So does Vegas take the officials into account

Vegas takes everything into account. Everything that could cost them money, at least.

Yes. More so in baseball though, as certain umps are known to have small/large strike zones.

If you are a serious gambler you look at who is behind the plate or on the court in NBA games while handicapping.

That's what got that former NBA ref in trouble. He didn't bet on his own games (supposedly), he just new the tendencies of the refs calling the games and how they felt about certain players.

Kind of interesting, actually.

That would be a hell of a retirement gig for a ref. Go be a consultant for a bookmaker and rake in the dough.

Yea Tim D. did some time in prison. The NBA is corrupt as ****.
