the NBA is investigated for fraud and betting – 2024-03-28 16:16:32

The association of the NBA with the houses that promote sports betting undoubtedly had a strong impact on the large number of people who now navigate the world of gambling in the United States. To the large amount of millions of dollars obtained, now has been added the historic concern that some players from the disciplines involved want to coexist with this modality.

Information from ESPN detailed that Toronto Raptors player Jontay Poter is being investigated for being allegedly involved in two cases of fraud and illegal sports betting in games played in the present 2024, specifically in the Canadian team’s matches on January 26 against the Los Angeles Clippers, and on March 20 against the Sacramento Kings.

Reason for suspicion

The television network highlighted that the suspicions are that Porter fixed his performance and not the game in general, based on the poor numbers he reflected in both games and made many doubt that it was a simple bad game and that everything in reality would have been about a play to benefit bets, thanks to the combination of all its statistics so that the under was given,

To try to understand a little what this specific betting line is about, betting houses establish a limit for each player regarding points, rebounds, assists and more. When these numbers are exceeded, the over is given and if it is not reached, then it is the under.

In these games Jontay Poter left all his statistics under due to an erratic night of shooting at the hoop and to this is added the fact that he only played four and three minutes respectively due to alleged physical problems.

Against the Clippers, the bet that won the most money that day in the NBA was the three-pointers shot by Porter. In the game he did not shoot triples and was below his statistics, while versus the Kings, what generated the most profits were also the triples, attempting a single shot, with two rebounds.
