Obvious Observations and Ramifications of the NBA Scandal(s)

[AxelWolf]

Whatever happened to Red's Dan Druff interview? He said yes, I kept asking, and it never happened. I agreed to be a guest as well, and I also said time was of the essence for me to be a guest. Red zigged and zagged, made BS requests and excuses. I.E, it needs to be in person.

Once I told him I was asking people for help, gathering information that he posted and whatnot, he suddenly said I wasn't qualified to interview him. I wasn't trying to interview him; I was just going to be an adversary guest(his words).




I don't care what this, that, or the other person has said; the fact is, it's been a long time, and Red has not made it happen yet. The ball has been in his court to do so, a simple appearance on some kind of show, and he has yet to do so.

What is the deal here? Doing the same damn thing over and over and hoping for a different result? THAT is the cycle we are in with this redietz being interviewed by ANYONE. He claims he wants to be interviewed and will do so anytime, anyplace. BUT he has claimed that for 2-3 years now and guess what? No interview ANYWHERE.

And really what can he say in an interview broadcast wherever, that he can't say right here? If he has something earth shattering to say, that is going to convince everyone that he isn't just a tout and Kim Lee was wrong about everything, why can't redietz just say it here?

All this redietz fella does is talk and drop names, tell us how smart he is, or was 50 years ago and then just like Singer, Turtle, and the other trolls, he lies about people that don't believe him, trying and hoping to discredit them.

Redietz was/is a sports betting tout. Period! That is a guy that sells picks rather than betting and making money off his picks. He can dress it up and call it sports investing or whatever he wants, but he is making money off other bettor that he is selling to, NOT off betting sports like he told us. And all these contests that he tells us about from 40 years ago, through right now 2025, are just a tool of touts. They want to be able to go to perspective suckers and say "see how well I did in xxx contest".

Now if redietz really has something to say, something earth-shattering that is going to change everyone's opinion, he should say it right here. I mean THIS is the place he was exposed (partly his own doing).

Lets stop all this nonsense about podcasts and interviews that are never going to happen. If he wanted them to happen, they would have by now.

And while we are at it, stop all the name dropping Redietz. Nobody cares. And that goes 5 times for this Dennison that nobody know or cares about.

Given what he has said, I think he gave up the Touting stuff a long time ago. From what I understand, he had been recruiting investors to invest in his picks while getting a free roll percentage. IIRC there's some sports seminars or whatever in LV and various other places (A great time and place for recruiting sucker's.)

You know one of those Herbal life type things where they hype everyone up and tell them how much money they can make while giving out a faults narrative. I would compare it to multi level marketing scheme.

He hasn't heard the questions yet.

Do you understand what an interview is?

Anyway, discussions and debates take way too long to develop around here.

It would take weeks for a forum thread to yield as much information as a 30-minute spoken interview.

[coach belly]

a faults narrative.

It's somewhat of a chore, but somebody's got to do it.

investors...sucker's.

How would his investors make money betting football without his advice?

How would he profit via a percentage without providing profitable advice?

When you share plays for a percentage, or put somebody in action on a play for you, how do you make money if the play doesn't win?

Touting vs "investors" who provide a free roll is the same pig, just dressed differently. He isn't making his money off of his picks and sports betting. He is making his money off selling to other sports bettors. And in both cases he needs these contest results (which can be bought) to convince these suckers.

If he was really a successful sports bettor, as he lead us to believe all these years, he wouldn't need "clients" or "investors" or other people's money. It would have been pick games, bet on them, win, repeat, repeat, repeat.

I have no idea if his investors are making money or not. People make bad Investments all the time; sometimes, they make long-term bad Investments.

It's hard enough for someone to make money betting on sports; once you add in the vig, now imagine you have to give up a free roll percentage on top of that.

Yea, I don't think Coach knows what a freeroll is. It is actually not that hard at all to make $$ giving what are in general "losing" picks if you have enough volume. It is still gambling and a negative EV pick can still make money.

It really is an interesting question - what's Redietz'z real financials? I could see many different things being true. He claims his investors read this forum but I've never seen one actually post. <shrug>

Axelwolf has this annoying habit of speculating without information. Most people call this guessing. Now the problem I have with the inimitable swiggin'-and-swingin' Axelwolf is that literally none of his guesses present me in a positive light. Biased guessing is a bad strategy for "AP-ing," one would think.

As an old journalism major, I have a real hard time with someone who is anonymous and who is publicly posting about someone who is not anonymous, getting everything wrong, and blowing it off as IMHO or IIRC bullshit. If this were any kind of actual journalistic site, the IMHO and IIRC stuff would be shut down immediately if it lacked corroboration or quotes.

In the real world, presenting guesses without information as some kind of opinion-worth-advertising will get you sued, laughed at, or killed.

Coach asked the obvious questions anyone with any education would ask. The next question should be, "Do the investors know each other?" Because that question eliminates all the nonsense that Axelwolf would prefer to believe.

