NBA gambling investigation

[Screwball]

Not quite the same kind of gambling violation, but troubling just the same. From a few days ago (now college basketball);

6 former men’s basketball student-athletes committed NCAA violations involving betting-related game manipulation

I imagine the NBA will adopt a lot of this.

one of lebron's buddies is the focus of the investigation.  only makes sense they'd be looking at the lakers' documents.

From that article

Quote

There were other teams mentioned in the federal charges for illegal betting activity around their games, including the Orlando Magic. According to the government, a “regularly starting player” for the Magic told a gambler that the team planned to “tank,” or sit its starters, in an April 2023 game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The gambler allegedly sold the information to other known bettors to place bets against the Magic.

The Magic have not been contacted by the Department of Justice, a league source said, but the unnamed Orlando player named in the indictment is no longer on the team. The Magic’s statement, released when those sweeping charges were filed in October, said the player mentioned was believed to be out of the organization, and the NBA approved the team’s statement prior to its release, league sources said.

That is a poplar guess.  Fultz is another, and I guess Bol Bol started 30ish games for them that year.  So probably one of those three.

A few bad apples always have to ruin for everyone else. The occasional $5 prop bet on a lower tier player just for fun is really the only time I open my betting app.

No NBA games mentioned.

eastern michigan named.  depaul too.  no big schools or name players.

Easier to just send your signed confession directly to the FBI.

I doubt $400k is bet on all MAC games combined in a single night.

Man gets 2-year prison sentence for role in NBA betting scandal

Quote

Timothy McCormack, a self-proclaimed gambling addict, received a two-year prison sentence Wednesday as he became the first defendant to be sentenced for his role in a sweeping conspiracy involving NBA players Terry Rozier and Jontay Porter.

A federal judge in Brooklyn handed down the sentence to McCormack, who defrauded sports betting platforms by using nonpublic information to place highly profitable wagers tied to the performance of NBA players allegedly in on the scheme.
