I got a sports betting ad for this clip.😂

Approved gambling has made the entire league suspect

The NBA actually had proof of concept that Gambling has happened in within their league with Tim Donaghy and still got fully behind sports betting. That still is fundamentally insane to me 🤔🤔🤔🤔

betting is literally ruining the game.

I feel like there shouldn't be props for end of bench guys.

Only the NBA can make money on betting and fix games. Players not allowed.

So the gambling company's lost money so they blame the player and the league 'suspends' him until the investigation is complete. If porter is found innocent he should sue everyone. He's making $415k so why would he risk his basketball career for this?

NBA fans first reaction: “ok, betting scandal, but WHO IS JONTAY PORTER??”

They can make themselves go under easier then they can make themselves go over. Remember that

Now it’s an issue. When the Refs are doing it and everyone else is doing. They should have never allowed Gambling in the game in the first place. It’s gonna be more of these issues happening.

How can the league that covered up the Tim Donaghy story have any credibility around gambling? Look at the referees too.

If people think Tim Donaghy was the only referee involved in game fixing you crazy .

“Someone” put 80k down to win a mill on a parlay on all his unders. RED FLAG 😂

LOL. Just like the sports leagues, ESPN constantly shoves betting in everyone's faces (ESPNBET, anyone?) and now they're wringing their hands about ThE iNtEgRiTy Of ThE SpOrT? GTFO

Porter is helping us eat lol $$$$$$

Stop the refs from betting that’s the problem

People will still say it ain’t rigged I think I’m done with betting

Ohh so starts to hit there pocket now it’s a problem ? I hope this continues and they end up shutting all these bookies down it’s ruining the game

Nothing new. Suspicion has been around since 2002 and the Lakers suspect “win” vs the Kings

What a shock, they start pushing gambling on the games and suddenly people are doing shady stuff.

This is the problem I have with sports books. I've heard of this kind of scenario or something similar to it happening several times. In those cases the bettors do not receive their winnings and an investigation is done to the player which damages his reputation and potentially his career of there's any validity to him colluding with bettors. But the games in question he only played 3 or 4 minutes so unless he's like faking an injury I'm unclear on how they think he could be involved. Last thing I wanna mention is there are betting teams that get together and can explain scenarios like this. They all have seperate accounts and if one guy in the group knowledgeable of NBA says hammer Porter's under then they'll all do it. Now in the many times that has happened never have I heard the books complain when those guys end up losing. It's only when the books lose that they demand accountability, but if the bettors lose then all is well. Sports books are just really dirty and unfair. I won't say too much until I know more but I'm already feeling the league overstepped by immediately calling out Porter. If I was him and I was innocent, I'd sue everyone for all I could get.

Weird huh, who would have thought accepting sportbooks as direct sponsors would cause this?! I betcha things will only get worse if they don't brake that sponsorship ties.

too easy to cheat on prop bets when the over under is 1 !!!!! betting has gone arry for the NBA. this is gonna ruin the game sooner or later.

what's the song playing at the end?

This is stupid. The NBA and the sports world in the U.S. pushes and encourages legal betting, then.., act surprise when something minor takes place. It's stupid.

ESPN talking about betting while being sponsored by them & having their own betting app. HYPOCRISY at its finest

For those who don't know the 2 games in question, big money came in on him. In those games, he left those games.

Load management prop betting - Adam Silver's latest headache.

6:01 “why did he only play 3 mins and 4 mins” and the player in question wears the number “34”. Gematria in plain sight, wake up guys.

Gambling on sports is a bad idea

I missed the memo on porter unders? Keep me in the loop!

He finally made the news being out there in Canada

Opening the flood gates to legal gambling ends up corrupting the game?? Shocker! Not to mention $92 BILLION with a B blown on gambling last year. And how much of that money was lost by lower income individuals who are struggling to begin with? My town is filled with gambling parlors. So sad.

You’ve got every broadcaster and the entire league pushing this stuff but get upset that the players may be participating 🙄

The books set the line...and are mad tht folks took his UNDER n cashed smh...unless he faked an injury...i dnt see how he gets the blame...guy played a total of 7mins those games...seems like those books jus cant handle losing smh

Wow, im so shocked by this who would've thought.

ESPN is also the problem promoting ESPN bet

I knew they would find out about players before they investigate the Refs 🤦🏾‍♂️

It’s disgraceful how blind by the money everything is. These casinos throw money at people and all of a sudden everyone is gambling.

What do you expect? you allow legalized gambling on the games and you have players who are barely holding onto a minimum contract. This was bound to happen and it will be happening in every league.

LMAO who could have seen this coming 😂

Since betting was made official, the NBA has become extremely suspect. Especially certain referees...

Gee, I wonder if making gambling widely accessible to everybody through the internet is bad for society and individuals...

Its so ironic that ESPN would do this bit when they promote more gambling than anyone!! Gambling is out of control. You cant take games seriously anymore because of fixing. This is killing competition and all sports!

The thing is this… If they are in practice the day before and a coach is upset with him, tells him to stop shooting threes, and people in the organization hear this and tell their people to take advantage. Not sure it’s 100% on jontay

one of those "injuries" was a eye injury. So did he poke himself in the eye? Wouldn't the medical staff be able to tell if that player can or can't play with that said eye injury? and does that eye injury magically go away the next day? Didn't Steve Nash play with one eye at one point? Jalen Rose played an entire quarter with a broken hand

The head athletic trainer of the team leaked the information that he wasn’t gonna play much

Ayyye do this same high advance investigation with the REFEREES!!!!

