The Refs ejecting star players or players period for absolutely no reason while betting going on is way more suspect compared to this..
Great point
Exactly
Facts
The refs aren’t ejecting them for no reason. They’re ejecting them for breaking the rules. You may not like the rules, but that’s not the point.
@@Guyyyy2027 looking at somebody after you dunk on them is not a rule.. Dudes be getting techs for no reason.. So what are you talking bout??
Shannon one of the only ones not scared to tell the truth 💯
Really. To state the obvious. Casino's aren't in the business of losing money. This is news to anyone.
Cause windhorst still works for the nba so you know he’s on thin ice with his words
the LEBALCO truth ?
Facts 😂😂
The talking points are predetermined. Everyone knows what everyone else is gonna say. This is a script family.

😅
Lmao right … what a joke
😂😂
Look at these hypocrites
😂😂😂
I'm with Shannon on this if the casinos had won the bets they would have never said anything about this. They would have just thought oh we just made a bunch of money off some idiots who bet all this money on a 2 way player. but since they lost they're over here crying about it making a gigantic scene because they lost money, so pathetic.
Who would fix a game or shave points in order to lose money to a casino?
He stated the obvious. Why would a casino complain about making too much money off a particular prop bet? They are only concerned about bets or transactions that are consistently winning because the system isn't designed for that. The system is rigged for the bettor to lose so what would there be to report when the system is working?
@artvanderlay6974 he said it because windy implied it was about integrity. Giving the casino too much credit
Thank you captain obvious
lol every clown in this comment section doesn’t realize normal people lost money on his over. It’s illegal to fix a bet, whether the casinos make money or not isn’t the issue.
Brian Windhorst "weighs in" 🤣🤣
Lmaoooo
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 you so dumb
😂😂😂😂😂
Petty😂
Wow really clever “joke” bud
Wow your telling me the league that endorsed gambling is seeing consequences of their actions 💀😱
If he rats out on who’s behind it, he can add two broken kneecaps to his list of injuries.
And a lacerated tongue.
this killed me lmao
Cousin Sal, and Carmine gonna whoop Dat azs
they will find him at the bottom of Lake Ontario in cement Nikes.
The cement shoes are settling as we speak!!
Well now let’s look into these refs. These ridiculous fouls calls, techs, ejections…it has to stop!
These leagues open up Pandora box and now acting like this wasn't possible
Can you even imagine how much is going on behind the scenes?
@@samribz3320I’m jealous tbh…. It’s a free money glitch and none of us are in on it smfh
@@samribz3320I was talking to someone recently about this. If the curtains were pulled, it’d shake these corporations
Casual take. Sports betting being legalized just makes it easier to catch this. Sports betting has always been around, but now with legalization there are rules and regulations which help catch this.
@@jortor3337 Keep telling yourself that 🤣You really stupid enough to think ALL betting is by the book and using draft kings? There is plenty of illegal and under the table betting going on.
How suspicious u had to be playing to be investigated 😂
Like with most fires it’s not just the fuel you need oxygen and a spark. Here it’s the weird betting patterns not the play.
"Bet on Yourself "
😅 -Fred Van Vleet
Porter technically bet against himself😅
Shannon right the casino will keep u for 72 hours if u losing money but soon as you win big they don’t want u inside there
Some will even ban you if you win "too much money." See Dana White
Sports betting in general just needs to be banned for good it ruins the game
Yes it does!
Then how else is Scott foster gonna get his lake house?
It is haraam
Not gonna happen
Best JJJ. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Betting $20,000+ on basically a G-League player. Nothing suspicious about that.
There was a $80k bet on a UNDER PARLAY to win $1.2 Million! xDDD
I mean betting on any role players under might actually be smart because whos to say they will play?
@@AP90xBut if the player all of a sudden…leaves the game…for apparently no reason…
“casino integrity” is an oxymoron
Mavs + Adelson family is another oxymoron
But these refs just skate though....😂😂
"just a rogue official...."
Now look into Scott Foster
Casino's also want to preserve their ability to generate income on NBA action. That just might be a reason for them reporting their investigation.
Crazy part is he probably one of hundreds of players doing this lol.
Most players are not that stupid. It’s a few bad apples of course but saying Hundreds is ridiculous
Most NBA players aren't on 2-way contracts making peanuts. Only a fool on a roster making the NBA minimum salary would try to pull something like this. Just not worth it.
