Dude gave away an NBA career to make 22k on betting lol. Could have made 22k a day on a league average contract.
Dude wasn't going to last long in the NBA.
@@trevorc8778 you never know dawg.
would've had like a 10 year career putting up 5 points a game for millions still @@trevorc8778
He lost over 54K in bets which means he had a net loss of 32K.
He won a lot more, on bets other people were placing on his unders. And then were being split with him
Imagine working ur whole life 2 get into the league , and then ruining all that to make stupid decisions
His place in the NBA was tenuous at best. This will actually work out for him if he's willing to play overseas because he wouldn't have made much more in the NBA and would have had zero job security
@@Zenigundamyeah people like you who have nothing going for themselves are probably the people he hangs around
He knew his NBA career wasn't going to be long or lucrative so no big loss.
And getting banned for life for a profit of $20.000 is even more crazier
Imagine not opening your intellectually pedestrian take with “Imagine”. 🤔
Bro hit that first bet for $15 with no consequences and never looked back
He bet a fortune on this outcome of the investigation.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Who would have thought legalized sports gambling would be problematic 🤔
Tel that to the nba that has partnered with draftkings...
Did you even listen to what they’re saying he did. Don’t be stupid
Ya it’s true. I didn’t even think it would be this easy. It’s just about as easy to make an account as it is any other website for anything. Just a few confirmations here and there. They also make withdrawals much harder than making the account. This is generally the case for scam cryptos. Plus, none of those that hit big on porters bets were paid out 🤣
When are they gonna ban refs like Scott Foster who has been rigging games forever?
When there is any shred of evidence you goof.
When they start making golden state or the lakers lose games
That's already happened. @@Cw1047
@@jaredgrube6320there was plenty of it during Sterns era but just like Epstein the money protected them from being caught for years
@@jaredgrube6320 the lakers game last night? they had 23 free throws and fouled alvarado because someone fell on him
Porter is the perfect DraftKings sponsor.
Gambling is encouraged & then punished. America is so dumb.
Exactly!
When you directly contribute to the outcome of bets in games you played in, it’s called cheating. It was the fact that he gambled AND manipulated games to win his bets
Players can bet just not on their sport. Seem like a sensible ask
He bet against his own team, he didn’t just gamble, he tried to lose games, complete betrayal of everyone who ever attended or watched a Raptors games while he was with the organization, he’s lucky they don’t make him reimburse every single ticket sold
The name of the game here is to get you in debt and keep you in debt. There's a lot of people making a lot of money off of that
*Ernie Johnson voice* "NBA on TNT........ presented by DRAFT KINGS!"
YOU just can’t be one of the drafted kings and play lol
FUMBLED THE BAG BUTTON
Jontay porter took fred vanvleets “bet on urself” advice too seriously 😭
Bet on yourself and bet against your team too 😭😭
And his brother even defended him publicly... He in trouble when he get home😂
New achievement unlocked:
From Riches to Rags💰🔥🗑️
😂😂
He can play overseas…
If he was a superstar there is no way he was getting a lifetime ban. They gave him a lifetime ban to make it look like they have zero tolerance for this but it was easy to ban a scrub who doesn't actually play in the NBA. Giving him a lifetime ban is the same as giving me a lifetime ban.
Anyone whose name actually has value would get away with a warning or small fine.
@olivermccall7331 Or could go play minor league baseball for a season
If he was a Superstar in todays league it would be foolish to risk gambling away your career when Superstars today sign for no less than 150 mil. So it’s highly unlikely to see a Superstar in this position. Superstars also must have great stats to even become a superstar, so you won’t see them throwing away games. You have to be mediocre or less to take this risk.
It’s just so weird that this is a lifetime ban penalty but yet an actual dangerous act of waving a gun around, threatening people and supporting violence isn’t? That can actually cause harm and kill to all parties involved and the fact that OTHER NBA players had lasers on them in a car is extremely serious. Yet they ban this for life that doesn’t harm anyone. Sucks to be him shouldn’t have done it anyway obviously but man the double standards and world we live in smh. Btw neither should be a life time ban imo but still serious penalties regardless but this should be the less severe by far
Jontay Porter To Shanghai Sharks, Nagoya Diamond Dolphins, Alvark Tokyo And Sunrockers Shibuya
I don't understand how someone can be so stupid... It's mindboggling.
Tip of the " betting" iceberg. This isn't the last dumb decision we'll see.
