A ref who bets on games but says he didn't effect their outcome; no one believes that. All he really did was verify something we thought already. So the guy is a cheat and why should anyone believe him except what he's already pled guilty too.

I realize I'm jumping to conclusions but who did the publishers think was behind Donaghy?
He's an NBA ref throwing games.
Let's see... who stands to gain from something like that?
