I wonder what the NBA would have done or do if this was someone like Lebron James or an upcoming superstar like Wembanyama. Someone like Jontay Porter is essentially a nobody, so it's easy to just lifetime ban him to send a message

There's a strong suspicion that the case with Ohtani, he just had his translator take the fall as reasonable doubt

For those who don't know about Porter, he was a bench rider for the Raptors who had millions in bets on Fan Duels. He and his friends made prop bets on stuff like will Porter make a 3, they would bet no, and Porter would tank it so they could cash

Coincidentally, the Raptors also have the worst record ATS in the NBA this year

I think anyone betting millions would be banned even if it was LeBron ect. Ohtani will get the special treatment because he is something baseball hasn't seen in a while. The translator will get all the blame and they are good with that.

I'm pretty certain there are more guys smarter than Porter doing this. If they use offshore accounts it's much harder to trace. If Porter was able to do this without detection for who knows how many games, why couldn't others who are more intelligent and careful about it?

There is no strong suspicion with Ohtani lol.

you right, it's all but proven as fact at this point

Just like your retardedness.

Think about it. Would the MLB really allow a mega star to get exposed?

In the same way, if say LeBron were really gambling on props or games, they would just pin it on somebody like Rich Paul to avoid the integrity of the league taking a massive blow... it's obvious

Imagine Otani pitching game 7 of Dodgers World Series 8 Inning 1 Run allowed and hit 2 Run Homer winning 2-1 and the World Series. That will be Legendary

The FBI has audio of his interpreter requesting money transfers from banks pretending to be Ohtani

nah, those are clearly ohtani pretending to be his interpreter pretending to be ohtahni

this guy acting like he never seen a double double cross
