What happens if both teams are throwing the game?

Reminds me of the South Park episode where the baseball teams were all trying to lose so they didn’t have to keep playing during the summer

We’d still lose!

You mean like Arkansas throwing the football game when Arnett was our coach? I've never seen a good QB play so bad to help a fellow SEC team win a game.

How bout Arkansas gifting us a game winning drive this year, along with 200 penalty yards. I didn’t think either team was gonna win.

See this is why I think gambling is such a bigger problem in America than in other countries. Basketball and football games are so much easier to throw than soccer. It’s going to get to a point where the integrity of every game is going to be questioned.

I don’t know, but this weirdly explains so much about the grind that is watching college basketball lately

The opportunities to bet on sports has gotten completely out of hand and I don’t see how it gets brought back under control. I can see win/lose, over under, and even point spread, but when you can bet on individual statistics then how do you keep that “honest”?

It's insane. I know in a lot the tennis betting scandals, the bet is almost always something like will player x double fault on the third point of his first service game in the second set. And it's always players you've never heard of because it's a lot easier to get #745 to take some money for something like this than a player with something to lose.
