- Everyone knows who Jontay Porter is after the fringe NBA player was caught up in a gambling scandal. Betting companies noticed unusual activity and now Porter is under investigation. This is a look at how the player got caught and what happens next.

A gambling ad on the video about a gambling scandal. Very ironic.
it’s unreal how normalized it is. anyone that makes sport related content puts a sponsorship in their vids
Sad thing is that we know the target audience is people just old enough to gamble or kids getting of age
yo this is crazy
Pay TH-cam. #endtheads
i knew it would he one before i even clicked haha
Jontay porter took fred vanvleets “bet on urself” advice too seriously 😭
What a comment lol
To bad he never played with Fred…and doesn’t even know him 😂
He took it literally 🤣
He walked so porter could trip and fall
You cut and pasted this bs from reddit for likes.
That clip of Jontay trying to avoid grabbng a rebound like it's the plague is wild lol
Yoooo drew finney!!!
Don’t Overthink It
Yo don’t let people persuade you that Tom Brady’s the goat.
Learned that move from Ben Simmons
Don’t overthink it.
When the house loses, then they complain about the irregularities.
Right! Went snitching to the NBA😂😂
Yes indeed.

@@biggydaman69 u pumping yo shares G??
@@TheCuttyBrown was just trying to give another example of when the house loses then the investigations begin.
Gambling is out of control and almost every outlet talking about sports, including this channel is benefiting from it. It's bad for sports and bad for society. Having gambling be legal is one thing. Having it be promoted EVERYWHERE is ridiculous. This will end careers and long term hurt sports in general if some serious regulations aren't put on all these sports books
i absolutely agree with this comment
The nba does it on purpose, look at lakers games refs give the +10 free throws
i think it should be treated like smoking in regards to advertising. Maybe the next generation will look back and laugh when they see old casino commercials, like we do about old smoking ads.
Agreed, but if it's legal, then this is what you get. I think it was better when it was legal only in a few select places. And, obviously, leagues shouldn't be getting paid by gambling companies. If everyone else gets paid by gambling companies - okay. The league itself, obvious conflict of interest.
Bingo
He done for homeboy really betting on himself
😂😂😂
betting AGAINST himself lmaooo
fr thats crazy 😂
@@cp3isBetterThanDroseits easier to do that
@@cp3isBetterThanDrose 😂😂 he probably is making splits higher than his salary
Guess how many players are doing it
Calling Ohtani the "Wembanyama of baseball" is a huge insult to Ohtani. Wemby is physically amazing and has excellent potential to be the face of the league in the near future, but Ohtani is coming off three all time special seasons and is a multiple time unanimous MVP. He is far more accomplished than Wemby at this point.
and one is 20 and one is 29, so it just doesn't make sense
I do agree that it's the wrong comparison but I feel like getting upset about it is missing the forest for the trees.
Bro, relax. It's not that serious.
Wemby sus af
While I agree its not that serious and was just an offhand comment without much thought... it's definitely wrong upon any kind of inspection lol
Sports betting is ruining the NBA.
NBA has always been rigged
Sports betting has always been apart of the NBA lol. Especially in the past where it was easier to get away with.
@@emilfrederiksen.1622 yeah but they dont have apps that are easily accessible plus nba and nba podcasts like Gil are being sponsored by FanDuel and Prizepicks
@@emilfrederiksen.1622 It has but technology has made it way more profitable and rampant. Think about how many creators have sports betting as their sponsor. While before sports betting was a thing i would estimate only a percent of a percent actually bet in games. Now its just expected as a normal thing that i bet most people themselves partake in or know someone that does.
Sports betting is stupid in general, the EV is always negative
Just bet in person with your friends, not with randos online
Adam Silver's embrace of sports betting is destroying the NBA. This was inevitable, and now, anytime a player plays poorly or has a random non obvious injury, we are forced to question if betting is involved.
Bro. He was obviously betting tho why yall acting like he wasn’t😂😂😂
@@ndn4203obviously he was but let’s say a fringe play plays bad now we don’t know if it’s betting or just them being trash
Yes! Ruining the league. That’s why they’re raising the salary cap and recording record profits, right?
He only cares about money like the rest of his tribe.
