According to Donaghy (and I'm not saying I believe him or don't believe him), they used to have this bet in the NBA to see who tipped the clubbies. And Donaghy said some ridiculous fouls were ignored just to win these bets.

What's the perception of the general public if this comes out? As a WH, I avoid stuff like this. In the end, we disbanded our KC / fine structure because it became meaningless. We'd be fining each other for things that had no real value and in the end, we ended up drinking and eating the money gathered anyway.
