Shav­ing Points and Integrity of NCAA Foot­ball Betting

NCAA foot­ball bet­ting has been researched recently and it has been found the play­ers have been accused of point shav­ing and of course, that is a big no-no. For those of you who don’t know, point shav­ing is when a player con­trols the amount of points in a game to ben­e­fit an anony­mous gam­bler. In return, the anony­mous gam­bler gives the player a cut of the win­nings. It’s a very dis­hon­or­able act by the player and the gam­bler and is frowned upon by all sports pro­grams, from col­lege to the pros.

Most of these schemes are sniffed out by Las Vegas spread mak­ers and bet tak­ers. When overly large bets involv­ing unim­por­tant games start to be preva­lent, it will raise an eye­brow or two. NCAA foot­ball bet­ting is sup­posed to be fun and point shavers take the integrity away from the game, the fans, and them­selves. It is a shame­ful act and is usu­ally pun­ished accordingly.

In a recent report on NCAA foot­ball bet­ting, fed­eral author­i­ties charged a Uni­ver­sity of Toledo foot­ball player in con­nec­tion with a point shav­ing scheme. Scooter McDougle, a Toledo foot­ball player, recruited play­ers to take part in a scheme orches­trated by a Ster­ling Heights man only known as “Gary”, in accor­dance to a com­plaint filed in United States dis­trict court. Gary allegedly offered ten thou­sand dol­lars to one player if he agreed to sit out a foot­ball game, as well as pro­vid­ing other play­ers with gro­ceries, cash, mer­chan­dise, and other gifts, said the complaint.

The charge car­ries a sen­tence of up to five years in prison and a 250,000-dollar fine if he is con­victed. McDougle claims he accepted a car and other items of value but insisted that he never altered his per­for­mance on the field. The Detroit Free Press reported that there were no indi­ca­tions that any of the play­ers threw any of their games dur­ing the season.

The way this “Gary” could have ben­e­fited from this is if the play­ers slowed the pace of the game down, he could bet the unders, insur­ing a win every time. They say that cheaters never pros­per and this inci­dent proved to be no dif­fer­ent. Renowned Sport­book Linesmaker.com frowns upon the act of shav­ing points in NCAA foot­ball and is well known for it’s integrity through­out the industry.