@@ndn4203nobody is acting like that, I’m acting like why the fuck is the NBA allowing gamblinng
Gambling will eventually blow up in the these sports leagues face. This is only the beginning and people are already very suspicious that they are corrupt beyond repair.
Can you explain more?
@@Truthman45 More of these occurrences will happen and public perception of these leagues will plummet. In the end, they will either turn into a corrupt league catering towards degenerate gamblers, or salvage their integrity and appeal to actual sports fans whose loyalty lasts a lifetime rather than who they decided to throw money on that evening. At a minimum, prop betting needs to be banned. It’s much more difficult to corrupt the outcome of an entire game. One reason Boxing lost its status as a sport was obvious and blatant corruption because the sport catered to gamblers and not actual boxing fans.
I like your TH-cam channel and all but to have a sports gambling sponsor as a basketball channel is showing your no better than the nba either. Money talks and bs walks
The other choice is pharma, or the- rapists or body grooming stuff, or hair loss drugs that require taking Viagra combo shills. He's gotta get his script some way.
You don’t pick your advertisers guy. The youtube algorithm does it. If the video is about sports gambling in key timeframes, the AI will assign similar advertisers. Guess you thought all these millions of youtube videos posters get a catalog of advertisers and they pick and choose the ones they want ? Have some sense
@@sneakersda2199He’s not referring to the ads by TH-cam, this vlogger promotes gambling thru legal NBA betting websites. Just watch his videos and you’ll see what he means.
@@sneakersda2199 i think he’s referring to other videos of his, alot of them are sponsored by underdog, some bettingsite
@@sneakersda2199I'm guessing you're new to this channel
This is what you promote in every video. Pushing a potential addiction to children and ruining the league.
👀
Better than promoting weed or alcohol though.
@@Waxedupwill thats like someone dying to a gun shot and saying “at least he wasn’t beheaded”
Take it easy on weed.
@@Waxedupwill Weed is way better for you than gambling.
Dont support gambling guys. It ruins games and lives.
It’s fun and I need extra money
Have fun with that mentality.
I agree. Very few people could turn a profit gambling. Not in your favor.
The great Aladdin once said,
"You're only in trouble if you get caught."
*gets caught*
"I'm in trouble!!!"
A Raps fan, Porter was looking like a solid starter for awhile. But his extreme inconsistency was wild.
Now it makes a lot more sense...
Where’s the PrizePicks ad?!
You mean underdog 😂
Lol
He is very known these days. I bet they told him NO, not this video 😂😂. The NBA is well aware of his channel. Prize picks don't wanna hurt they bag lmao.
Casey’s journalism background shining through again, it’s part of what sets this channel apart
what sets this channel apart is its dedication to a morally good league! without endless betting spoonsors etc.! oh wait...he does it every video every time for more than a minute
how much?
@@MF-lp5lq Let the man get his bag, he works hard.
@@MF-lp5lqthe betting is not the problem - rigging your stats to make sure that your parlays will hit is the problem.
His channel is nothing but overreaction and clickbaiting, absolutely nothing sets his channel apart
You’re a promoter of this gambling stuff bro…
he said he’s not trying to be no bias and he is not rigging gambling like these rich ppl do
All these basketball channels are. Flight Mike the worst.
@@blue1469you seriously don't think this guy is making bank promoting sports betting? Dumbazz.
@@blue1469 Right... That's like people promoting games with predatory micro transactions and then saying they don't support their business model.
Gambling isn't illegal...
A correction: Othani is not the Wemby of the MLB, he's at least the Jokiç of the MLB.
Excellent video as always! I'm less concerned with fringe players fixing games, than referees fixing games, because they will never make what players make, and can affect the pace and the outcome of the game in subtle ways throughout the course of the game. The danger of fixing elements of the game is amplified by the fact that you can bet on almost anything throughout the game, so individual things like the over/under for a quarter, or a player prop for a half could be manipulated without really standing out.
The NBA already gives mandates on what it wants officials to call/not call, but in the last month we've seen games where the totals ranged from 152 (Sixers 79, Knicks 73) to 295 (Lakers 150, Pacers 145 (no OT)), that seems like an extremely wide range, and can't be solely due to the energy levels of the respective teams.
