Pro poker player pleads guilty to fraudulently misleading sports bettors

So shocked - someone who claims to know “inside” info on a sporting event and is offering to share the info (for a price) is actually completely full of shit and scamming people.

And a pro poker player at that - hopefully he acted alone and his dishonest actions don’t make people question the integrity of the poker circuit as a whole.

I wonder if he will actually serve any jail time? My best guess from reading the article is no, probably just a slap on the wrist

Poker players scumbags always were
Broke as dirt too

"Zeidman is a well-known poker pro who won a bracelet at the 2012 World Series of Poker."

---> Today he won handcuff bracelets, a bonus on both hands.

Outing himself as a scumbag in '05 when he slowrolls a call with the nuts on the river.

I don’t agree with touts in general, but honestly I think those charges are complete bullsh!t

He offered a service and is no different than any other smooth talking salesman in any other business

“The poker player helped run an organization that placed national radio advertisements to lure bettors in New York and Florida to use their services for sports betting advice, according to court documents. Zeidman and his partners used fake names and high-pressure sales tactics, and falsely led clients to believe the organization had access to non-public information about things like player injuries and "fixed" matches. In reality, the information was fake or based on public information, according to court documents.”


LoL that’s every tout. They come up with some ridiculous sports service names these days.

Check out the sports service plays forum at some of the names that are hilarious

This guy was singled out

This guy was singled out

1000% he was - likely as a result of refusing to give up a bigger fish in a sports betting raid or more probable - refusing to turn over info on where to find funds from a gambling operation so that local authorities could seize them.

Amazes me the effort some agencies will go to to tackle “financial crimes” where the only “victims” are generally other crooks or people who walked in eyes wide open to what they were doing (I/e gamblers playing offshore or via bookie or people “investing” in high risk/speculative things and pyramid schemes). Law enforcement has zero interest in solving murders or unprofitable crime - but let them catch the scent of a load of $$ and they are all over it - funny how they snatch a million and turn in 200k which in turn get added to their department budget to fund further investigations into financial crimes - especially when your talking NY and FL.
