The NBA’s Sports Gambling Issue Is Worse Than You Think 

Is sports gambling ok, or should it be illegal?

All refs need to be mic'd up.

Thats why Las Vegas should Never get a Sports Franchise.

refs can bet on games, players cannot bet on games. by the way i see so many ads for gambling sites when watching stuff about the nba its insane, what do they expect?

The NBA is totally in on sports gambling. There is no need to speculate when it's part of the NBA experience already, even some youtubers that make NBA content sometimes advertise for betting on players' production and game outcomes on smartphone apps. The NBA has tranformed into a gambling mafia.

The scary thing is that Porter and his associates got caught because they were idiots. But not all players are idiots....

I don't mind if people bet on sports and I've even considered it from time to time, but what really bothers me is how all the major sports lately are aggressively trying to push sports gambling on casual viewers. If someone wants to gamble on games then its something that they should seek out instead of seeing an ad every three seconds while watching a basketball game until they finally break. It's taking advantage the growing economic instability of working class people looking for a way out. It feels like we're moving away from sports existing for the sake of game and towards a future where sports' main purpose is to be a means for people to gamble away their meager earnings so that these betting apps can walk away rich. Either that or it's a house of cards waiting to fall apart once one too many people bet their kids college fund on a parlay and the government shuts it all down.

No cap, I thought this was a sponsor event 😂

Adam Silver looks like the final boss but after defeating him the "real" boss will spawn from the background.

I'm glad that I stopped betting on sports

speaking of gambling: over/under for how many minutes into this video this guy can't make it without complaining about steph not getting calls? i'd set it at 4 minutes, and i'll play the over.....but i'm not super confident

We've had sports betting in the rest of the world for decades and we have occasional problems.There has never literally been a single top football player in the UK Ever caught match fixing or betting. The problem is in lower leagues where there is less scrutiny and more incentive to do it

I will not be surprised if Lakers will make the series a game 7, win or lose against Nuggets.

Gambling is for sure terrible. I didn't know the example shown at 10:09 *The video was released 33 seconds ago

Gambling should be illegal if it's unnecessarily complicated and in favor of the house.

the nba knows the narratives are greater than the game. it's wrestling now.

Yep. That's why God said gambling is prohibited.

hey hoops, if you have prize picks take a look at how many times the top play never ever wins. 100 thousand plus people bet on it and it never ever hardly hits

I had a 13 leg parlay and i placed 5 bucks jus for lsu to loose and I believe lsu threw the game away

2:33 draymond e😭jection

Thanks for covering this. How can corruption not happen (not to mention gross conflict of interest) when a sports organization becomes an official partner of a gambling organization?

I have heard that if a player owes money to his bookie, the bookie can put pressure on him to fix games.

That is a full on slap on the face for the NBA and silver. You are right they couldn't control Harden's Foul baiting there is no way they can control the betting scene.

Good video thanks

That why they rig the games

Guarantee you Silver is getting a large piece of the gambling pie. No chance he's not getting some

Every basketball team has a "partner" casino a sponsor a betting website partner

Great vid tbh

Watch the 2002 Lakers / Kings western conference finals and tell NBA basketball isn’t corrupt this series was comically ridiculous and nothing’s changed no one was fired no one was investigated.

"over 100 hours annually"? bruh, thats less than 2h per week, like, you watch one game per week? you mean 1000h, right? or 100h per month? something like that at least...

Greed is one hell of a drug.

The Mob(Vegas) controls it all. Joe Pesci in Casino says it best. He says what the fuck do you think we’re doing in the middle of the desert? Sports is entertainment.

DLo probably betting that he wouldn't score a single point last night or he just sucks 😂

While i understand the logic of players not being allowed to bet on the sport they are playing, if these incidents keep occuring will it end up being that professional athletes won't be allowed to bet on any sports (including sports they aren't playing) while they are playing.

Says the NBA has a gambling problem and also says he doesn't gamble, but then goes on to say he put on a bet.And shows people how to gamble.

I hate gambling. Imagine all the creativity and ingenuity that's lost cuz people think they can cheatcode their way to a fortune. If people put all that gambling brainpower into doing things to better society, then everyone would win.

He wasn't banned because he was betting, he was banned because he got caught.

3 year $5+ million contract vs. Gambling $22,000+ 😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂

2:38 i just hit a 7 leg on Boston Miami turn a couple bucks into a couple hundred

As someone who has spent a lot of time betting on all the sports, I can tell you that the NBA is the hardest to bet on. There is often seemingly no rhyme or reason to the results.

An athletic opportunity many dream of. It's so heavy the betrayal of the fans the way he went about it.

Re-upload..??

I was gonna say first, but goop reports beat me to it

Gambling is not problem, problem is in scripting games for gambling purposes, which NBA enterTAINTment is all about. Guy that was banned for life is just an actor who was payed for that role to be scapegoat...Don't feel bad for him, his bank account is probably significantly enlarged.

Delusional issue is worse than you think. Hoop Reports~ come out to play~

Don't click on this video, It's basically a step by step tutorial on how to gamble

It’s crazy that he already was making some good money, then since he was getting more playing time - he would be able to make even more money

The only reason the players are ok with doing this is because they know those above them are doing the same thing.

