What was the red flag that lead to an investigation on Jontay Porter? @DavidPurdum explains the process
In the spectrum of dumb gambling schemes, it's going to be hard to top deciding to bet an $80,000 parlay featuring a bunch of unders on a player that typically wouldn't attract $8 in bets on a game and thinking no one will notice.
Jontay Porter has been banned from the NBA after a league investigation multiple violations of its gambling policy. Among the suspicious bets on Porter unders was an $80,000 same-game parlay that would've paid $1.1 million. The sportsbook did not pay the bet, according to the…

A seeming confession from Ippei Mizuhara, via text to a bookmaker, on the day @TishaESPN's story ran.
The criminal complaint against Ippei Mizuhara, the ex-interpreter for Shohei Ohtani, is very sad. It paints the picture of a naïve young man with a gambling addiction, and a bookmaker eager to take advantage. It also shows the opportunity the regulated market has to curtail…
"And again, I think as these unfortunate examples come along, we may have to adjust our rules and our partner gaming companies and those companies that aren't our partners may have to adjust their behavior as well." — Adam Silver Via @TimBontemps espn.com/nba/story/_/id…
Adam Silver says what Jontay Porter is accused of is a “cardinal sin” and that punishment for it could go up to banishment from the league.

@ShipTheJustice @DavidPurdum @gamray @Gugabed @gamblinglamb @joebrennanjr @AdamBjorn2 @DavidowMatthew but isn't this similar to the gun vs mental illness argument. there will likely be addicted personalities in a group of 300+ sample of players, it is whether they have the tools to do some damage no? hard to really fight gambling addiction, it will likely exist regardless.
Every word of this @davehill77 story is all-too familar. And terrifying. And true. dirt.fyi/article/2024/0…
@DavidPurdum @SteveRuddock such a schmuck. and yes. wish I didn't look past that insight and included it! A little personal responsibility and all. Good lesson there!
I also tested a @SteveRuddock theory: Spoiler: he was correct
The Jontay Porter punishment is a victory for legalized sports betting's integrity apparatus, right? The industry might see it that way, but does the general sporting public? @jeffedelstein ponders this question -- and weighs in. sportshandle.com/jontay-porter-…
@DavidPurdum They definitely review a bet like that in real time/approve before it’s accepted. This guy probably thought he was going to win a mil but instead got free rolled for 80k
Some news: This week will be my last covering the Atlanta Falcons for ESPN as I’m moving to our enterprise & investigative unit looking at issues across sports, a job I’m quite excited about. It's been a privilege covering the Falcons the last three years & NFL teams the past 11.
@DavidPurdum I agree society should try but it won't be led by the books. In fact, I believe the more profitable they become, the more they will lobby against any further regulation, which is where the change will have to come from.
NEW POD: Tim Donaghy expert and professor of criminology @spgauthor joins The Finder POD to talk about Jontay Porter, Shohei Ohtani and the rise of betting scandals. Also, a big Donaghy refresher. tomthefinder.com/p/the-finder-p…
@DavidPurdum @richarddeitsch The best. Life would be a lot better if we all got to work with and for Dan Kaufmans.
will say that @ZachLowe_NBA faced a scenario similar to what @jaycaspiankang described and still reported out the Jontay Porter allegations with a great segment featuring @DavidPurdum
Well, this article is pretty clear..good work DP & friends.. If you wonder how things work in the book business, read it ⬇️⬇️
Source says bookmaker Matt Bowyer allowed people to believe Ohtani was a client in order to boost business. "He used to brag about it." w/ @TishaESPN, @pinepaula espn.com/mlb/story/_/id…
Great work by David as usual. The legal sports books have always had to compete with unregulated offshore books. Ones that have lower overhead, offer credit, offer crypto convenience as well. They are also US friendly unlike the European ones. Still this is a fluid story.

Happy Friday and #FF to the 7 people I ❤️ to follow on Twitter. @SarahSpain @contessabrewer @waynekimmel @DerekJStevens @howardstutz @DavidPurdum @BFawkes22 Have a great weekend #GTLivechat
Fantastic job by @DavidPurdum on the role "credit," may have played in Bowyer's bookmaking operation. Illegal books have an edge on regulated counterparts in extending credit to clients who won't pay upfront. Bowyer has been on the feds' radar since '19 @sports_handle reported.

@DavidPurdum I also acknowledge the great work you do and see your recent retweet from Covers on this topic. I do not intend to come across as adversarial. Cheers.
The Jontay Porter prop betting situation and overarching issues are nuanced. Headlines, tweets, hot-take clips can't do it justice. Thought this podcast @DrewDinkmeyer & @MikeSGallagher did yesterday was well done. They're actually betting NBA player props every day. Free…