The fact is that NBA games (and other sports as well) have gotten significantly weirder since gambling was legalized and became more prevalent. The microscope on referees has intensified, the injury reports started resembling those of the NFL and the players have started taking days off for load management to the point where the NBA had to put into effect rules to keep them from sitting out too many. We've seen unexpected late scratches of players, and games where half the team is listed as DTD so you have no idea how many key players will be out.
You don't have to rig every play to rig a game against too evenly matched teams. Just a couple of little calls here and there can make the difference, and swing the odds and momentum in the favor of one over another,
Love the use of footage from The Sting for the crimmy parts
My dad was a gambling addict, it almost ruined our family and we ended up moving from the city to a more rural area when I was very young to escape the loansharks and temptations of gambling dens. He managed to recover, but removing the ability to gamble was key
You do realize that you can’t actually remove the ability for someone to gamble, right? If your dad stopped, it’s because he developed the discipline he needed to stop. Where there’s a will to gamble, a person will find a way.
@@enohp660 That was the whole point, you can't remove someone's ability to gamble now because its gamified on their phone, back then you had to be in close proximity to gambling dens, bookies, loansharks and casinos to gamble, thus moving to a place without those things facilitated recovery. Your logic is pretty flawed, that's like telling an opiate addict that moving to a secluded cabin with no dealers around won't help them, they just need to "cultivate discipline". These addictions alter your brain chemistry, I grew up on the West Coast and there isnt a recovered addict in the world that won't tell you that you need a change of scenery as well as a change of mindset to recover, thats why online betting apps are so dangerous
The NBA is getting really stupid 🤦
Yup
Dude is getting paid a good bag but...yeah let's do betting 🙄
it was always stupid remember that ref betting on games back in the 2000s
@@raptorfromthe6ix833go watch his interview with DJ Vlad
Ngl segue-ing into an Underdog ad wouldve been hilarious
This is why I don't use any sports betting app. It's all crooked. The moment they legalized gambling in sports. It's ruined all the integrity of sports imo.
Sports have been manipulated for gambling well before it was legal.
This is by far the best video out there on this subject..great video
First time seeing your videos
Good job man
Jontay also runs a $49 private discord that gives stock advice and bettign advice on ncaa and some nba games. Its possible that high rollers of the discord got in on the porter unders in question.
A discord is crazy 😭😭
Whaaaaaaaat
sounds cap to me
@@iBladeSwifx i have all the screen shots
if this doesn't prove NBA is rigged still, I don't know what will
I think the NBA will probably throw Jontay out permanently if the allegations are true to show themselves as being a league of integrity. Future stars in such a situation would probably see their scandals swept under the rug like Michael Jordan's were in the 90s.
They definitely will
Micheal Jordan did not bet on himself tho. He got into a controversy for sports betting with a criminal and owing him money. But thats it lol.
Oh U think, lmao
I dont think jordan would ever bet against himself lol
@@emilfrederiksen.1622proof he didn't
Thank god Casey uploaded, I was looking for some quality content to cure my boredom
I bet that if the better was losing the casino and gambling sportbooks wouldn't give a heck about it
Makes ya kinda wonder why Draymond got himself tossed out of the game at under 4 minutes into the game. I wouldn't put it past him to do it for gambling purposes.
Getting paid 400k to barely play in the NBA borderline sounds better than what the top guys have. Youre not too famous for it to really be a bother, and you make enough money to live a comfortable life. And lets be real if most of his friends are millionaires he probably gets his tabs covered a good amount.
After taxes, union fees, retirement, agent fees etc he probably gets half of that.
Currently playing in Toronto a city that is expensive as hell.
@@robertheadley3483 Ur not gonna sit there and tell me 400k isn't a sufficient salary for someone who plays 40 minutes a season. That guy can still comfortably retire early on that salary alone, forgetting about the sponsor deals I'm sure he gets.
@@ZombieBacon13 no one making 400k in the NBA is getting sponsor deals. there's no way he can retire early either unless he gets a pay increase cause anyone making 400k in the NBA is 1 game away from making $0 in the NBA.
@@templarknight7 You must be real shit with money. And ofc companies are gonna hit his instagram. Maybe not Amazon but theres no chance every NBA player hasn't gotten offered a deal at some point in time.
