Well this is interesting....

Portland Trail Blazers coach Chauncey Billups and Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier were arrested Thursday as part of a pair of investigations related to illegal gambling, sources told ESPN's Shams Charania.

It does not equate him to this scandal but shortly after his championship-NBA I was at Atlantis Resort and at the Blackjack table with CB- the man did love to play…Teri Hatcher was there as well but a different table.

online sports gambling is going to ruin sports.

Billups was a known poker cheat. This is two years old.

Starts at 27:15. The speaker is Matt Berkey. A high stakes professional poker player.

College and pros want to make money off gambling sites and let players place bets , gamblers will make them pay for that

This is another example of legalized gambling helping to crack down on this type of stuff. If those bets are placed with corner bookies or offshore sites, then no one is flagging them. But the legal books are reporting stuff and sharing information, which can then be investigated and caught.

Surely not, but it's just so easy to manipulate stats (or calls) in basketball. Players and refs.

You're so right. You may, like me, have read about the point-shaving scandal at NYU in 1951. The scandal led to NYU retreating from big-time basketball.

Of course, the first major sports gambling scandal was the Black Sox in 1919, so baseball is hardly immune. Neither is football.

After watching the news tonight I'd recommend anyone getting into a high stakes poker game check the table before they play

Nobody should play poker in an underground game for any stakes unless they know most of the ways to spot cheats.

That was dumbfounding and the three parrots next to him just kept nodding their heads in agreement. Any sane person's response would have been, "Are you high Steven or just really stupid?"

SAS is essentially an opinion spewing shock jock...and the people on his round table are mostly ex athletes or ESPIN sports puppets. Most people I know, despise the guy and his style. However to make this about the entire MSM is silly as most outlets are reporting this as the scandal it appears to be and nothing to do with politics.
