6 then tells you to bet -5 and claims he moved the number.