You can't retire early on 400k per year.
Taxes and fees take away half.
Your time in the league is not guaranteed.
I disagree when you say that most his tabs are being covered by his friends. Anyone with an ounce of pride would not put himself in a leaching position.
I'm not saying he's justified for what he did. But basically he ain't rich. He's rich poor
Yooo, I love your vids!
Anyone else find it funny that the Lakers free throw differential the last 2 years (including playoffs) is +1,017 while the 2nd place team is the Knicks at +358 then the Bucks in 3rd at +344??? If that isn't the NBA itself completely cheating to make sure LeFraud gets into the playoffs I don't know what is.
So everything’s lebrons fault?dont talk sports
@@CMC_editzzz At what point of me insinuating that the "NBA" is setting him up for success is blaming him for it??? Learn to read please, and I will continue to talk sports as I see fit, but thanks for your input lol.
@@graham5990 u called him lefraud💀
@@CMC_editzzz Yes I did because I can't stand the guy, but in no way was that an accusation of him. My gripe with the free throw issue is with the NBA and it's officials not him. He has nothing to do with what the refs do and don't call (as far as I know) but never once was I accusing that of being his fault he is just the beneficiary of said calls.
@@graham5990 oh mb
The fact that gambling support hotlines are routed to fast food restaurants is crazy
Damn fr😂😂
NBA already with some calling it the RBA and the incredible discrepancy in free-throw attempts for the Lakers
❤❤❤❤thank you for making a vid on the raps
Good job explaining the story and how relevant it is *right now* (especially ohtani but all low level nba players_VERY_ likely targets too). Seems like the bigger sports gambling gets the bigger the concerns are rather than it somehow being "brought into the light" &carefully regulated
Betting is illegal but the refs controlling the tempo and outcome of games is completely fine.
what really sucks is that I truly love this channel but you're 100% a part of the problem. It's sad and ruins the integrity of your journalism. Your bias and sponsorships do not go hand in hand and have destroyed my view of what this channel really stood for. REAL JOURNALISM. You need to stop being a shill for these gambling companies and have some pride in what you created without them, Casey. It truly is sad.
Great video .. Thanks for explaining what’s going on!
Imagine fumbling a $2.3M bag contract over a $21K bet. 🤦🏿♂️😬😂
Comparing Ohtani to Wemby is super disrespectful to Ohtani
Rly? What can this guy do? Hit the ball without a bat?
@@user-zr3vb1rx2q he's a 2 way player. the last person to be successful in that was Babe Ruth in 1919.
And he is obviously way better than Babe Ruth. There is no comparison to him. Let alone someone whose just a physical freak of a player.
Wemby is a superior prospect. He is the greatest prospect in any sport by far. It's insane to compare him to Ohtani. Wemby is in the running to be dpoy, leads the league in blocks and is averaging the most points as a rookie. He routinely does things we have never seen. Lmao at the comparison. Basketball players can impact the game way more than anyone else in other sports. Never compare the two again. It's moronic and you sound like an idiot.

Was so effing difficult to find a concise, detailed report on this ban. Before this video, every report I read / heard simply regurgitated the same, uninformative BS from the AP wire.
THANK YOU for this. Now I finally know the WHOLE story. (Well, a LOT of the story anyway. Not sure anyone ever knows the entire story.)
NBA is Rigged you all know that
Really everything is rigged in this world. Believe it or not that thing that happened in Baltimore with the bridge was pre-planned... that's why my trust is in Jesus.
*CAN'T TRUST ANYONE WITH A NAME LIKE JONTAY LOL*
Dejontay Murray can't be trusted 😆
@@Gurenn83 Literally lol
Be careful, the left might try and cancel you.