Donahey was the fall guy. The nba still got a problem

As a person with common sense… 1:38… yes it’s rigged

If one day these betting companies reach out to you i would not blame you. Because everyone does it. I am just dumbfounded cause in Australia sports gambling is now being closely monitored by the government- totally opposite in America. Imagine that guy who put $25 that got lucky but who knows maybe he actually lost already that much he won. So people who promote gambling like Drake i see their demise is sooner.

I feel like they can track anomalies in bettin so good that they be hookin each other up and we ain't got no idea on how 2 stop it we gotta basically be in on it. Then when i remember that the NBA is filed as a ENTERTAINMENT league and literally got partnerships wit sportsbooks i would def use my refs 2 rig games cuz how u gon stop it catch me. The report only make ppl mad it a ain't consequences or enforcement on the rules of the game fr

Someone actually won a bet = red flag... hmm wonder if the are ever concerned about people losing big bets?

I think this is actually proof their efforts are working to weed out the losers who would bet on their own games. They caught Porter pretty fast, and he’s done now.

Jontay 😢😢😢

But what if he was just being took out of the game but his coach not his doing

Nba more than ever promote sports gambling and its so bad for the warriors

Next year the warriors will be back in business

0:33 I wish he came back to the warriors

My new tin foil hat is the refs bet the under/over on player turnovers. Also turnovers can call offensive foul counts as turnover. As don’t call travel because they got the under lol

Well dah! I think this was projected and predicted.

that's why i'm about 2 quit watching NBA

Klank Thompson catching strays

Can’t forget LA dodgers vs Huston Astros. I’m sure someone was putting money on them knowing they were cheating.

And here the NBA is signing a new broadcast deal with a gambling company, ESPN!

Tim Donahee snitched on Stern FIXING the the 2000 and 2002 WCF for Shaq and Kobe. Portland and Sacramento fans aren't worthy in David Sterns greedy mind.

Minimum salary is in millions of dollar, why would porter risk it all for few thousand. Doesn't add up.

Adam Silvers himself is a personification of money grabbing goblin. NBA has become more less exciting and less of a game to become champions with pride under him.

Only over 100 hours? Your math has to be way off here.

Ref.are also gambling but official are blind

Jontay needs to face prison time.

How MPJ is still playing like a stud right now after one bro goes to prison for like 7 years and the other bro gets lifetime ban

All last year playoff I was betting straight 25 legs out of 16 bets 12 of them was 24 good nd 1 off now Ik why I kept losing by one fucking nba players rigging the game I figured much

Bro be careful the nba might come after you. There is no difference between the NBA and the mafia. But in all seriousness, I feel your pain. Despite you being a Kobe Bryant fan , turn warriors fan. Nobody, and I mean no one gets you more than me. Because I am like you. Im a Kobe's fan turned warriors fan who should be a laker fan but decided to rock it with the dubs. However, dont worry I will not pull an eminem stan. I dont think you and I should be together. 😂😂😂😂. You make videos that are well analyzed videos despite coming from a warriors fan. I like you use the warriors as a barometer. When I see how a team does against the warriors that tells me how good they are. The warriors in my eyes, still were 2 steps ahead of everybody in the league. But for some reason my man a combination of poor refereeing, with the warriors shooting themselves on the foot kept the warriors from making it to the playoffs. My suspicions are that the NBA has been gotten by Bangkok. 😂😂😂what I mean is the nba is in bed with monsters in the dark world of betting. Think about it beating which team you think you can generate the most money. The geniuses in Vegas know the warriors still have the edge vs most teams so betting for the warriors to lose make money. Vast amounts of money bro. I have watched basketball faithfully since 2002. And I prided my self on being able to predict outcomes and champions just by watching a few key games from teams. When I saw the way klay and steph and the warriors did in game 6 of the 2016 wcf I knew this was no ordinary team. In front of my eyes I was watching one of the greatest teams of all time akin to Jordan's bulls, or Shaq and Kobe's lakers. But the NBA proceeded games 5 through 7 of the 2016 finals to just straight up cheat and have the warriors lose. Draymond's suspension. The 6 fouls on the unanimous MVP in game 6. Some day all of that will come to light. Some whistleblower will shed light and when that documentary comes out I hope I'm alive because I will watch the crap out of that video like 100 times. My blood pressure is going to kill me if I'm alive because of how much salty popcorn I will chug down while repeatedly binge watching that. The NBA has cheated you are not crazy I saw it too. I watched 64 plus warriors games this season. And the missed calls, and close calls barely went the warriors way. And still we managed to win 46. Steph curry is right behind kobe is mj, kobe, and steph I just hope he could get st least one more to obliterate the doubters and LeStans.

It's all about the money

This man just single handedly removed my support for sports. I’ve gotta stop watching sports.

A fool and his money will soon be parting.

If you don’t gamble ya opinion is automatically invalid

its rigged. Refs are getting kickbacks

I bet on Draymond getting edjected 😂😂

ahahaha, funny video, there is no reason why nba wouldnt be scripted...

HR said he “invests over 100 hrs to watching nba games”. Bro, you spend half your life haha

I bet that this videos about gambling

now that the scary truth cringe videos are not longer possible, bro is copying from am hoop reports

I bet this is also the lakers’ fault

only 62 likes in 20 minutes, bro fell off😔😔

15 minute gang

first
