BREAKING Arrested in NBA Federal Gambling investigation: Chauncy Billups and Terry Rozier (and others)

[BamaNation]

Portland Trail Blazers coach Chauncey Billups and Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier were arrested Thursday as part of a pair of investigations related to illegal gambling.

uh oh...

Sportsbooks in multiple states flagged suspicious betting interest on Rozier's statistics ahead of a Charlotte Hornets-New Orleans Pelicans game on March 23, 2023. An unexpected surge of bets -- including 30 wagers in 46 minutes from a professional bettor totaling $13,759 -- came in on the under on Rozier's points, rebounds and assists, causing sportsbooks to halt betting on the veteran guard. Rozier, then with the Hornets, played just 10 minutes before leaving the game, citing a foot injury.

No surprise. Sports betting will only get worse and more of this will come to light. Luke was said in the SEC refs discussion, with the level of consequence, I wouldn’t be surprised that something like this was going on.

Watching the NFL (especially this season) it feels like some of the games are absolutely rigged. Might not be, but it sure feels that way...

From the press briefing, it involved 4 of the 5 well known mafia families. Sophisticated
shuffling devices and x ray tables to see what the other players cards were. It appears
the NBA players were invited to the games to give them legitimacy and were the marks.
A very high tech operation.

When sports betting was legalized one knew that this would not be very far behind. Rigged games were already happening when illegal...but this is incredible. NBA and The Mob in bed together. I wonder what Lebron is thinking this am about how his Lakers played last year???
