indigi posted:yeah but it's still the Knicks. they never won anything, but still, as long as they're ~middling MSG is always on full tilt, that fanbase is so loyal and loud and a third l-adjective. but I can't even imagine a rabid Nets fan Eh, I could see someone looking at the Nets and picking them over the Knicks. They're both losers but the Nets on any given season might have better players or have a better record. The Clippers though, who the gently caress would pick them, at least before this streak? It's not like someone could even say that their arena is closer and/or better.

the one thing I'll give the Clippers is I like homeboy's idea for a season pass compared to traditional season tickets. the idea is you can get like three-five people to go in on two season tickets at a lower price, but the tickets can only be used by the people on the pass, so no reselling to visiting fans. he wants to get in younger fans who don't usually have the money for season/partial season tickets, so it lowers the cost of seats on a per-season basis (and if you're sharing seats among a group it lowers the per-game cost as well)and protects the home team from always having more visiting fans for big games. I like it!

it's impressive how quickly we went from virtually no gambling in this country, keeping our collective shame hidden away in LV/AC/reservation casinos, to gambling-sponsored sports media, official league partnerships, and constant advertising on daytime network television while being able to gamble via credit card on your cell phone 24/7. remember this when politicians say that societal change takes a long time

Maybe it would have taken w/o COVID, it would have been a bigger deal for longer probably during the trabsition

Only way it's gonna change at this point is when the inevitable massive match (and statistics) fixing scandal gets uncovered. It's either already happening at scale or developing rn, the profit incentive is way too strong with how loose & non-existent state oversight of the industry is. I just wonder which sport is going to pop first.

TenementFunster posted:NFL has the most interest/money but NBA has so many games that it feels like there is more opportunity there. NBA refs seem more crooked, too. just look at Eric Lewis's "retirement," or even refs having stupid but obvious beefs with specific player (Scott Foster and Chris Paul). those guys were just homers/haters. imagine what they could do with a profit movie The NBA is tailor made for a points shaving scandal. It has the fewest players of any of the major sports, any player can get the ball at any time, and has the most games of any sport short of baseball. The only thing keeping it from happening is that the players who get significant minutes tend to be extremely well compensated (the flip side of the small number of players), so it would likely take something like a guy getting compromised in college then getting drafted and having the screws put to him once he's in the league.

euphronius posted:nba players are rich enough to I think be mostly immune to point shaving I've always wondered how much shady poo poo happens around point spreads with lottery-bound teams in the back half of the season. Those teams always have a at least some guys playing big minutes who aren't making much and who might decide the payout is better than whatever their next contract might be.

It'd have to be a vet at the end of their career, the kind of guy who gets minutes because someone's gotta get them but knows that after their current contract is over, they're gonna have to go overseas because they're on the down slope. Not saying it's a likely thing, but if it was going to happen as a systemic thing, it'd be there. That said, with gambling odds being extremely public, it's hard to see how something big could go unnoticed. Enough weird line movements and folks are gonna start piecing it together. Refs at least get a bit of obfuscation by not reffing the same team 82 games.

Not saying it's a likely thing, but if it was going to happen as a systemic thing, it'd be there. the thing is that we'd only notice lines moving identifiably at sharp books. the type of volume DK, FD, and them are handling, >96% of the action is gonna be from people who don't even know how to follow ref matchups, so the lines won't move noticeably, if at all. if the fixers are even a little patient with how they conduct their business (obvly not a guarantee since it would be run by techbro gamblers) it could be multiple seasons before even the sharp books notice, and if the only people who help them fix games are players who are immediately out of the league it'll be even harder to spot
