I followed the Jontay Porter betting "scandal" the past days but didn't remember your bet was exactly on this guy. So now all of this does look a little suspicious actually.
I know I supported your claim first but seeing this under these new circumstances you must admit your bet looks a bit off and stake was right doing this investigation and holding out on the money.
Your bets we are much smaller until this particular bet where you suddenly bet 7.6k on the under 3.5 rebounds and also a big parley with under 3.5 points on high odds.
So now the question is, did you have insider info or did you just follow the trend? Apparently many accounts on many bookies bet on these exact number.
The DraftKings day-after report said Porter’s under wagers were the night’s biggest money-earners for bettors.
https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2024/mar/26/nba-investigating-raptors-jontay-porter-betting-irregularitiesMight happen that they will void the winnings from these 2 bets (30k$ sayonara). Hopefully only doing this and not say you are part of a "betting syndicate". If this happens you can say goodbye to all your funds and the account.
Of course this will only happen if they actually the NBA will find him guilty of doing this intentionally. Guess this case is far from being over now.
Yea i understand the integrity of the investigation but stake and their sports book partners are very misleading on complaint forum and email.
As much as I would love to have insider information and kill all these sports books unfortunately I was just following trend. Also for the bets in question one of them yes was a prop under 3.5 rebounds combined with the 3.5 point under. The other one was just the under on rebounds. In that game he had 3 rebounds. Not so much of an easy win but very much a nail biter in this situation for me.
Very strange things happening here though as the investigation wasn't brought on by NBA but at request of a sports book. While everyone would love to paint the narrative of a " bet syndicate " that is just very hard to believe. If every time a sports book lost large sums of money they can just claim an investigation and delay pay out that's a very big cause for concern
Another weird example is like yesterdays game with the 76ers and clippers " Officials admit to missed call on final play of Clippers win over 76ers " These things raise even more red flags for me as a sports bettor.
Calls like this were the official admits to missing calls and costing games it really raises the question of where is the information on loosing bets that night for that call. If the sports book feels like they lost a lot of money and will just call for an NBA investigation where is the investigation into these "missed" calls by officials at the gain of a sports book.
While i understand it is a long shot to say the sports books could have some play in games. It also raises the red flags of on big sweep days for the books the only way for a investigation to happen on a team is for a broad public complaint in which will never lead back to the actual books themselves. For the book itself all they have to do is say we lost a lot this is weird.
Meanwhile just like their is calculated odds makers making the odds their are calculated sports cappers picking the correct bets. I'm sure the days that the books are cashing in crazy amounts due to weird irregularities in games nothing is being disclosed about the amount they profited that day.
Anyway back to the point as far as this NBA investigation it really can only go 2 ways. They find him guilty and it completely destroys the integrity of the game and sports betting even more and they void these bets. Or calculated odds where taken on this and the book is being a sore looser and not wanting to pay out. Either way my money has been held for over 2 months. Glad to finally get some answers tho and with these articles coming out it should be a quick resolution as the player is barred from playing until end of investigation.
Also a lot of these sports news sites are sponsored by draft kings ( the book who opened investigation ) so its very hard to get the real perception it seems like a lot of the articles are pretty much smear campaigns. I wonder how much the books really lost on this..
