NBA strikes agreement with gambling partners to remove under prop bets on lowest-paid players

[BobbyFK]

Your thoughts on this guys? I mean thinking about it. It makes sense because the players who are paid the least might be the ones that are more susceptible to outside influences to underperform/throw a game

NBA strikes agreement with gambling partners to remove under prop bets on lowest-paid players, per report

The NBA seems to be trying to avoid another Jontay Porter situation

Aren't the lowest paid ones still mulit-millionaires??

No phones and now this?

So, what's next?

Lowest paid - you mean the guys who just finished up their 4 years of NIL contracts in college and must now “start at the bottom” in the NBA after being top paid on their college rosters ?

Let’s be honest - no one is walking into this league without having pocketed several hundred thousand before ever sitting a minute at the end of an NBA bench - some likely eclipsed 7 figures prior to getting here.

Simply trying to hide the truth once again - just like the NFL. Fixing happens and it’s a problem.

The leagues want all the hassles that comes with all the issues that come with getting in bed with grabbing some of that gambling money. What are the odds of someone else getting caught before the end of the year?

 

[djefferis]

ever heard of 10 day contracts?

Yes - and even the guys who sign those likely walked away with a few hundred thousand from their college days.

And exactly how many places are featuring props on a guy playing on a 10 day deal ?

To make it worthwhile to offer a prop - there must be sufficient interest from players for the book as well as enough info for them to make the line. Simple fact is most guys on 10 day deals aren’t playing enough to allow books to make the line nor do they attract enough interest to make it worth while (unless your dad happens to also play in the league I guess).

porter was making 56,000 on a 2 way deal last year.

zero NIL

you will have guys like that around for next 5-8 years. it only takes one more porter like scam to shut things down in many states
