Has any of you heard about Malik Beasley's federal investigation in a case about his possible involvement in rigging games and possibly betting on his own game as well? For those who are not familiar with him, he is an NBA player who supposed to have a good contract for the next season with the Detroit Pistons. He is not the first player in the NBA to do this though. There were several who got banned already and I think some of them had a jail time.

This is a prime example of how gambling could ruin any career if greed takes over and self discipline is mismanaged. The Detroit Pistons was reportedly ready to offer Beasley a three-year, $42 million contract and he blew it, possibly permanently if his proven guilty of this accusation.

There have been a lot of cases already about a person who got greedy in gambling and eventually got broke. So, this right here serves another lesson that we need to control ourselves when we engage into gambling.

I was expecting to read about how he use all his hustled money on gambling and he is now broke again but instead it was another thing entirely, he was a mastermind of fraud and greed, to me this has nothing to do with gambling.

In this case, gambling stand on its own, unaffected, this man isn't a victim of gambling but that of a criminal master mind.

Don't get it confused, a rigger isn't a gambler, they are trying to bend the result to their own will, this makes them no gambler but cheaters, if truly these happened then I don't care what comes off it.

He should be ready to fully accept the harsh punishment that comes with it, you can't cheat your way out and still believe that you are a gambler, its two different things.

Being a player and gambling is not the main crime, but when there are suspicious steps or moves that makes a player feels he is smart enough to play on the intelligence of the people by being cunny in his doings, how do they got to know that his bet was not an ordinary one, why should he also gamble with what could cause him to lose reputation and trust, he wouldn't have gamble in such manner, if i were him.
