going on in college basketball? Or has NIL stopped the need to try and make an illegal buck by athletes
Or Refs.
Handicapper Brandon Lang (the handicapper upon which Two for Money is based on) has gone on record stating how easy it is for a sports referee to fix an NBA game, and has said that many crooked officials are still working in the NBA.
Lang states that one official can have a direct influence on the outcome of a game up to 75% of the times. For example, an NBA referee can call enough fouls on both teams, which allows enough free throws to drive up a game’s score.
That Tim Donaghy was engaged in a conspiracy to affect the results of NBA game to tip results in favor of sports bettors is beyond doubt. After all, he wouldn’t have pleaded guilty unless the evidence against him was absolutely overwhelming. What isn’t conclusive, is the extent of the conspiracy, and if other referees in the NBA were engaged in either the same or similar betting enterprises.