Make an example of a lesser player in hopes bigger named players won’t do it
Pretty much, if it's Bron he gets off with a $22k fine. Or the league would just hide it.
I’ll correct you, make example of lesser players to fool the public that games aren’t influenced, while bigger names have probably done this for decades not all but I guarantee you there’s been starters and role players involved in this
@@olivoil2002yeah, just like David Stern with MJ in the ‘90s 😅
@@olivoil2002how could u defend a guy betting against his own team, he didn’t just gamble, he betrayed every Raptors fan & quite frankly owes them all ticket reimbursements
Won't be caught *
Cause its scripted so he knows who wins and who loses😂
Yup
More are involved
Exactly
The refs have been involved for several decades, but they are hand-picked and allowed to do what they do in the interests of entertainment sports and Vegas.
@@Zenigundam No they aren't. Whichever refs cheat, you can rest assured it is not league mandated or endorsed.
@@omarholder9036 Plant spotted
Explain the refs in the TCU-Michigan game that put an unworthy team in the national championship game a few years ago. Why does every other NBA game come down to last second heroics? We've seen so many comebacks that are near statistical impossibilities.
@@Zenigundamshut up bot
Bro got caught in 4k
Gambling period is bad but you know owners and investors are all betting on games.
But remember when they made betting legal? How did you not see this coming?
NBA players are the most greedy of them all. Get millions to be the 12th man. They should get banned for betting
@@thesportsguy126 yes they already have money
Get well soon Big fella but the Pelicans are in a world of trouble vs the Kings. Bro got banned over 20K is beyond goofy 🤡
Way more players do this but are smarter
What about the Refs?
This criminal gambling story is proudly brought to you by Draft kings.🙄
I heard Zion put on a bet that a chicken wing would get thrown on court.
Should've had an interpreter to take the wrap.
Wrap? Like a chicken wrap? Ur illiterate. Don't try to sound smart...🐔🤡🤣
Chicken wrap?? 🐔 🤡🫵
If your conspiracy theory was true….
Ohtani was the most disciplined gambling addict ever
We know because the IRS took and tracked Ohtani’s electronic devices as well
Never once contacting the 3 bookies from his own devices
Not even going on bookie websites for a look see on his own devices
Not even to check odds or even see what games are up on his own devices
9600 text messages on his phone with Mizuhara over a 4 year period
Never once talking about the 19000 bets he made through Mizuhara over a 26 month period
From what I am reading they have text messages and IP address on Porter gambling
But I’d like to see the evidence Porter was gambling
like we have with the 37 page criminal complaint and investigation by the IRS with Ohtani’s interpreter Mizuhara
@@annunakian8054 Naw condom wrap like on the condom I used for your mom. 😂
This is pretty ironic. The NBA banning someone for being involved in sports betting....
Maybe look at yourselves.
You are ruining the sport.
Thats what happens when you make gambling legal…
This was happening before they legalized it.
No...he made his bed, he has to lie in it. Blaming legal gambling is a fallacy, when even all sports leagues prohibit their players from betting in the first place.
@@newstarcadefanA lot of NBA players probably gambled before entering the league, they've grown up as fans and betting is so entrenched in sports culture now, even with sponsorships encouraging it.
I wouldn't be surprised if this issue is commonplace and Jontay was just used as an example. There's no way they'd ban a player whose name actually has brand value.
Keep the same energy when a star gets caught betting (Reffs too)
Prop betting means that fringe players are vulnerable to this sort of thing. Superstars earn way too much money to be bribed to throw games, but fringe players? They can't throw games, but can have an effect on the game (ie prop betting). The one good thing is that Gambling sites don't want to lose money, so if there is something fishy with betting they'll be all over it.
Thoughts on how this compares to teams tanking?
He probably not the only one in the league that was doing this
That’s wild! And nothing came outta the Brett Farve situation and the Josh Giddey situation smh
Bro fumbled a multimillion dollar bag over 20k 😂
Meanwhile Giddey somewhere screaming “BECAUSE I LIKE HIGHSCHOOL GIRLS THATS WHY”
giddey is cleared..ITS OVER..get off his ntz...
Giddy is clearned by the NBA .... because there is a settlement. lol "Cleared"
Proven she lied about her age to get into the bar. Giddey naturally assumed she was of age cause she was in the bar. A place where only of age ppl can be
When a girl lies and says she’s 18 while in a adult nightclub she’s just a responsible as she is.
