It would be a little harder to control, but it wouldn't surprise me.

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.

Dear betting companies. I didn't have insider information when I bet on Skyy Moore having less than 20 receiving yards. I won my money fairly on the basis that he's dogshit.