I remember Dejounte Murray had a discount on his points on Prizepicks on St patty’s day. He went over and I won but how he hit the over on his points prop was just so suspicious. Literally the hawks were up and they took all the starters out besides Murray and he hit his point prop in garbage time with two free throws then he got a personal foul and finally got subbed out right after hitting those free throws. Earlier in the day they released a Jokic and Rozier discount. Jokic was one of the three that didn’t hit their over on those discounts, and to me my lil theory is if murray didn’t hit his over, a lot of people would delete that app so they def made a call before or during the game to make sure he went over and they also like that viewership money so they had him hit in the last quarter with very little time left in the game. I have many instances where I placed a bet and it hit and it didn’t feel “real”. One of those instances was a jahmir Gibbs TD during the nfc championship game with the lions vs 49ers. Somehow I just knew deep down he would score a TD and the 49ers just let him walk right in and I was like ok Buddy that sureeee seemed real. Remember I won these bets and something just seemed so off about those wins.
After Murray hit that discount I just knew I was done spending my own money on these gambling sites and it’s not even worth it anymore. Idk about y’all but some stuff that happens in sports don’t even seem real to me anymore.
Anyways just want to wish y’all a great day and stay blessed!
Before pumping up your next video, would be nice to give us an outcome on this one. What happened to Jontay porter?
This aged well!
Adam Silver is a clown. He won't do anything.
The worst commissioner in history. Dude sucks
He banned Porter. Does that count?
Before gambling was allowed, the gambler, the "company", and the player holds the responsibility. But now, it's only the players responsibility. The company is simply saying "Hey i lost money, therefore this player must be rigged" to issue an investigation to ruin a player's life. Imagine this happening in the finals and this could very likely affect the final result.
As for Porter, nba analysts aren't stupid. Gambling legalized or not, they can at least know he is hurting the team instead of helping the team. He ain't getting contracts and this is the ultimate punishment.
Surprisingly warm take: Professional sports is pro wrestling now
LMAO you made my day.
Obviously underdog is a sponsor of my channel
Champ the cavs coach came out this week and said I quote his life is being threatened by bookies ...
That is what happens when you normalize something like this
I thought the Ohtani scandal explanation sounded ridiculous as well. lol
I think it's unlikely a top 100 player would get involved in something like this. They get paid so much that it's worth so much more to them to just play well and get a big contract payday.
I don’t know about this particular case, but there have been several in cricket, snooker and football in past years.
With the AI that betting companies now have, and even with their previous statistical models, you just can’t win outside of the standard deviations and not get caught.
A player might underperform in half of their stats over a whole season, or bowl a no-ball in cricket on the 4th ball of an over, miss the cut in 3 consecutive golf tournaments or make two rebounds in a game twice in a row when you usually get 8+ , but the odds of that happening at the same time that someone is laying huge bets on it are basically zero, and the computer will flag you every time.
Everyone engaging in sports betting should be ashamed about this. You enabled this.
that's like saying "everyone who drinks alcohol enables drunk driving"
@@ThurstonWattfalse equivalency. You can blame drunk drivers who brag about drunk driving for the incidents. You can gamble with yo homeboys but dont go out there promoting gambling sites to random people like this channel does with prizepicks, fanduel and stake.

Yep. That's why I can't watch it anymore.
Why didn’t we start the video with this is Michael porter jrs brother” lmao
From this point onward.
With the rise of professional sports betting.
I'd treat professional sports just like professional wrestling.
Where matches are predetermined towards particular players or teams.
What happens if one of the top players gets caught gambling? They will quietly retire and try playing baseball for a few years.

😂😂
No he bet against himself. It's way worse
Shout out Othani, I’m glad your representing the Dodgers well and so soon😂
Do you guys know that this has been happening all this time?
Nba gambling in Europe was always legal, but you guys (in the comment section didn't know that) that doesn't mean that Nba players didn't bet on themselves. This has been happening since forever..
Great video Casey! Keep up the good work.
Shout out scott foster
Legalised gambling in the US -> bye bye US.
I remember when gambling was legalised in the state of Victoria in Australia back in the mid 90's. The then head of World Vision Australia, Reverend Tim Costello, spoke out against it claiming that it will ruin peoples lives (gambling addictions leading to broken marriages, increase in domestic violence, increase in crime, increase in permanent self harm). He was laughed at and ridiculed, written off as a religious do gooder. 10 to 20 years later, he was proven right.
FYI, I was 17 when they legalised gambling in Victoria, and it ruined my life till I found Jesus
"finding Jesus" = gambling to get into Heaven.
@@ThurstonWatt Disliked. Why troll, weakling?
