Did anyone bet on the vikings to win last night during the NFL playoffs?
There was something about the bookies losing alot since the Minnesota team did not score the last point which was easy to do since it was the 1 point kick after the touchdown to have them go over the 6pt spread that the casinos were offering them to win by.

They say that 65% people who had to them to win against the saints won their bets and screwed the sports bookies over.
The Vikings took a knee so was it because they saw the lines and knew that vegas and the casinos had them on winning over 6pts or not?

Sometimes I see sports games as fixed this way where they can score much more points during the game to cover the spread but do this on purpose so to A screw the bettors or B screw over the casinos.

While it was a strange coincidence that the line fell half a point short of the spread, I don't see a problem with how the Vikings handled it.  The Saints didn't even want to throw up a defense on the PAT.  Taking anything but a knee at that point would be unsportsmanlike.
