I don't want to hear about a Mafia or a Mob by the alphabet boys or the media unless I see one getting arrested…bet it never happens…quote that!
Is how many gambling commercials is ESPN going to run while covering this story?
So, is Brian truly this naive or is he afraid to speak up on a league that has allowed him the opportunity to make the money he has..?
I bet there are people that are not brown involved but will never be arrested….kick rocks
the political commentators on espn have nothing to say…..holier than thou….nba is digusting.
Bets are made during during the games. Billups charges are alleged. Roizer proved innocent. Any mafioso arrested? The NBA Jews concocted this up. 5-1 that Billups walks. Bet?
I need my bread back class action can’t wait
This will spread to all sports and college…
Bill Burr is loving this.
Load management = load the bets 🤑💰💲
Sportsbooks and casinos have a built-in advantage because they get early access to injury reports, lineup changes, and insider updates that shift the odds. If bettors had the same real-time knowledge, it would level the playing field. Transparency protects both sides — when bettors and books operate with equal information, the focus stays on skill, not secrecy. Make it fair: give bettors the same knowledge, and you wouldn’t have to scrutinize every bet.
Hey Black nba players..Sports betting was not designed for y'all to benefit from. Its designed for white people to benefit from and for the greedy black players to get caught up go to jail and loose all the money they get. Daaaah.
Who are classified as low level people 😮
When the FBI and Federal District Attorney's come after you, their success rate is 95 percent, the FBI and Federal Government Attorneys do not take cases unless they have overwhelming evidence, Billups, Jones and Rozier are in a lot of trouble. Other names will be announced in due course, Windhorst is correct about his information.
Funny??? Not "ONE MAFIA" member was arrested….NOT ONE!!!!
ESPN is making loads of money off of sports betting. They are culpable. It's a clear conflict of interest for broadcasters and commentators.
I guarantee this is happening in all other major sports. It might not be as big but it’s happening.
This is the SECOND TIME the NBA has been intertwined in a gambling scandal that involved both fixing games and the mafia.
Hold the NBA liable.
"SO I am hearing that Chauncey is on Record telling folks to put the full house on so and so… So he was influencing the outcome of the games.
Im sure they dont care what the nba is thinking.
Perhaps the WNBA is involved too. That would explain the constant outrageous and backwards calls against the Fever and Caitlin Clark.
Normalize making fun of gambling addicts
Nobody that’s an honest, working person, needs sports betting! It’s not a necessary thing in life and the negative effects far outweigh any entertainment value, so keep bets between friends or family members and get rid of the rest of sports betting. Making sports betting more easily available to everyone just makes the odds that sports are going to be negatively affected by the corrupt few. We don’t need this!
Ok brian Windhorst it’s painfully obvious you’re trying to defend the league. At least try and hide your bias better sheez
Friggin joke. Done watching this rigged garbage. Silver needs to be fired. Any player involved needs to be banned for life.
Kawahi was making a killing
BLACKS BEING BLACK
There was more law enforcement coverage for a private poker game than there were for Trump’s sinister attempt to overthrow an election and the sexual abuse cases of 28 women.
I guess the government has no other important work to do right now…
This is tip of the iceberg type of stuff. The embedment of online sports betting is ruining sports at all levels
WHAT DO U KNOW
U just said his name
Anyone heard of the Whitesox throwing the world series. This has been around. Still think Jordan played baseball to chase his dreams? Ever heard of Pete Rose? Its endless. If you can make money you can be compromised.
Windy is an embarrassment to journalism. He is clearly on the NBA payroll
Awesome awesome awesome educational session. That rep was a wizard. I’m the type of golf sicko that loves that info. Thanks, and play well Dyl.
The NBA has nothing on the WNBA for fixing games. It’s one thing to turn a multimillionaire into fixing a game, but nothing to get a WNBA player making less than $100k a year to shave points off a prop bet. “Hey girl, Vegas says you score 16 points tomorrow night. Make sure you don’t go over 14 and get $40k cash and a new Bimmer”
So, Windy thinks that the NBA won't really care about a head coach being up to his ears in a Mafia operation that went on for years? Yep, that's Windy in a nutshell.
How does this NOT happen all the time?
NBA never had to answer to anyone whenever they rig the draft lottery. They gave the Cavaliers the #1 pick three times in four years after Lebron left Cleveland. And after Doncic got traded, Dallas got the #1 pick despite being in the play-in. Who knows how many more times they'll give Dallas the #1 pick just like Cleveland.
Jail-Blazers at their best…
Folks lost money and were pissed… so they called the FEDS.
Chauncey gonna LOVE Attika
He's old. He travel so much. Why not be retire simply
Must be a Real insult to true sports fans who go to these games faithfully buying season tickets as a family tradition
What’s ilegal inside information on nba games ?
Isn’t it the team announces if a player will/probably not play in the coming game?
so.. in a nutshell.. Sports Betting is the monetization of DNP and player rotations.
