Brian Fowler Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 I think it might be time this needs it's own thread. We had the Calvin Ridley deal last year The mostly Detroit Lions stuff last month The Alabama baseball coach story that's been going on the last week or two And now, both Iowa State (involving student athletes from track and field, wrestling, and football) and Iowa (involving approximately 15 student athletes from the baseball team) have gambling probes. Man, sports leagues and colleges jumping straight into bed with sports books the day it was legal sure didn't have any negative consequences... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fowler Posted May 10, 2023 Author Share Posted May 10, 2023 Lions also cut Stanley Berryhill a day or two ago. He was the other player only suspended six games instead of the indefinite bans. That means Jameson Williams is now the only player from the team to not lose his job over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Operation Penalidade Máxima II, launched by the Public Ministry of Goiás , shows conversations between Bruno Lopez, head of the organization, midfielder Max Alves, from Colorado Rapids and who has played for Flamengo, and side Zeca, from Houston Dynamo, two clubs in MLS. The exchange of messages shows confirmation that the payment of BRL 45,000 was made to Max to take a yellow card in a game that took place in September 2022.

BobbyWhioux Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 5 hours ago, Tabe said: I'd put money on it having already happened but not uncovered. well that's the thing, innit. The Black Sox were about the 6th or 7th team to throw a world series in the 1910s. They were merely the ones so flagrant and artless about it they couldn't help but get caught (abandoning the plot and suddenly trying to win when the gamblers started to stiff them being my personal favorite wrinkle) and caused the Crisis Moment in the process. After all, how do you tell the difference between an actual crooked referee and just another innocent bad call stemming from yet another dumb rule? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death From Above Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 Cricket has a pretty long history of betting/match fixing scandals but I'm too tired to dig into it right now. I'm sure one of the English lads is probably far better versed in it than I am since I've been out of the sport for years anyway, but the biggest ones that come to mind are "pretty much any neutral site game ever played at Sharjah is sketchy" and the whole Hanse Cronje thing. Pakistan's team in general had a cloud follow them around for years, rightly or wrongly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goitre Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 1 hour ago, Brian Fowler said: That seems like a lot Yes, but it's only, like, 2.5 bets per week at face value. If we take out the off-season when he's not betting it goes up to 3.5ish. The FA's hypocrisy is incredible, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra Commander Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 https://www.cbsnews.com/boston/news/kayshon-boutte-arrested-illegal-sports-gambling-louisiana-lsu-new-england-patriots-nfl/ Quote Patriots receiver Kayshon Boutte is in some trouble in Louisiana. Boutte has been arrested in Baton Rouge on charges related to illegal online gambling. Boutte turned himself in on Thursday and is facing charges of Computer Fraud -- which is a felony -- and a misdemeanor count of Gaming Prohibited for Persons Under 21. The charges allege that Boutte, who turned 21 last May, created a fraudulent online gaming account that said he was 21 years old or older so that he could legally gamble while he was still at student at LSU. He used that account to make nearly 9,000 illegal bets, including six on the LSU football team while he was a member of the Tigers in 2022.
