    that shit is sooooo easy to do. if I’m not mistaken, the Guardians pitchers who were suspended were involved in “next pitch - ball? strike?” type prop bets. I don’t see the “benefit” in any sports betting but, geez, couldn’t they at least limit it to point spreads and over/unders?

    oh, look - there’s a draft kings gimmick type bet ad after Minny just kicked a FG on TNF.

    NBA must be good at taking down youtube videos, but there is a cut-up of Rozier playing against OKC obviously throwing the game.  No doubt this is going in all sports leagues, especially college sports.  Here is a link to a short


    ESPN was doing coverage on the scandal ... with the ESPNbet ad on the ticker ... someone in production must have done the math and removed the entire ticker several minutes into the discussion.  :D:smile:

    Party On, Dudes!

    I've mentioned the throwing games thing before.  There are players that called out others because they knew.

    Up in smoke podcast has got to have some good stories on this.

    Speaking of OKC, while the indictments were being made public, The Thunder were at a hearing with lawmakers trying to secure 0.25% of sports betting in the state if it goes legal.

    It is quite comical how much every sport pushes their betting platforms and the entities that seem to allow more and more of them to be out there.

    The whole sports card industry is gambling now.  Zero collecting.

    Rozier signed a four-year $96.3 million contract with Charlotte on Aug. 24, 2021,

    Ninety-Six Million Dollars!!! Unbelievable.

    The player props are dumb. those just beg for corruption.

    Someone ask Chauncey Billups where I can get some of those contact lenses that can read the cards?  It would make a great movie the stories of the poker games.  I did see where a pro poker player on a podcase called out the Billups poker games 2 years ago that they were rigged.

    Should we just give Wembayama the MVP trophy now? Dude has been on fire to start the season. Barring any injuries he probably will win it.

    I don’t like sports betting at all. That said, if you’re gonna have player prop bets, make the OVER the only thing you can bet on.

    This is why I hate today’s NBA.  And there are people on X who claim this is not a walk based on gather steps.  Whoever came up with the notion of gather steps should be shot in the public square

    That's a travel man...  F that.

    Well to be fair every crossover is a carry now.  It's lazy ball handling now.

    It’s nice to see a team building around him… Castle  being ROY , with Wemby previous year… Dylan Harper already looks very promising. Vessell very good player, Fox still hasn’t played yet and they are 4-0.

    they can start making some noise and knocking on the door gently.. prob another pc and a year away from going deep in playoffs 

    he put on weight… and looks to be taking less 3s which will make him more efficient …

    Great article on Wemby's summer.

    He spent time w/Olajuwon, and developed HIS OWN DREAM SHAKE.

    Hakeem's was unstoppable. I can't imagine seeing it at 7'4".

    So many centers did workouts w Dream and became even better Centers.  I'm shocked Wemby knows who he even is, lol.,