@@ThurstonWatt In that sense, everyone "gambles" with whatever their worldview is. Max is just saying that actual gambling was leading to despair and after "betting" on a different worldview he's found fulfillment. If you're not a Christian and satisfied with your bet then good for you.
When you base your life on a scripture with clear contradictions then you're gambling with your afterlife.
Low Level NFL Players
*shows DHop*
Ahh, so THAT'S what's going on with Porter and Ohtani. Thanks for this very good breakdown...yea its looking bad for them right now
He just received a Lifetime Ban from the NBA!
Gambling was better when it was illegal
Just look at the Lakers -Pacers game.. The amount of freethrows 43-16.. 7 fouls called against the Pacers after LB and AD talked for 30 seconds with the refs...I keep wondering..is this the WWE?
They try to get the total of the game to 300 and almost succeeded
Rumor has it Richaun Holmes had some fishy prop action last night. He left the game after stubbing his toe running...yes literally stubbed his toe
can someone make a compilation of players making weird plays to save the parlay? i’ve seen a lot this season that people just forgot about the next day which i don’t understand why when this is a serious issue.

He's MPJ's younger brother
@@JohnnyYeet123-sr8xk omg 😂
Did you even watch the video? 2:40 🤦♂
Yes I watch the video genius it's still just funny to me
I can’t eat a meal without watching ur videos bruh
This is a crazy story 🔥
Dude says the mafia was begging it like it’s the 1960s lol.
Or... the mafia was a part of the roots of the NBA and it didn't just lose those connections?
😂😂😂😂 The tone shift in this report, especially as he approaches the acknowledgment of his sponsor!😅😅😅 Wow man, journalism ethics out the window!
It's so good that betting is legal. This must've happened a ton in the '70s, '80s, etc and without the NBA and the people taking the bets working together, there was no communication and no recourse. Now you can find out who's rigging games and punish them.
Since the advent of players prop betting a vast majority of players know their individual prop numbers and play accordingly. Have receipts of how many times players have approached their prop numbers with just one more play to surpass the betting half point hook and JUST NOT PERFORMING OR TAKEN OUT THE GAME TO NOT PASS THE BETTING HOOK.
The problem is that Sports books made props on a guy that is known to have an injury history.
A "high roller" might have seen the props, and the injury history and thought, 'what the heck, let's try it'.
I highly doubt this, especially after watching a clip of him avoiding that rebound. I do know people who do this, but it's usually with players with higher props. These bench guys with such low totals can hit there props with like 10 mins of playing time. Taking an under prop on someone like AD, he will need alot of playing time to get to his numbers.
Bro tried his ass off not to get that board and still failed 😂
This shit funny 😂. He thought he was slick . The perspective put on this issue is interesting. Good video
Not the 2k21 legend Jontay Porter 😭
I’m sure this happens all the time on a smaller scale with players homies. It’s impossible to stop if they do it carefully.
Adam Silver is a very smart and amazing commissioner for the NBA. It is kinda rediculous how many right stuff he has done, having this much of a tough job, that everyone fails constantly. So many innovations to improve the game in every aspect.
This is the subjectivity of the penalties as it’s the “sole discretion of the commissioner” if you wanna dissuade gambling state the “harsh” penalties on the contract.
I do gamble with my friends but I know that this explosion of ads for betting platforms couldn’t be good for any sport. Even in my country the Philippines betting platforms are “everywhere” there’s sports.
Bro flew too close to the sun 😂
gambling in sports only opens those doors at every level
Betting one statistic is different than betting five in hitting all five
Objectively speaking, "All evidence presented was circumstantial at best." Having said that, the NBA can make whatever determinations and decisions they want to, in order to maintain/portray whatever image they deem best represents their advertisers' broadcasters' and investors' best interests.
Why’d I get a financial ad on the gambling vid 😂
Adam Silver is going to learn the hard way, why David Stern was so vehemently opposed to the league being in any way, shape or form associated to gambling.
Yet Tim Donaghy and his goons were fixing games under Stern…It’s gonna happen
Actually, Silver’s biggest misstep ruining the NBA was promoting BLM.
They literally fixed games under stern and a ref came out and said he was paid and threatened by the mob to fix games during that time period too
'According to the Ringer.' Lol!
