Rich Eisen Reacts to Jontay Porter's Lifetime NBA Ban for Gambling | The Rich Eisen Show 

Well, he did this to himself. I agree it’s insane they are doing this we hate gambling but are raking in the dough, but still, he screwed himself….

@@jackjackthompson5771all he did was take advantage of what the league is already doing…. Refs will eject a guy for looking at them and saying absolutely nothing because they’re about to hit

I was going to comment this lol.

for decades the illegal sports gambling industry made millions (probably billions) by using the nba's product and the nba got absolutely nothing. now it is a legal and regulated industry in most states, why is it wrong for the nba to get some money? people are betting on nba games, the nba definitely definitely deserves some of the profits generated by these sports books

@@mrmakuman24 it’s not about it being wrong or right it’s about you breaking a rule that’s specifically stated in the contract you signed for millions of dollars.

yeah only GMs are allowed to tank games.

That team would lose against a 2024 play in Klay Thompson lol

​@@drumagus2258tanking is legal grambling on your games in which your apart of is not but you gen z babies always gotta come with your foolishness

@@cremdeniro237 well for one he didnt actually bet on any games he played in and for two tanking should be illegal. its certainly immoral.

He did not cause his team to lose. He got out of the game as quickly as he could. He had no impact on the outcome of the games whatsoever.

That’s not shi have you seen bezo. His greed is not as bad as billionaires you do know the difference between millionaires and billionaires is exponential but let’s attack a guy who could live off those winning without stocks maybe 10 years

Greed is undefeated but a guy who bets on fake sports or a man who exploits children in third world countries… let’s start at the top and go to the bottom not the other way around.

​@dowhatiwantc7637 say that again..the world 1percent wealth is getting greater whilst everyone else own is diminishing

@@dowhatiwantc7637 I'm no fan of Jeff Bezos but he did make life a lot easier for billions of people by inventing Amazon.

An addiction is much more powerful than greed…

@carrite for real.. I wonder if they gave ppl their money back if they had taken his over for those games, since they didn’t give them the winnings. I had a parlay for +1200 odds where only leg that lost was Temple +7.5 over UAB and they lost badly but reports are that that was the 5th game this year of suspicious betting behavior (it started out as +1.5 and went to 7.5 over night) if it comes out that they were tanking on purpose wonder if they’ll subtract that from my original parlay as a push and give me the 3 pick win at like +550 (probably not though they’ll just tell me sucks to suck )

@@kylem6370they wouldn’t it’s all fake and Las Vegas keeps betting alive for one reason the money they make. The house always wins

Exactly. He was caught because it just wasn't him moving his own money, but a lot of money moved which triggered their systems to further investigate.

Exactly, I bet no bets were frozen earlier in the year when they were throwing Jokic and Giannis out of games at half time. I bet they were raking it in then. It’s despicable. Get this gambling bs out of my sports.

Huh ?

every sports league in the world has had beer partnerships/sponsors for as long as i can remember doesn't mean they condone players showing up to games drunk lol people need to stop being so melodramatic and realize that people make these kinds of choices regardless of what's legal or regardless of who one of their bosses business sponsors are

​@@mattcarberry368That's not even apples to oranges. A player, coach, GM, or other member of the team can use insider information to make quick money with sports betting apps which are designed to be super easy to use. Sure, a player making 7 figures may not be likely to engage but an assistant trainer who knows about an injury? Grow up.

​@@mattcarberry368The players showing up drunk wouldn't be with the intent of getting some side action for throwing games or ensuring less than expected results.

Constant gambling ads are a big turnoff!!!

And it’s so easy to gamble now. You can’t promote all these gambling companies and put it in our face everyday and expect no consequences. You’re right, this is just the beginning

He puts them on to read his notes...

They’re called “reading’ glasses for a reason

Right 😂

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

There’s books on betting before these this just made it worse

Not just the players and coaches either, but also the officials.

Right. It's the league's fault.... Give me a break. This greedy idiot knew the rules, and did it anyway. Accountability is clearly challenging for you, @robj362

They all are slimey every betting app is based on them making money not the betters

@@dowhatiwantc7637 I don't care about the betters. I care about the players getting in trouble even though their teams and sports Leagues are making deals with these gambling apps

@@dowhatiwantc7637that’s how gambling works. Why else are casinos open 24/7? Sure aren’t there for people to win 😂

how is that bullshit that players cannot bet on games in a league that employs them? that is the most common sense gambling rule possible. i actually think im going crazy because theres no way another human said its bullshit that nba players cant bet on nba games, especially games theyre playing in. thats completely insane. also sports gambling is as old as sports itself, as long as humans have been playing sports other humans have been betting on it. why shouldnt the nba profit off of that? the illegal sports gambling industry was making profits by using the nba's product for decades. why is it wrong for the nba to want some of those profits when the gambling is done in a legal and regulated manner?

@@mrmakuman24 you don’t even make any sense. So you want guys to do what this dude did and take under a on himself and make the games a clown league so every player can do this

Not the point...he was giving inside information about himself and other teammates.

There is no boxer named jontay wilder 😭

@@jamesonedwardsii4943 you don’t say…… but one can understand what the person was thinking when they made this

Good one, people are damn naive to believe someone can retrieve that much cash from his account and he is not aware.🤦

@@terrenceboone5206did you read the 37 pages detail first? And there are many cases that people stole the money from pro athletes. Kevin Garnett got stolen 77M from his financial team and he didn't have interpreter. Just let you know.

@@terrenceboone5206 it's not Japanese Yen. it was foreign currency to Shohei = a lot less valuable culturally, even if it isnt economically. It's like being paid in aluminium cans, not cash like you think.