@@NobodyLikesKarensGirl said she was 21+. Plus not everywhere is backwards like America with the age of consent at 18. Most countries have a more reasonable age like 14-16.
This is brought to you by Fan Duel and Draft Kings
for a 23k profit?? what....... how do you lose millions trying to win thousands, it doesn't add up.
There was an $80k parlay bet (by an "associate") , which turned into $1.1m winning ticket. I think the betting site didn't pay it because it was deemed suspicious.
😂
"how do you lose millions trying to win thousands?"....ayyy life of a gambler!
The math ain’t mathing
Because Jontay Porter's long experience of going through life without an actual brain finally caught up to him...
His brother is on the defending champs crazy
Betting on your team to lose is beyond crazy if im any of the raptors its on site wit bro
A lifetime ban on an unknown... really brave, Mr. Silver
What do you mean "he gave someone status on his own health".He doesn't even play he avergaes 3.7 points a game. Nobody cares if he's playing or not...
That info led the better to bet the under on Jontay. He also took himself out of a couple of those games early.
He's not moving any spreads as no one cares if he's in the game or out of the game. They're losing money on him by him drinking water. @@curtisbrown8154
The gambling agency was happy to take the bet until itvwas time to pay up
@@curtisbrown8154They cap the prop bets and they got caught so again he doesn't matter. Anything he does doesn't matter even when it does matter...
There’s fumbling the bag and then there’s setting fire to the bag and chucking it into the rotating blades of a passing combine harvester. What an absolute tool.
The 2024 version of Pete Rose... 😂
Betting your team to lose is what got him the lifetime ban
Between this and the Ohtani situation .... sports has a REAL gambling problem! This may not be the end of it...
Should of just had the homie doing the bets
Like shohei Ohtani in the MLB had his interpreter doing it for him lol everybody knows it was shohei but he's the best player in the world tho they would never ban him for life
If your conspiracy theory was true….
Ohtani was the most disciplined gambling addict ever
We know because the IRS took and tracked Ohtani’s electronic devices as well
Never once contacting the 3 bookies from his own devices
Not even going on bookie websites for a look see on his own devices

How do they find out this kind of stuff?
Someone snitches. They get themselves caught, undercover operations, etc
Baskin Robbins always finds out.
I think the betting houses also suspected unusual activity (since he's a role player) because of the payouts associated with his under/over, and turned over documents to the NBA......
A player who averages 4 ppg receiving multiple bets ranging from $10,000 - $80,000 is very suspicious.
His under props were the highest payouts two days in a row across major gambling platforms💀There’s no reason someone should be making 1M off a bench player getting garbage minutes, in fact they froze the payouts because of that
A dose of reality for people blaming legalized sports betting:
Gambling will always exist - whether or not it is legal. If it's illegal, gamblers will just move to the black market, where this stuff is much harder to catch. For example, sports betting companies actually informed the NBA about suspicious betting activity which sparked this investigation. Given how much data these companies generate, it's a lot easier to identify irregularities and catch guys trying to do this. And it's also in their business interest to catch them, so they will likely continue cooperating with sports leagues.
For people worried that the league won't punish stars that attempt this:
Stars in the major American sports leagues make WAY too much money for this to make any sense from a risk/reward standpoint. The most likely people to try this are players like Jontay - basically fringe players. But after this incident, I feel like even these players are probably not going to attempt this - at least not on any legal platforms.
Now please tell me he didn't do this at Mizzou, we don't need the NCAA up our butts
I don’t understand the nba , miles bridges that even his son said that he was beating his mother is still playing….
Who didn’t see a lifetime ban coming 😂
Adam Silver is such a pansy I honestly never thought I'd see the day
Dam he was in cahoots with Michael porter jr
They make it sound like, I never ever happens. Lol😂
Dang.
Don’t understand a lifetime ban… Ridley from the NFL was sports betting and got suspended for a year
banned for gambling? shoei otani says they can do that? and zion not playing in the most important game of the year? check his betting slips
Bro was trying to hit for that million😂😂😂
this is the reason why sports gambling should be illegal lol
I would not want to be at that next family gathering 😂
Never stop gambling because you are always close to hitting it big
As a laker fan imo i just feel like if Michael Porter jr wants to support his brother during this difficult time he should do that i mean no one would hold it against him if he wanted to step away for a while 😈
😆😂😂🤣🤣 From a Nuggets fan. We know your scared of you "Daddy" lol
Michael Porter’s brother. Is he next?
