How widespread do you think the NBA betting scandal is?

Question

Tim Donaghy is reportedly about to drop the dime on several other referees, players and even coaches.
Thing is, I can't help but think this thing could even spread to other sports.
What do y'all think?

Answer 1

It might be a bunch of referees but I kno I'm not the only one not shocked that some of the league games were being fixed. Some of that crap had to be! It may be only a few people but every ref has eyes on him or her now so we'll see how Stern plays this one out know that he knows for sure his officials aren't just shitty, they're dirty too.

Answer 2

Media and NBA answer will be very little. They do not want
to spoil the gains.
In reality and money involved is too big and as humans we all
take risks. Of all the humans involved, the refs are the lowest
paid with little perks. The odds and betting lines are too much of a distraction, making such refs and low paid officials
to get involved. The admins also have to show profits, but
when they below there is always a risk involved in such
scams and you call it what ever you want.....betting always try
to take over the sport.
Will it be publicly advertised....I would say NO....the real truth
will never be revealed as it could lead to many more
problems.
Just look at the soccer games in Italy and Cricket few years
back....Punters are always around and would take risks.

Answer 3

widespread nba betting scandal

Answer 4

there will always be gambling no matter who it is. there are a few out there but not many. there arent alot of refs who would risk their family and get involved in the mob. so probably 1 or 2 refs in each sport.

Answer 5

We never know. It happens to every game once in a while. But there should not be too many involved.

Answer 6

it aint gonna go to different sports cuz its only in those rare few people who disrespect the games they officiate.

Answer 7