Cmon Tim…you’re speculating

He should blame his translator

Jokic gave a player on the other team (Bam) a steal in the final seconds of a game after a hug and whisper in his ear. He had 3 steals before this, and vegas had him at 3.5.. but lets throw the guy who gets 4 minutes a game under the bus 🙄 NBA getting in bed with criminal sports betting is going to ruin the game. Such a joke

Fred Vanvleet: Bet On Yourself Porter: Bet On Himself

The double standard is mind boggling...

They need to stop prop bets and just have bets on teams it's getting dangerous

For players that don't make much I don't know if the league can create consequences dire enough to prevent prop bet rigging. If a player is on a two-way making $200,000 and is likely going to be out of the league in a year or so anyway, why not make 5-10 million rigging prop bets? They were never gonna make that much money in the league in the first place. Gambling should've stayed illegal.

There is nothing they can do. They don't complain when people lose money on rigged games.

Thanasis should also be investigated.

1) if it was up to me, gambling would be illegal for multiple reasons (not gonna go into details) 2) who forces a betting organization to put fringe bench players up for bets? no one. who said betting 20k on LBJ is better than betting 20k on an end of bench player? no one. odds are odds, mathematics do not lie and profit is profit. in the end, if you really understand the game and follow the league, you can find multiple betting offers that are over/under valued, depending on how you look at it. that is the point of betting responsibly (if there is such a thing at all)

Only upset that i didn't know about it and get on it myself

Dude is sorry as hell they was sweet I'ma all ways take his under

Won’t be the first or last. Prop bets make it so easy for individual players to effect betting.

Its a huge pandora box for the players & the League...

Refs haven't been the same since fan duel

Put the" Pete Rose" clause in their contracts.. if you're caught betting, it's an automatic ban.

Rudy Gobert is 🙂

sports app mad............but, but will not void bets when a player gets legitimately injured 1 minute into a game. do yo thang 11

now u can be a regular capper with us

He could have nothing to do with it. Could be someone in the locker room like a trainer that knew he wasn’t going to play much because of an injury. Or am I wrong?

You guys don’t get it. Adam silver has the feds watching all nba players. With the refs gambling bs and some nba players on bull, This is very confusing. This is another reason why older nba players complain about todays game. Wemby would drop 30 1 5 5 5, then some bull the next game. Also no one has noticed that players are sitting out more now than the early 2000s.

Who would EVER HAVE GUESSED anything like this could happen by legalizing betting on professional sports? : /

The only reason the sports are mad is because they have no void in place for things like this like making sure the playing at least plays the first half or first quarter for the bet to be void but no it a player gets injured in the first play of the game and you had the over you lost so it’s just the sports books mad

I wouldn't be surprised if he was blackmailed in to doing it.

There was other games where he only played 5, 6, 7 minutes though

Jontay Porter is not the only one. Others are doing it too they haven't got caught

No laws broken. Sure seems like a lightweight patsy

25k Really! Sounds like Draft Kings can’t handle loss. They acting like he’s putting up Ohtani type bets

I have no issue with what Jontay Porter did

Yeah… These guys aren’t rigging the games in their favor. FOH

It's been a long season for the Raptors yall..

If there’s no proof he’s linked it is totally wrong for the NBA to sit him. The sports leagues made their bed by opening up this Pandora’s box, they need to live with it.

Gambling has ruined sports

A betting market is a game of who has the best information. A bet like this could be based on noticing coaching patterns, or perhaps contractual incentives, or some narrative a close watcher of the team might notice. In my opinion, if you're going to secure your betting market against that kind of insider information, you need to be selective about what kind of bets are allowed into the market. Individual stats bets are easily gamed by insider information, simply by the nature of the bet! If you're going to limit bets to wins or losses, in meaningful games, the market's going to be a lot more secure against insider gaming. If that's not enough, then betting on seemingly silly things like the final score being odd or even, or have a new round of betting every quarter, should be a better approach. You have to ask yourself about the nature of the market you're regulating here, because the simpler solutions are usually on the market side.

Jontay Porter is brother of Michael Porter Jr. But Otto Porter Jr. is not related to neither of them. Mind blowing....

Hope they’re looking into the betting accounts involving refs!

It's not only jontay porter that's the real problem

Lol don’t duck with gambling companies. The house always wins

This is horrible for the NBA AND the sports books as well. If it comes out that he did affect his performance/injury status, then the NBA MUST bring an indefinite/lifetime ban on Porter. Just dumb. He couldve easily made himself a role player for a half decade and collected a few million there.

To fix this going forward on the players side just only allow those kind of bets that makes advice a certain amount financially, maybe around the avatars player salary which I think is 12 million. Now they need to address this on the other non-player sides

“Headache” Smith . . .

Sounds like he's not playing to the script 🤷🏾‍♂️

How did he control how many min he played by

Why do that ask Woj to explain anything? He is terrible at giving any updates on tv. Let alone explaining something.

Gambling could threaten the integrity of the game...This post is brought to you by ESPNBETS

If Greeny thinks betting only works on LeBron James really shows the disconnect some of these guys have with what's actually on the board for money

Adam silver is destroying the NBA; over empowering players, losing control of all star game, and embracing betting.

Please tell me this man didn't place a prop on himself under his own legal name

Well, but we also need to be talking about the refs who, after betting became legal, are making bad calls at an alarming rate.

Let me translate... The books always win. Don't gamble, it's not fun or worth it.

Toronto taking a lot of Ls this season. Yikes
