What are your thoughts on sports betting?
It should be outlawed.
We are talking billions
*If you're an athlete, betting on the sport that you're an active member of... you're steppin' over 🇺🇸 DoLLas to pickup some monopoly money.* 💰💸
🤦🏽♂️
Leagues got in bed with gambling WHAT COULD GO WRONG!
Hey here's an idea just don't bet if you think the games are rigged
So you believe if the NBA wasn’t involved with gambling promotion this wouldn’t have happened? Interesting.
This has nothing to do with leagues “getting in bed” with “gambling”. This has been going for decades. The NBA has knowingly influenced refs as well
@t7k hey genius we would be morons to watch sports if it's all rigged, wouldn't we?
@ChrisSuswal-de9tj people watch pro wrestling, don't they genius. Plus I don't think it's rigged so it doesn't really apply does it.
I love how the shows that are sponsored by gambling sites, keep telling people gambling will not be a real problem... it will be, just wait and see.
Really good stuff from NIck. Love his honesty.
It's not about the money making sense. It's about the possibility of an entity having leverage on a player. Also, addictions are not about logic or math. An athlete who has a problem isn't concerned about logic.
Exactly, players wouldn't get suspended for gambling if we're thinking 'logically'
as nba player and u have an entity having that control over u means u really fkd up
This is a great point. Nick is treating all the players as logical actors when they can easily be corrupted by addiction or 3rd parties
Organized crime can and definitely has had their teeth in this before and they can easily use manpower to get around single bettor maximums on small prop bets
That’s the worst case scenario. And that can happen with players who don’t intend to bet on or manipulate their own sports. If they get down bad with the wrong person bad things can happen.
Its not even that illogical for a fringe player to try and make his money while he can lol. This Porter dude saw an opportunity for quick cash and he took it, I highly doubt he is the only one
Michael Porter's brother, Jontay "Fredo" Porter
Jontay Porter's over under isn't up on Draft kings if he's not starting or expected to play significant minutes. They don't just put up anyone on the team.
I think Nick bets with integrity. However he forgets there’s illegal books like whomever Shohei/interpreter was using to rack up $4.5 million in debt. I imagine there’s some mega books out there
Everyone can see he did some side betting on his self and its plain and simple
Talk about how prizepicks had SGA taco 25.5 and he scored 24…
this happens DAILY
If you prefer gambling to the game itself, you are either an addict or financed by gambling industry.
remove unders in props. simple solution
It wouldn’t be a fantasy sport anymore and more states would ban apps like prizepicks, underdog etc
More importantly don't allow correlated parlay legs. That didn't used to be allowed and I was shocked that it is now. A corelated parlay leg is when the likelihood of more than one - or in this case all- of the legs hitting increases or decreases along with the likelihood of any individual leg hitting. For instance, back in the old brick-and-mortar days when I did parlays I couldn't walk up to the window and say I want to place a 3 leg parlay on a full-game Under, a same-game Half-game Under, and the leading scorer in that game going Under. Obviously if one happens all 3 are more likely to happen than not so you are risking only single-event money but stand to win multiplied parlay odds if it hits. I don't even think this is fraud. I think a big-baller sharp or a group of sharps perceived a slight advantage on the Under on this player and since the legs were all corelated the bettors were more than willing to risk losing 20K on what amounts to single-event risk for 1.2 million payoff from multi-event parlay odds. I would be interested to know if they employed this angle with any other players. Even if they had lost, they still should have come back and doubled down with this strategy another 10 times. Lose 200K to win a million? I'll make that exchange any day. The books got greedy and sloppy by allowing same-game correlated parlays and paid the price for it. Believe me, they make so much money with these sucker-bet parlays there is no need to feel sorry for the books. They made a calculation, took a risk, and some sharp bettors called their BS.
How about multiple people of 50k.
Speak on the Lebalco accusations..
lmao you know he wont touch that
Who is that?
@chasingfelix3609 that's the PED's (BALCO) Lebron is accused of taking..
did elijah johnson throw ku-michigan game?
I swear the wizards are prime example they literally give a team a run for their money. Those players know the spreads
HEY MON, #SPORTS
Vulgaris is the reason you cant bet more 50k on mba games any more... Near impossible to get a big NBA betting account in Asia cos Bob and his friends won all the money.
Update: Lifetime Ban
We created this problem.
Adam Silver did
This has been a problem for decades, we just didn't learn about it when it was all done through illegal bookies.
Not a fan of Nick projecting that he has integrity because he only shows game lines and doesn’t show player props. Gambling is gambling, you can’t have it both ways. Either don’t mention gambling or own it. You’re no different than someone highlighting a player prop.
I appreciate Nick.
bro cut that hair bruh hahaha
It doesnt make sense money wise, but we've seen time and time dudes be throwing away millions for thousands.
This player is not getting paid millions in salary. His salary is $400k and he could have easily got cut and never play in the NBA again
Lets ask maverick carter like the feds asked him 😮
Playing for the Raptors this year might make anyone think they don't have a future in this league.
Great Take Nick
Wrong
Two words for you @WhatsWrightShow - Michael Jordan.
He gambled when he had the highest salary in the sport. Gambling is not for these athletes just about making more money.
If you guys are into golf you know how much money the PGA/ LIV guys make. They are loaded with $, esp at the top. Outside of Tiger who is easily the #1 earner in this history of the sport, Phil Mickelson has to be number 2. Phil Mickelson is a sports gambling addict who is in debt for millions in losses. Yes, if you and I win the lottery we probably wouldn't feel any need to gamble anymore I guess, but that's not everybody. And that also doesn't pertain to athletes. Just because if you had the chance to live your dream and play in the NBA you would never shave points doesn't mean the people actually talented enough to play in the NBA don't shave points. You only know yourself, and even that gets dicey. You don't know the intentions and mindset of strangers. Don't assume they're like you
lets be honest we are just watching the books collect every dollar. players are the only ones who can do something about it. go jontay 😂
My dad doesnt watch any sports but when the warriors lost to cavs in 2016, he said its probably some big bookie gambling entity that made that happen. You dont come back against a 73-9 team down 3-1. But who knows maybe its for the ratings?😅
