because Vegas rigs the games in their favor and they obviously have to be right.

They just base the best odds on who would win

Actually, not so much. Vegas bases it on what they think will create the most action. Who they think will win has a little to do with it because they are ultimately in business to make a lot of money. However, lines are set to create action. That's why you often see lines change even though there has been no appreciable change in rosters (like and injury or sudden trade).

Maybe on Individual games but when they are setting the championship team odds that they have to pay out 5000-1 they make damn sure they get it right or as close to possible

Even with the championship odds, it's more about what will create action. Having the Cavs as favorites guarantees action from, not only Cavs fans, but Spurs fans, Bulls fans, OKC fans, etc. Basically, fans of any team that thinks they can beat the Cavs and gamblers who think someone besides the Cavs will win.

I remember quite a few years where they were #1 in Vegas to win it all.

How has that worked out so far?

Pretty good....He won the last 2 out of 4 championships over the last 4 years

Last I checked, those titles were with the Heat. not the Cavs. How many times have the Cavs won a title where LeBron was in Cleveland and they were the favorites?

I'll wait.

He also lost 3 of the last 5.

Making 5 straight finals is impressive. Going 2-3 in them.....Not so much.

He shoots loads at his Bron Bron poster creating him a jism headband
