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.

Well I have said to many times that games can be fixed for real but I thought that rarely this to happen in big known competitions like NFL. Mainly they are fixed in real low divisions , division 5 and below of a championship in soccer for example.
The problem is though like one of the greatest legends of sports have said but I don't remember correctly who it was:

"Sport and challenge ended when betting come and messed with it"

Well I do understand what you are getting at.
But I am sure their coach who is calling the shots of what play they run must have someone on the sides looking at the current odds in vegas to see if it is costing them alot.
They get paid off by vegas off the books if they have a game's score reach a certain amount I bet. Cheesy
