Joe Gagliano:通过其在亚利桑那州立大学读书的兄弟认识了校园庄家Benny Sillman,并开始进行体育博彩。在1993-94赛季,Benny Sillman提议操纵比赛,目标是让亚利桑那州立大学无法达到点差,从而使下注者获利。Gagliano参与其中,并与Stevan "Headache" Smith合作,后者是亚利桑那州立大学篮球队的明星球员,欠下大量赌债。他们选择在赛季末尾的两场无关紧要的比赛进行操纵,Gagliano在多个赌场和体育博彩网站下注超过一百万美元。最终操纵计划成功,但消息泄露,导致点差大幅下降,最后一战以失败告终。 Stevan Headache Smith:作为亚利桑那州立大学篮球队的明星球员,Stevan "Headache" Smith因赌债而同意与Joe Gagliano和Benny Sillman合作操纵比赛。他故意失误,以较小的优势获胜,从而避免达到点差。他获得了巨额报酬,但最终因参与操纵比赛而被捕并认罪。 Tim Donaghy:Tim Donaghy是NBA裁判,利用其在NBA的内部信息进行赌博,并向朋友提供获胜信息。他利用对球员、教练、裁判和球队之间关系的了解以及对伤病和联盟指令的了解来预测比赛结果。他的预测准确率极高,但他知道自己的行为是错误的。他的赌博行为是一种成瘾,严重影响了他的生活和家庭。他最终被有组织犯罪集团成员威胁,要求他提供比赛信息,并被判刑。
