NBA's Jontay Porter under investigation for betting irregularities
Is this about to become a thing? Seems like a dangerous precedent where part time role players can affect sporting events in the name of gambling.

I’ll wait until his translator makes a statement before I pass judgement.

Vegas knows every trend, especially when they lose their ass.

You are nuts if you don't think this happens in the NFL too

I would be surprised. The thing is with the NFL, there are much easier ways to win money than intentionally ruining your stats like porter did. You know the game plan going in, so it’s far easier to just text your friend and say “boom/bust WR 2 on our team is going to have a huge day because we saw something on tape” or “we are going to be throwing more than usual so take the over on completions and the under for RB yards”. That way you aren’t betting on the same guy over and over and you naturally are betting people who draw more action, like the star wr or qb. You also don’t have to worry about hurting your own performance and the outcome for the team. The nba is much more chaotic and unpredictable on any given night so you can’t really do this, and thus is much more likely to have someone do something as an individual actor.

You could have always done this. You could sign up for an offshore book, assumed name, no social and made a killing. If they use a regulated site at least we can catch them if they are doing it maliciously. In a much better spot than ever before.
