See, when I hear 5th/3rd, and especially when I see it written like that, I always think of it as a fraction: And of course that simplifies to 0.2/0.33333.... which equals 0.6. So a Fifth-Third is actually only 60% effort. 2 Quote

He said "Why are you watching that, they already know who's going to win. It's all fixed." I just told him he was crazy...but if he were still around to see all of this legal gambling? Wow, there would be no convincing him that it isn't all rigged. He looked at all of sports like we look at big time wrestling. Entertaining but all fake. Im not sure how someone could think that the players, executives, owners, umpires could all keep a secret that it's rigged. No one decided to spill the beans? Quote

Oh, I agreed then and I agree now. But with legal gambling, a lot of people will call it all fixed. Against all logic, it just proves that many people aren't that bright. Or that many people are that cynical. Quote

But that's the problem with legal gambling in sports. If there is any doubt about whether games are fixed, there are going to people who believe it is fixed and the more they make gambling an accepted part of the sport the larger this group is going to become. So, then even if there is nothing being fixed, the game starts to lose credibilty. This is why there should not be a partnership between MLB and gambling organizations.  2 Quote