@@terrenceboone5206exactly. No one understands how wiring money works. It requires 2 factor authentication. One of which is a token. This would mean the interpreter would not only have Ohtani's bank password, but his phone, his phone password, and his biometric to unlock the token each time. Also, all wires go through OFAC. With the frequency of these the bank would have called the phone number on file, not the interpreter. Finally Ohtani has a lot of money going in and out of his account and has complex taxes. He has a bookeeper who settles the books at the end of the month. Any unauthorized transactions would have been noticed by a bookeeper. This is the same as America accepting Mark McGwire saying I took GNC products to get big.

He's going to need an interpreter in China.

The two situations aren’t even remotely comparable. One athlete gets robbed, the other athlete throws his own games that he was betting on.

I just found out that was his brother 😭

why would you be sad for him? is he involved too? He’s not estranged so I bet he knew.

He has another brother who was convicted for driving drunk and killing someone last year the Porter family is on another level

why

they will if they can prove NFl'ers are throwing games and underperforming, for bets; they havent found or released anyone for it yet.

@@pretzelhunt ALL major sports are rigged...and some amateur ones, too.

@@petep5207 lol... ok, Alex Jones. the USA faked the moon landing too, cuz it's made of cheese.

Draymond doesn’t gamble on his own games he just wants to fight. Wants to be a UFC fighter on an nba allstar salary.😂😂

I am sure that no NBA ref in history has ever fixed a game before /s. As a sidenote, scott foster yet again assigned to a lakers game. Take that as you will...

Michael Jordan

Good chance he would have got a minimum contract with the Raptors next season. Two million $ gone essentially gambled away…

The DOJ, IRS and Homeland Security have concluded Ohtani is innocent. If you can't stand it, all you have to do is prove them all wrong. Plain and simple.

Smooth brain comment

Cause the gambling site don't like 2 "lose" money

Ohtani is proven clean and FBI announced Ohtani as the victim after FBI, Home Security Service, and Internal Revenue Investigation released a 37 pages reports after investigated Ohtani 's 4~5 years of Ohtani's internet communication records with Ippei interpretor. Ippei stole 16m from Ohtani's bank account! When Ohtani first came to US in 2018, Ippei helped Ohtani to open bank account for Angels salary. Since then Ippei got access of this bank account and lied to Ohtani's agent and agent's accountant that Ohtani wanted to keep the account private while Ohtani thought his agent and accountant were having an eye and checking on his account. Since Ohtani has a lot of endorsement money (98m USD in'23) and other incomes and he hardly spend money in daily life, Ohtani never login in his salary's bank account. Ippei knew well and he changed all contacts of Ohtani's salary account to Ippei's own phone and mailing address. Ippei in 2021 started to stole money from Ohtani's account and transferred money to Ippei's bookie for Ippei's gambling debt payments. When ESPN requested about Ohtani's bank transfers to the illegal bookie, Ippei lied to Ohtani's agent(who communicated everything through Ippei and never hired any other Japanese interpretor to talk to Ohtani till Ohtani called him up directly and told him Ippei lied through other Interpretor). Ippei lied to Ohtani's agent, ESPN reporter/staffs, Dodgers topps, and all Dodgers teammates & coaches in after 1st game team meeting of Seoul series that Ohtani covered him for paying a number of payments to Ippei's bookie. Yet Ohtani didn't know Ippei was gambling illegally and lied to everyone in the meeting because Ippei was talking in English only in that meeting and Ohtani couldn't understand many English terms though Ohtani sensed something wrong and concerning him. Ohtani tried to understand what happened through anothet interpretor in the bus to hotel, yet Ippei told Ohtani to wait till back to hotel to talk to Ohtani personally. Ippei then in the Seoul hotel admitted to Ohtani that Ippei stole money from Ohtani's account to pay Ippei's bookie. It's the first time then Ohtani heard about Ippei bet and stole money from Ohtani's account Ippei even asked Ohtani to COVER Ippei's lies and tried to convince Ohtani to lie along Ippei's story. However, Ohtani immediately refused Ippei and called Ohtani's agent who's in same hotel to come and later joined meeting with Ohtani agent's lawer, Ohtani's emergency lawyer, snd Ippei's wife (who first find out Ippei's lies at this point). Immediately Dodgers tops fired Ippei after discovering Ippei lied to all people and stole millions of money from Ohtani's bank account. I personally able to read and list to Japanese and English. So I probably get a clearer picture than some US reporters and radio MC who don't. In addition, thete is a biased US reporter who has Japanese background, he is an Angel reporter and tried to use Ohtani to sell his book. Yet this reporter keeps spreading conspiracy theories of Ohtani and tries to mislead readers. I hope you are not one of those and hope you would read the FBI report before your next comment since you know good enough English to comprehend the report.

Or get an interpreter

What did Ohtani do??

@@kingrama2727 Nothing. He was cleared by three different federal agencies.

@@twmonkeyboy that’s what I thought, I just wonder why these people keep saying Ohtani got away with something…

450k minus agent fees and taxes. Dude he was playing for like 200k a year. He made a million gambling. Plus his brother plays for Denver nuggets. Plus he placed bets in Colorado. Trust men his brother will float him son cash soon to keep betting

If you hate so much that Shohei is innocent, I suggest you stop crying and prove DOJ, IRS and Homeland Security all wrong instead.

He's not going to be playing anywhere. Nobody will touch this guy. He can't be trusted, that he won't do this to whatever team if given another chance. Also he's most likely going to be indicted by the Federal Government for Conspiracy to Commit Fraud. This is a big deal, it's a felony. A kin to Insider trading. Federal Offense.

The sports betting companies are I assure you.

​​@@scarpfishThe bookies said Why are people betting on this scrub? Which points to why do people care about him....