Yeah, 100's of people are getting away with millions of dollars in betting irregularities that the casinos are letting slide by
@@artvanderlay6974making peanuts when he’s making 400k a year for barely playing basketball
@@artvanderlay6974Bruh he is already playing the lottery being in the nba. You can average 12 and 6 at 6’10 and get a 50 million dollar contract now. He was also not making peanuts and was set to make half a million dollars this season. It’s not all about the money, it’s a lot to do with the thrill of gambling for these guys.
If a player can do it, what is stopping a referee?
Finally my Raptors make a headline on espn 😅
Now, anytime a player is injured or shoots airballs, we all have to wonder if the player is betting props. Adam silvers embrace of sports betting is destroying the NBA
It’s not even the nba who initiated the investigation.. it’s Vegas who isn’t happy they lost a bunch of money . Sports betting ruined everything
Windy with that cnn background 😂😂😂
The NBA relies on casino officials to alert them to these issues? Ay carumba.
Somebody needa check Tobias Harris out.
😂😂😂
😁😁😁😁😁😁
😂😂😂😂 I’m weak
lol
He stealing! 😂😂😂😂
A casino with integrity!😂😂😂😂
Sports betting is destroying society
Fscts
💯
Sports betting, social media & BBLs
Meh, social media and humans in general is ruining society.
"The house always Wins" keep that in mind for those that love to gamble
Don't play against the house, play hold em, and scope out a drunk table on a Saturday night.
@@ozz7602
Yuup best strategy, angrier they get the more money you end up getting
But y’all out here promoting gambling on ESPN , all these podcasts too lmao 😂
*I would have just kept fouling if I was him. That's easy to do. I've seen players get 3 fouls in the first quarter by mista...... wait I might be on to something.* 🤣🤣
Without integrity, nothing works.
Many people would take seven or eight years to make as much he’s making in one year. Let’s put this in perspective please
Sports betting and betting in general ruins lives and ruins sports.
UNC always keeping it 💯!!
He’s actually wrong though. Casino does care if you’re losing at a higher rate than normal. I guarantee their outlier algorithm catches that too and sends out comp cards for their restaurant or hotel or gifts out X amount of dollars of free play.
They want the bad players who lose at higher volumes to keep coming back.
Unc said it best the Casino is the biggest scam right next to Car Insurance.
No one's allowed to cheat outside of casinos and NBA
Sports betting ruining sports period, refs, players etc.
Shannon spot on as always
This is typical “fall guy” BS. It’s a certifiable guarantee that this is going on all over the league from small players to starters and the NBA needs to pin it on someone to look proactive.
This was all foreseeable and that makes it 10x worse. I’m pretty sure betting is either gonna have to be taken away or else the feds will inevitably intervene once it becomes too obvious.
I love basketball to my core but the NBA has steadily destroyed its reputation since the bubble each year.
If you are a star you are already getting paid a lot. And it would be obvious if you are a cheat.
Las Vegas is the definition of
“Shady practices” 😂😂😂
They are all doing it. I picked Josh Hart to score more than 12pts. That MFer scored 11pts and checked out..
Shannon spoke straight facts
You don't think a player averaging 13 rebounds ain't going to get 12. It ain't hard to act like you can't get a rebound with other guys trying to get it themselves.
Players been rigging the league when sports betting started and this news proves it
Betting is shoved down our throats 24/7. Gaming companies are trying their best to separate us from our money. Why can’t players manipulate the odds and take money from the gaming companies? That’s just the application of modern capitalism.
Man they messin bro bag up. He knew this was his last ride 💀💀
They talked about this in 1 day than they ever talked about Giddy 🤦🏽♂️
Giddey did nothing wrong
@@thesportsguy126 not the point. We don’t know if this dude wrong neither
@@mr.h3lmsl3y people won millions on a game where he left because of a eye injury……
@@thesportsguy126 and Giddy don Diddly someone under age
Yeah casinos and integrity shouldn’t be allowed to even be said together.
Idgaf about any of this.
This is the highlight of Jontay Porter's career. Enjoy it Jontay!
The quality of games is already garbage. Now, imagine realizing so much fixed stuff is happening behind the scenes. Why even watch basketball anymore? They've ruined the game & soul of pure competition! it's getting corrupted & influenced by money that at some point it may collapse on itself.