I mean, based on his posting, Axelwolf is -- IIRC and IMHO -- LOL, I can't even do it. I take telling the truth too seriously. I take reporting the degree to which I am certain of something seriously. This IIRC and IMHO stuff -- maybe it's a throwaway method of talking when your memory is unreliable or you were really fucked up last night. I can't communicate in those terms and expect people to believe me.

You literally have no idea what you are talking about. LOL.

Do you really think someone who has run something with the moniker "Integrity Sports" for 50 years would do that kind of freeroll stuff? That's hilarious. I bet about three times the average amount of one of my partners.

I guess nobody asked that. Gee, what a tough question to come up with, you know, from a journalistic perspective. Instead, you make shit up. Pretty funny. That's how the APs operate, I guess. Don't ask the obvious. Presume people think like you.

Here's a brilliant idea. Next time I'm in LV, drop by and conduct an interview. Show the world how expert you are.

[QUOTE=redietz;203443]

I'll do an interview with anyone at any time.

Other than that, mickey, you're spot on. As usual.

If you want to interview me in Las Vegas, I'll give you some air miles and fly you down for it. James Dennison, who has some film directing credits, can film it. I'll ask Munchkin to sit in on it, if you like.

I can't be more hospitable than that. I'll even buy you dinner once or twice.

Shoot me an email at integritysports@aol.com, and we can pin down some dates.

If you want me to be there then get Munchkin to commit to being there. Let us know when you get it confirmed that he will be there. Today is oct 31, 2025. I'll check back in in two years to see if you have it confirmed.

So you have run this "integrity sports" for 50 years hun? That would be since you were 18 or 19 right? Run it right out of the dorm room at the Pennsylvania Farmers High School and College did ya?

How are you harping on someone else to explain their timeline when your own timeline is swiss cheese?

You have no power here Turtle. Be gone before someone drops a house (or bridge) on YOU.

Perhaps if you worked harder to create a coherent narrative that didn't contradict itself or defy common sense...

This guy, Jeff Nadu, is recommended for this breakdown of the betting scandal:

[kewlJ]

My guess is these kind of "fixed bets" has been occurring for a while. Especially with the explosion of prop betting. I mean you can bet on any stat for a player, points, rebounds, assists, steals, combinations. So if a player goes under a stat (bet), who is to say he didn't have a bad shooting night and just go under, which he will do about half the time. Pretty hard to prove anything unless it is just so blatant.

And in the case cited, it couldn't have been more blatant. There was like many multiples of the normal money bet on this particular under (player points) and then the player takes himself out of the game with a mysterious injury. Come on you can't be more blatant and stupid than that. It wouldn't have been so blatant, if there wasn't many multitudes of the normal amount of money bet on that particular prop. Always comes back to greed. Always!

And while these are really two VERY different stories with the sports bet fixing and private poker game cheating, I don't think there is anything new about private poker game cheating. I mean I don't play poker, in casinos or privately, so if one of you poker players want to correct me that private poker games are always on the up and up, I will stand corrected.

The only thing of real interest to me about the poker cheating, is the mention that it almost seemed to be common knowledge how easily these shuffle machines could be hacked, which I already knew from personal experience. The second thing somewhat interesting is some of the cheating methods using technology.

KJ is different because (1) I initially believed him, more or less, and (2) he is imo a complete fraud. I don't mean a liar, I mean a complete fraud, like catfish style. And that is not something you see every day and is really kind of fascinating.

Love Ya but I don't know why you even bother replying to these nobodies for years on end to no avail?
I don't see any of your successful pals in here doing that.
Your fun is your fun though.
Let me give you all a tip.
A few weeks ago I bought a 2025 Ford Escape PHEV (plug in) for 31k, cash, out the door.
I dandruffed them down a bit as I pitted 3 dealerships in Vegas against each other.
Anyways, you'll read or watch a lot of car enthusiasts trash this car and Ford itself.
But dey sleeping.
This car has more pop than my Ford Mustang that gets like 14 miles to the gallon.
Over two weeks now and I've literally used a few drops of gas.
The kicker with this car is that you can plug it into any 120V outlet in your house/garage.
When I found that out I kinda had to have it.
This car will pay for itself within 10 to 15 years from gas savings alone as I plan to keep it till it dies.
Time will tell on longevity or breakdown of battery and what not.
I like the basic look on the outside and inside.
Car has a lot of room, a lot.
Electric Mode Only is powerful but when you switch it to Sport (Gas Only) it flies off the starting block.
I don't like Normal Mode where it switches back and forth from gas to electric.
It has some weird feelings when it switches.
It's ok in that mode, I just prefer either EV Only or Gas Only.
Handling is nearly as good as my Mustang.
Eh, it's all about the driver anyways.
I drive my F250 the same way, darting in and out of traffic and I can't believe how good that truck handles.
Anyways, the NHL is back as you all know.
Today we got three decent picks.
You can money line them or Puck Line them.
The money line for Montreal and Washington are pretty decent.
Small Favorites.

Avalanche
Capitals
Canadians

Bet 'Em however you like.
If you puck line all three, it pays a pretty penny.
But even playing them straight or parlaying the Money Line is good enough.
Best of Luck Suckers.
