Deleterious

Hold on. They caught it the day of and pulled him for the rest of the year? That is interesting because that summer he was traded to Miami. I wonder if the Heat knew about this.

Talk about foreshadowing. From his post game press conference last night.

Once again, the money isn't worth the risk. Remember during the Beasley stuff, I said you can't make enough money manipulating prop bets to make it worth the risk. Same thing here. The FBI said the Billups card games made around $7 million. He made $100 million in his playing career. He was set to make $4.7 million this year in Portland. What percent of that $7 million do you think he got? 10% tops? So he risked all this for $700 thousand?

Just piling on at this point.

Here is the interview with Matt Berkey. The interview is from 2 years ago, and he said this was 2019 when it happened. He flat out says the entire game was built around Chauncey Billups. Paul Pierce also sort of gets mentioned. It should start where he is talking about it. But if it doesn't skip to the 27m15s mark.

I'm not shocked at all. Bad players are like chum in the water for poker players.

An NBA team's coach admitted to tanking, and that is only like the 14th most shocking thing announced today.

A bit shocked Billups isn't being charged for this. From the indictment: https://www.cnn.com/sport/live-news/nba-fbi-sports-betting-probe-10-23-25?post-id=cmh3lizth000j3b6n3n6cw5ul Clearly that is Billups. He played from the 1997-98 season to 2013-14.

FanDuel would just claim Damon Jones was arrested first and not payout.

No wonder people want to work from home.

South Park did an episode where Randy fell in love with ChatGPT and shut out other humans.

I bet Joe Cronin (Portland GM) has about 93 missed calls from Becky Hammond.

Billups can't even snitch to get out of it. 3 of the NYC Italian crime families are involved in this. EDIT: 4 families.

Dinwiddie just signed with a team in Germany.

So if I understood what they just said at the press conference. Billups was brining wealthy friends/acquaintances to poker games that he knew were rigged.

Ugh, they said rigged illegal poker games.

2nd round of layoffs in as many months.

That was good.
