I grew up as a fan as well. After I realized games were being rigged I stoped being the "fan" and began to be the "oppurtunist".
I don't bet on sports games in general, I just have a passion for betting, not gambling I wouldnt spend more then a hundred dollars at a casino table, but yet I bet on some sport games and I'm usually pretty accurate at predicting a winner. But like I said, its strictly recreational, without any stigma of a gambler attached to it. |

| Thats kool, but wouldn't it be kind of hard to bet when the games are rigged, because you don't know who might actually win |

Yea I saw it, he said the series ain't over
..and Gasol doesn't suck, he's just soft, and his true position is a PF, right now he's playing Center, if Phil Jackson decides to use DJ Mbenga or Chris Mihm at Center and move Gasol to PF then he would be more free to do whatever he wants |

You have a point, but there is more involved then the average "organized style" or game rigging as it once was back in the days.
Nowadays its more about audience, Jordan and Pippen, Magic and Bird, these type of players amount to massive amount of dollars in sales.
Let me give you a very brief breakdown of what Im refering to when I say "rigging".
Boston is the obvious best team in the NBA. The payoff for Boston to win isnt as high, since everyone is voting FOR Boston to win. The Lakers made a creative pass through the playoffs and are now in the finals seat. If you look at the stats in order to make a sensible judgment on which team will win the finals, you will bet your money on the Boston Celtics.
Due to the large amount of people buying into the marketing of the rematch of a life time, Boston and Lakers at it again, the Showtime era back with a twist, yada yada, alot of people have begun to bet on the Lakers to win. Thus creating a larger gap between the odds, and making my payoff much higher then it was before. In reality the Lakers will lose and Boston will win, but I will make more money now because of fans who bet on "hope" rather then "calculated risk".
Go now, and may the DarkSide be with you. |

Just use my user name as reference bud, thanks.
I've helped some people before, but I wasnt happy with the outcome. I try to distance myself from helping others with betting.
I'll share one method into betting I learned once. Pick up the stats page on the paper or net for the sport your interested in. Then begin to pretend-play. Find what the stats and odds are for the team youre betting on. Then check how strapped you are on cash, and pretend you play.
After you build some confidence in picking teams, start to play with real cash. |

Lakers played sloppy defense on Paul Pierce, but glad they still got a win, and if Gasol and Odom can play like that then we got a chance, cuz we won without Kobe being much of a factor for the last 3 quarters, came out on fire in the first, but that was about it.

F*ck Celtics, I still have high hopes for lake show. If they win game 6, game 7 will depend on whoever wants to kiss that trophy the most, and it's obviously kobe who wants to do that  |

| Bostons been doing a good job defending Kobe, and the Lakers still won, Im just imagining if Kobe breaks loose in the 4th quarter, like he did in the first quarter last night, we need some 4th quarter scorers. I think the next 2 in Boston will be close games, or atleast the next one for now. |
