NBA ref Tim Donaghy was called a "rouge criminal" by his boss David
Stern.

Unfortunately for Canada, Tim Donaghy refed suspicious badly-called
close losses in BOTH the Suns post-season upset of "Captain Canada"
Nash AND our Raptors' play-off series. Tell us what you REALLY think
commish.

Over the last two seasons (reportedly the focus of the FBI's
investigation into this matter), the games refereed by Tim Donaghy
scored more points than Las Vegas expected over 57 percent of the
time (79 of 138 games). The odds of that happening randomly are 19 to
1.


Premise #1: The more fouls a referee calls, the more he affects the
game.


Premise #2: There is an absolute correlation between the number of
fouls a referee calls in an NBA game and the number of points scored
by the teams. (The logic being that fouls result in free throws,
which stop the clock and add points).


Conclusion: An NBA ref who intended to illicitly influence a game
would do so by calling more fouls, and thus his games would be higher
scoring than average.


Not only have Tim Donaghy's games the last two seasons been higher
scoring than average, they have been so to a degree that would happen
naturally only quite rarely. Which means it can be stated fairly that
Tim Donaghy's on-court behavior the last two seasons has an over 95%
probability of being abnormal!


Maybe Tim Donaghy has always called lots of fouls, some may suggest.
In the two years prior to the two years the FBI is investigating, Tim
Donaghy's games scored more points than Las Vegas expected only 44%
of the time!

Over/Under Bettors a Perfect 6-0

How common is game-fixing? During the 2006-07 season, there were 6
games refereed by Tim Donaghy in which big "over/under" betting moved
the Las Vegas line by more than 3 points . . . the big money gamblers
won all 6 of those games.

99% of the money bet goes illegal & "offshore". Don't even bother
looking at vegas numbers...Vegas stats are just the tip of the
iceburg! (Who's Betting What?) Over $10 Billion Dollars is bet on
the NBA per Month!

ESPN.com, Canada's TSN and the Associated Press have all consulted
with "pregame.com" about the scandal. It is a web page all about
SPORTS betting statistics.

Gamblers Won 15 Straight Times:

The first 15 games of the 2006-07 refereed by Tim Donaghy that had
big enough betting to move the point spread by at least 1.5 points
were PERFECT against Las Vegas – meaning that the big money gamblers
won a 15 of 15 times on his games. The odds of that happening
randomly are 32,768 to 1.

NBA's "Betting Ref" GAME FIXING Scandal: 15-0 + 6-0 win streaks for
bettors on this ref's games...unbelievably suspect....it is proof
positive! The question is, " What did the NBA know, and WHEN did
they know it???"
