Report: Jontay Porter probed for betting irregularities | Dan Patrick Show | NBC Sports / nbcsports

[@Jack-jx6ln]

Pandora's box is open. There's probably an ongoing scandal that we don't know about yet.

[@grindn10101]

Ive been watching sports for 40 years an im telling u this is happening now in the nba almost on a nightly basis

[@KNByam]

We all know that. More so with guys with not much to lose.

[@joeng4057]

Not just Nba

[@alexshirley6096]

I bet Most people didn’t even know who jontay porter was until this scandal

[@archie15900]

I'm a Raptors fan somewhat (haven't been watching much this year but follow them) and didn't even know he was on the team.

[@wiltedfour]

The head athletic trainer of the team leaked the information to handicappers

[@robertheadley3483]

Leaked what? That a guy wasn't 100% but was still gonna play but get reinjured a couple minutes into the game?

[@dantrav1927]

@@robertheadley3483 no, take the under, fool

[@stevensullivan1664]

If the betting site allows you to parlay multiple prop bets it could range in upwards of 50/1 depending on the limits. This is the real reason for the NIL in college not because they want to pay the kids, it's because they don't want them to get propositions to rig games or worse.

[@noah.conley]

What Calvin did and jontay are totally different… Calvin bet on college football game he had no control over… jontay was existing games early and manipulating his stats for profit this deserves a life ban

[@tacotom3492]

Calvin Ridley did indeed bet on NFL games while injured including parlays and props that were only totaling a few grand max .

[@JovicaMilutinovic]

Bookmakers have become a real black market and will destroy the sport completely. Why would an NBA league defend the bookies and not protect the players. Every show on TV or YT related to the NBA league is sponsored by Draft Kings and everyone ran to defend the bookmaker as soon as possible. I thought this world was screwed up enough but there is always room for more.

[@SullyAfgarshe]

Well said Dan. It’s the person who has the most to gain and the team of people around these players that would get caught up in gambling. I think we’ve entered into a chaotic and unpredictable era with every major league and media company not only embracing sports gambling but positioning themselves to make a killing off it…at some point a certain amount of low level players will get caught up in gambling and we’ll undoubtedly see more of this going forward.

[@lewisinnorthcarolina2204]

Just stop prop bets?

[@doubaya2959]

This is just tip of the iceberg. Im sure this his regularly happening to most fringe nba players mostly 2ways or unguaranteed contracts... what happened here is the person who placed the bet (as well as Porter) went too greedy and placed a huge bet.

[@allanknight6905]

They,should have to play the whole game to win bet

[@GothamCityStills]

Wow. That subtle roast of Michael. Dang. 😂😂😂

[@mark11967AD]

All the gambling that has been legalized and the culture and mindset is going to cause some corruption of the game there’s no doubt. Sooner or later some fringe star will become involved in huge paydays for effecting multiple games, important games and possibly even playoff games. It’s only a matter of time. There are so many gambling parlors in my town. And you see so many lower income people throwing what little money they have away. $92 Billion spent on gambling last year. Smh 🤦‍♂️

[@aevi09]

Dan brings up the best point… Is that so much money with bet on on a guy that doesn’t play that much and doesn’t really score that much. So anybody would think that there’s gonna be something going wrong because this guy doesn’t play that much

[@24HeySay]

All major sports, all of which have cozied up to the gamblers and casinos, now need to establish a zero-tolerance policy much like MLB's Rule 21. Lifetime suspensions for ANY game-or-points-or stats fixing will be the deterrent they don't yet have.

[@KNByam]

Yes. Lifetime ban for first offense.

[@chrisatlanta3506]

This seems like a no brainer given the facts. I'm telling ya, gambling will be sports thorn in their side for a long time

[@edubois31]

Adam “Crypt Keeper” Silver will do nothing. He never does.

[@dantrav1927]

Every night every game every sport

[@Dee-uy3tx]

Did he bet because he didn't feel he was getting paid enough???😅😅😅

[@patientzero291]

Should we also check on his brother michael porter jr, if he is a part of this scheme?

[@DavidBagga]

I don’t understand anything to do with gambling, but if all this is true he does in fact ruin his career because of this, it’s Sad. Still wild how these athletes try and get away with this stuff. Why even take the risk and get involved with gambling while you’re playing pro sports? Dumb all around 🙈

[@stevenrunyon170]

I have been probed before its not fun.

[@gsp3428]

4 year ban.

[@JS-lc4kg]

players have a shot to get these books out of here for good. cancer to the sport and the world.

[@patrickmoylan5983]

Nothing will happen

[@315giants]

THE real problem is are the refs doing anything and if i had to put money on it id bet a big YES that one or more of the refs have put money down and have made calls to make sure a game goes a certain way

[@okey7118]

Is not like say.. oh Shoehei Ohtani has a bookie right? 😂😂😂😂 cmon Dan , call it both ways

[@SP.007]

I still don't think he did anything. He's known to be injury prone, and The sites set the props. Why wouldn't high rollers, take the chance?

[@bradleywalker8642]

Nobody would risk that much money on a random prop bet unless they had "insider information".

[@SP.007]

@@bradleywalker8642 why are the sites even offering it? Just becasue he's starting, on a 2-way contract, With a known injury history. If someone has big money to bet, and they research that this guy has a injury history, it might seem like a worthwhile gamble for them. I'm just saying
