Title: NBA Rocked With Gambling Scandal
Post by: Silver Charm on October 23, 2025, 06:06:28 AM
There are Links all over the place. ESPN.com. Terry Rozier and Chauncey Billips are the 1st to he charged. Press Conference today at 10AM.

\"NBA commissioner Adam Silver, appearing on \"The Pat McAfee Show\" on Tuesday, said the league has been working with its sportsbook partners to combat attempts at manipulation\".

Horse Racing is NOT EXEMPT. I\'m sure the Commissioner of Racing will be coming forward with a Statement thar in \"Absolutely in NO WAY shape or form do any Owners of Horses, participants of Track Mgmt, whether that be as a Shareholder or in an Advisory capacity, are also particpants in CAW wagering, at these same Tracks and races which they are participating in. Pool manipulation cant happen because horse racing has it under control\".  

Dont hold your breath. There is more ethics and open dislosures in a Multi State Dog Fighting Ring

Some story.  

Interesting how it ties to prop and in game bets, which are so popular after being enabled by all the latest technology. There are so many more chances to do this and at the same time it\'s probably hard to detect with so much volume.

Never betting the over again on player props in the NBA. It is always the under that is manipulated, since it is the easiest.

From what I\'m reading, one of the NBA defendants is charged with disclosing nonpublic information to a bettor regarding an injury to Lebron James.  I\'m curious how significant the nonpublic information would have to be for this to constitute a crime and who would have a duty not to disclose it. In horse racing, I\'m assuming people disclose and bet on nonpublic information all the time.

Player #3 is LeBron James in the indictment. He was injured and was not disclosed to the public and LA was playing Milwaukee. The assistant coach provided that info and also told them to pound Milwaukee before the injury was to be reported,  so they got a better price on Milwaukee. Milwaukee won that game.

The poker scheme is wild.  Marked cards, xray machines,manipulated auto shufflers with integrated optics.

One would think the person after losing 2 million at those games , and the way they were betting would of raised some eye brows.