Why would you bet against your own team tho lol like WHAT
Yes player betting is serious. But how come the NBA or any sports league crackdown on refs/officials betting?
Thats messed up but ai wonder when will they ever investigate Referees for rigging games?
What’s MPJ got to say about this
Get in the league and place bets for your stats to be down for 20k. When he could just work hard, become a starter and make top dollar. Get guaranteed millions over risky thousands.
Kings vs OKC gona be fun to watch!
I pick okc
I'll bet u 22,000!!!😂
A lifetime ban for gambling???? Wow
@@Okae86 how’s that old saying go? Always bet on yourself? 😂😂😂
@@HardyLifestylehe bet against himself lmao. What are you about. He purposely threw games and limited his play time to make money.
@@philip7833 😳😳😳😳 WOW!
IKr?
When did he become a Raptor? I’ve never heard of this guy!
One of the more bizarre athlete wagering stories that received minimal national coverage:
In January 2022, leading Parx Racing jockey Mychel J. Sanchez was suspended a (meager) 60 days by the Pennsylvania Horse Racing Commission for betting against himself in a number of races.
He opened a TVG account in his own name in late December 2021 and started placing bets. Sanchez was allowed to return to the afternoon oval after exiting the sin bin and continues to ride at the track.
From the jockey's attorney -- with a little research, Porter had a ready-made defense on his offensive behavior: "(Sanchez) started betting. Not in any cheating way, just as a way of coping with the pain he was experiencing. He's been feeling low for some time and it's been building up in him."
He isn't the only one. There has to be more , but just haven't been caught. With sports betting there will always be people who cant resist the urge to rig or cheat.
A translator would’ve been an easy scapegoat for Jontay.
Sounds Kinda Fishy to me , wasn't the NBA involved with FBI in throwing Allen Iverson Games.
I feel bad that his brother came out to defend him too if i was Michael im sure me and jontay would be having a good ole "brotherly talk" right now somewheres
Pete rose has reached out to him. Pete a stand up guy,
Hopefully Michael Porter Jr will stay out of trouble. One of his brothers is now banned from the NBA, and another brother killed a woman while driving drunk.
Funny how the bookie accept the 80k bet, when it was time to pay up its a scam.
He had to work hard to make sure he went under his 3.5 total points for a game.
He should have put a bet on how many suspensions will draymond have in one season. He'll be a zillionaire by now
is he banned from being an NBA referee though, or is that a resume highlight?
Given away confidential material. Betting against your team. Sorry, dude, that's what you get. If you didn't bet on His own team and didn't give away information. Then that would have a problem but nope.
Ban them gambling refs also smh! 😒
Biggest bag fumble of all time...he could get a gambling ad at least
So this dude made $21k from gambling and yet the minimum salary in the NBA is 6 figures. So even if he was on the minimum, he was still better off.
Ban MPJ as well. He knows what his brother is doing but decided to keep his mouth shut. If, by any chance, they escape the Lakers, then he can return to play. Let’s go Lakers!
😊😂
Players are getting cut like crazy these days. He took no loss. He would of got waived by next season either way.
It's not like Jontay Porter is a huge loss to the NBA, but hopefully this ban sends a message to any higher-profile players betting on games.
Great decision by the league. You gotta be the biggest dummy in the world to blow such a lifetime of an opportunity in such a manner. Hope he learns his lesson.
“BANG! BANG! OH WHAT A GAMBLE BY PORTER! WITH A CAREER ON THE LINE!”
Now someone, what would Kevin Harlan say?
Bro, just like the longest yard
wow.
Why ban him? He didn’t allow sports betting be legal. This was bound to happen and it’s been happening. What do you have to say about teams winning by 30 then allowing the other team to catch up and lose by five? Should the whole team get banned that’s affective fanduel spreads.
Vegas must be angry someone other than there refs are fixing games...
How did they find out he was betting if it was someone’s account 😮😂
This has to be the dumbest thing you could do to ruin your professional athletic career. The under??? And it was so obvious..
Gambling sites crunch the numbers; if something is out of whack with betting, they'll know instantly something is up.
22,000 and lifetime ban, vs making millions of dollars for several years. I'm soooo confused. It appears that he's a gambling addict
What were the odds he would get a lifetime ban?
A lot
Rigging refs on the other hand?...
his bro is MPJ. he's fine financially lol
