Now my question is… do you guys think that really stopped? Or is it just happening in a quieter way today? Sports betting is way bigger now, and with live betting, props, and even crypto sportsbooks, there’s even more money floating around.
Sometimes you watch a team blow a big lead out of nowhere, or some dude just missing free throws he normally sinks easy… makes you wonder if that’s just one of those bad nights or maybe there’s something fishy, like shaving points. Idk, maybe I’m just being paranoid, but feels like it never really stopped, just harder to catch now.
It may still happen, but it's in minor leagues that are rarely covered by the media so point deductions or other forms of cheating are still practiced, but it's possible that it's done in a quiet manner as you suggest.
This has become a mess that should be easy to resolve but instead has failed, leading to lost bets due to player errors that, in my view, seem orchestrated however, we can only speculate as we have no way of knowing whether an investigation will be conducted or not.
