The system is bigger than one player. There are 3 teams on every field and floor: Home, Away/Neutral, and Officials/Refs.

All three are there to get a job done and each is a powerful force. No single player transcends this.

So same normal bet size if it triggers as a bet.

The thing is even in a lot of these games that were “fixed” like in basketball for example, it still wasn’t a sure thing. You’d basically have to have the entire team in on it to be a sure thing.

I read stories where guys bet tons and the one or two key players they bought did their best to shave points, but somehow they covered.

Basically missing shots and fouling out
JJ, I got one for you. Think about this one:

*The mobsters love to have Pro players gambling into them:
1) Sure to be losing bettors.
2) If a guy ever runs up a figure, they know they have him on the hook.

Think about some of those Northeast Running Backs who fumble at inopportune times. Think that was all random?

Some percentage of the time, those guys were TOLD that you owe us a favor. You have to make good on your debt.

The Ariz St games were an interesting test case:

*Hedake Smith had some huge offensive games. But he didn't guard anyone on defense.

A few of the Ariz St games were ATS losses, but barely. As you say, easier said than done.

If I had inside info on a game being thrown, I'd probably bump up my play a little but not bet the house. Too many variables come into play and hell, I could be the one being played.

that a hard question, i guess it all depends on who the payer was, and like i said last week, i dont like circle games and 99% i stay around, the books know the player out too and they have made the line to it too