I like the line up of Unc with Windy and Legs…entertaining and detailed
This was a great segment of knowledgeable commentators
All players are betting you can look out on the floor and see it lol
"Casino's Integrity Operation" never thought id hear those words
U making 400k a year 🤦🏽♂️ungrateful 🤮
b4 taxes
Funny how everyone is mentioning this even though they’re allegations but never mentioned Josh Giddy
What about him?
@@twitherspoon8954assault on his gf
Thing is his punishment wasn't media scrutiny but career obscurity which people are missing
shannnon is the best ever so honest and i love the energy
Wow. Didn't see this coming.🤑
Shannon is 💯percent right ✅️ on point
Or maybe the league shouldn't be promoting betting.
What if its the betting company the one fixing the game?. It would never leakout
Only smart thing Shannon has ever said. It's only an issue when the house loses.
I saw a twitter post exposing this, I guess he's been doing this for a long time. He's made a lot of money but nobody stepped in. The bet was a parlay for 80k that got him busted. 80k to win 2.2 million or something like that
All his unders
I think companies dont want to pay out to the winner and will use this investigation as the reason why
real definition on betting on your self 😂
“integrity Operation” is craaaaaazy 🤣🤣🤣
casinos calling out people's integrity is ironic
Never forget that Brian Windhorst sided with the police who pushed Masai after the Raptors won the finals. The same police who tried to sue Masai and lost.
Dude he plays 14 min a game. Why would no one choose the under? It’s common sense
His under number is priced in buddy . They were probably at like 7 PRA
Shannon a 💯. Ain't no integrity in casinos.
Porter has got some explaining to do. Betting irregularities don't lie.
my raptors are starting G league talent right now- we needed him as a backup C badly
$400,000 a year is A-LOT of money windy
Someone needs to investigate the suspicious free throw discrepancy between the Lakers and the rest of the league
The league acting like this was never gonna happen 😅😅 Come on man. Refs been involved too. Way too many over/unders with big money for us to believe otherwise
Thank you Shannon lmao Casino's and betting sites talking about fairness is hilarious
They used jontay porter to take the heat off ohtani😂
Facts…💯
"Complexion for protection"
Remember when we needed all the facts before he could weigh in on Josh Giddy 🤔
Im more worried when NBA employes like Donaghy change the results. Or when an Eric Lewis "retires". Those guys control the results of a game. A two way guy wont.
He also had a discord room of ppl trailing these props. The volume is going to stand out.
Imagine the ones doing it and not being caught. Everything making sense now
So when someone starts to make money from a casino, they cry to the NBA and accuse people of rigging bets, as if they don’t rig bets themselves.
What’s scary is that soon enough you will be able to make prop bets right on league pass.
Maybe they shouldn’t have players over under so high then 🤷🏾♂️
Wendy’s neck looks like waves in gulf Mexico when he talks
This could honestly be someone in the betting world who has someone supplying tips within the raptors organization. Not a good look at all but we really need to wait for information before we point a finger at the player.
first it was Shahei Ohtani in Major League Baseball, now a role player porter in National Basketball Association, who next MLS,NFL,NHL.
lmao espn cut unc so fast 😂
Conflict of interest
Shannon's really not afraid lol. He really name checked ESPN Bet specifically
This is wild. At least Calvin Ridley was betting on his team that was not the best thing to do that time because ATL won like 3 games.
Could it be that he's going through injuries or personal issues and someone around him found out about it and when he wasn't gonna play the whole game?
UNC the reason I stopped watching undisputed. Gotta love him for always keeping it real
Bro. This league has been predetermined like pro wrestling for the last 20 years.
Meanwhile every sports podcast is sponsored by betting sites. Wonder why sports is so broken these days...
betting under on role players is my goto bet 3
What platform? Cause some of them mfs not even on the board lol
Need Shannon and Charles Barkley on a panel together
This is the water that recedes right before the Tsunami. As the years go on the players and refs will only get more harassed hope the little bump in profit was worth everything
Typo in the headline. Guess we all make mistakes
Well they could get rid of under on props. But overs can be manipulated easy on these guys attempting 0.5 three pointers. Just jack up a 3 right away. They should get rid of shot attempt props in general.
Prop bets shouldn't be allowed for players that make less than $10 mil/yr or have total contracts under $25 mil. It'd solve the problem. At that threshold, there won't be too many shenanigans people can pull on either the player side or the coaching side.
Take gambling out of sports!
I wish I knew the other players that were doing this, also the refs, coaches and owners of teams. I think the Orlando Magic does the same thing bc the way they do their subs in weird.
