The SCHEME HBO documentary

Maybe this has been discussed before here, but did not show up in a search.

It's pretty good and worth watching.

You should watch the NFLX doc on the Arizona State point shaving.  It’s crazy story and just as good

Truth in most of it, I know the guy that went to jail for it.

The Chicago merc trader? It’s crazy that guy basically kept going all in on games until he lost.  He should have been happy hitting 3-4 games in a row.  The dumbest thing he ever did was put so much money on one game that it moved the line so much the FBI got tipped off.

I was surprised how the Arizona State PG could control games and make sure the team hit the desired spread by the exact point.

Yep that guy, Smith had help, it wasn't just him, although he controlled most of it, has he was the one in deepest.

He didn't go all in though, they spread the bets around to look as if many different casino's were taking action from different persons. The amount totalled on certain games is what set off alarms.

I mean who bets on ASU vs say San Diego State usually? Pac 12 apologists?
