Does the mob fix games?

[Momo]

I've been thinking about for a while cause lately NBA refs are terrible, just terrible. Calling fouls when there's no contact, giving technical fouls for no reason. They are either soft or corrupted. Like I'd understand if only a ref or two do that but almost every single refs doing it. I'm just tired of seeing those fuckers calling for every damn position. Does the mob have hands on it? or they are just terrible?

This was fairly recent!

I highly doubt that any NBA refs are mobbed up, but the refs this year have been absolutely atrocious

I wouldn’t be shocked if they were able to fix low level Division 1 college hoops here in Jersey and NY, wouldn’t surprise me one bit.

I think there was a case recently where some Colombo 20 yr old wannabes tried to fix a game but it went no where

The Donaghy scandal involved some loosely connected guys to the Gambinos, if I remember right. The recent Amato case with the Colombos involved attempting to fix NCAA basketball games. The Luccheses were involved in fixing NCAA basketball games in the 1970s (Hill wrote about it in his book).

In short, it's not unheard of but it's rare.

Yep.


People connected to the Genovese family were busted back in 2005 for doping horses to influence the outcome of races.

The book Wiseguy goes much further into it. In Goodfellas Maury just mentions it before Pesci gets him with the ice pick.

There was also the ESPN 30 for 30 documentary about it. One of the players was a criminal minded piece of shit who more than met Hill and the mobsters half way, but the others were just roped into it with desperation and being broke. Felt bad hearing their stories.

Here's Michael Franzese talking about fixing games. It's something he's brought up several times over the years so I'm inclined to believe he's telling the truth.

Someone should take a look at an NCAA hockey game from a few years ago. The goalie in the championship game for Boston University catches the puck, appears to be confused about where the puck is, and literally drops it in the net. Providence ends up winning the national championship. I think the next year, a couple of players were kicked out of the program for gambling. Something just seemed fishy to that whole thing.
