Federal prosecutors have been investigating whether veteran NBA player Terry Rozier manipulated his performance as part of an illegal sports betting scheme.
The inquiry into Rozier is part of a wider government probe into a sprawling ring of gamblers and poker players who have allegedly rigged games across the sports landscape, people familiar with the matter said. The same investigation has already led to a criminal charge and a lifetime ban from the NBA for former Toronto Raptors forward Jontay Porter.
Authorities believe some of the people who arranged for Porter to fix his performance in two games last season had inside information that prompted them to bet large sums of money against Rozier a year earlier.I’ve been waiting for a story like this to finally drop. The way gambling has become so casually intertwined with sports over the past few years has been kinda crazy and I knew it would eventually lead to something like this.
Not to sound too much like an old man, but back in my day you NEVER heard of point spreads or anything like that on a major broadcast. The closest you ever heard was an announcer making a cheeky comment like “that TD just made a lot of people happy” at the end of a blowout. The way the leagues are all sponsored by DraftKings now is just wild to me.
