Bookie:
$ 10,650.00
And apparently he lost 96% of the bets he made. Bad gambler, but a lifetime ban is so fucking stupid
 
honestly never heard of this guy🤷‍♂️

The question is... Did he bet against his own team then proceed to attempt to throw the game? If so, then a ban is warranted. Anything short of that, I agree that banning players for gambling is dumb.

Even then, let locker room justice do its thing, but I don’t think he ever saw the field enough to throw games

Slippery slope. That's hockey mentality and I like it, but it could go completely the opposite way. The gambler could convince more players to bet against their team and therefore more successfully throw games for the direct and immediate financial lucrativeness of it.

It might work for the AAAA players and guys making the minimum salary, no established or future star player is gonna risk getting their 8-9 figure contract or forfeit part of their current contract for a long suspension/ban
 
Honestly, he might be the worst gambler of all time. I think his impressive ineptitude at gambling is punishment enough.

I’ve never heard of anyone going 0-25.

Easy to say and makes logical sense, but it's not entirely true. Far too often, people with addiction problems repeatedly succumb to those problems against all logic. They throw away their careers they worked hard to achieve because they can't control themselves against those vices.

Then they can serve their suspension and lose their pay too. We ain’t here to hold anyone’s hand.

And given this dude is easily the worst gambler I’ve ever read about, I doubt he’s gonna convince anyone to follow his lead

People probably said that about Pete Rose when he was getting busted.
 
How dumb are these people for getting caught. It’s not like Shohei betting millions so get a friend to do it, don’t sign up on a betting site.

My educated guess without more info would be that he went 0-25 on parlays that included those games?
