Could be the way they play the game different than others... just like Duke.

He is screwed but a good sign that the mechanisms in place to catch these things are working. Perk of legal gambling. Can't imagine how much this stuff happens.

Legal betting makes it much easier to catch, so it's a good thing for sure.

What a wild story, and what a moron. Betting on the under's on your own player props is insane, and not just a one year suspension. Its lifetime ban worthy.

I actually remember betting the overs on his props that game on January 26. He was going from scrub, to getting lots of minutes up to that point, and I had made money on him on the over for a few games in a row. Then he missed basically the entire game with an injury - who knows if it was even an injury.

NBA small money what the hell parlary

Cleveland -11
Brandon Miller Under 17.5 pts
Wizards +12.5

Miller has 10 at the half

 

[jncuse]

Its going back to the Rob Babcock era and the back half of the Bryan Colangelo era for the Raptors.

What an embarrassing time to be a fan.
We had a nice run from about 2014-2022 as a well respected franchise.

Has to be lifetime.

 

[jncuse]

Has to be lifetime.

Also wonder if there could be criminal implications.

It's no different than point shaving where I believe some players did time - although I wonder if the crime was being involved with the conspiracy.

Hmmmm... crazy stock option plays as well in the past (seems like this would be from 2021 given the Jersey).

Seems like a guy that likes to gamble and probably dug himself a hole.

You can't possibly get that much money down on Jontay Porter player props to make it worth it

You would think its nor a major concern for an NBA player with a healthy living.

But this guy was a league minimum guy (out of the league for 3 years), who was just recently called up, and clearly had a gambler personality just based on his stock interview from a few years back. Not surprised if he had some losses to cover -- or perhaps was part of some online investors group.

The fact that there were a number of bets that went down, makes me concerned that he was telling others to bet as well.

Current DraftKing odds on the Johntay Porter suspension

-180 : Lifetime Ban
+150: Multiple Year Suspension
+200: Lifetime Ban (with conditions for return)
+650 - One year suspension
+700 - No suspension
+1000 - Suspension less than one year

So question on legal betting in the US.

Say you have a "DraftKings" or "Bet365" account, can you use that platform anywhere in the US, or in any state where it is legal.

The reason I ask is that I can only use my betting account in Ontario (and you have to install geo-trackers). If I am not in Ontario, I can't place any bets. Bet365 had to set up a separate platform in Ontario -- we all got "booted" and paid out from the main platform, and then had to sign up again in Bet365 Ontario on transition day,

Just in any state it’s legal and the platform is accepted in the state. For example, the Vegas stronghold has kept DK and Fanduel out of Nevada, so if you use DK in NY, you can’t go to Vegas and use it even though it’s obvious legal there. They want you to use their casinos apps.

Good story on it from ESPN:

Why DraftKings and FanDuel are in a stalemate with Las Vegas

While sports betting continues to captivate Americans, two of the mobile betting giants have yet to operate in the state hosting Super Bowl LVIII.

Just in case people didn’t know, that’s Michael Porter’s brother.

Lakers beat Indiana by five last night, shooting 43 free throws to the Pacers’ 16.

 

[Fireball Jr.]

Lakers at Milwaukee sans LeBron, go down double digits early, down 19 with about 7 minutes left, Reaves, Davis, Russell lead LA to double OT win. Now this, ladies and germs, is March Madness.

Bucks have a problem. Freak doesn't want the ball at end of games, and Dame gets hunted. His D is bad.

Yeah now feels like Dame was hiding in Portland the last couple of years and no one realized he was falling off this bad.

Watched Dallas/Sac last night. Luka was ridiculous. He was basically moving in slow motion and still could get any shot he wanted. I think they might be a dangerous playoff team as far as winning a series or two, not sure about the whole thing.

Kings, on other hand, Sabonis still can't hit that mid range shot with consistently that lost them the Warriors series. I think MAYBE they win a play-in spot but I could easily see them lose to Suns and Lakers/Warriors and be out.

Easy to forget that Luka's still only 25. I keep waiting for the dude to figure out how to get in shape and go to another level.

He says the same thing about you.

I just got stuffed in a locker.
