They should learn from politicians and have their close relatives lay the bets.

I’d like to know how the “official betting partner” of the MLB feels about this. Gambling revenue will soon greatly eclipse sporting revenue. Pretty soon all sport will become the WWE as controlling the action to sheer the sheep becomes more and more profitable.

Who the heck bets on baseball?

Ahhh, worked with a guy once that's all he ever bet on - MLB.

He also fell out of his tree stand and spent weeks in the hospital. So any questions I had regarding his sanity were answered.

Say it ain’t so, Luis and Emmanuel!
That doesn’t rhyme. Yet, I would have difficulty convicting these guys of anything. They didn’t throw a game or anything.

WTF? It’s all a rigged game? Thanks to those trying to clean up the corruption. What does the rich bitch Nancy Pelosi have to say?

Emmanuel Clase,

Apparently a $4.5 million, 2025 salary, isn't enough to make ends meet.

Dumbasses!

I’ve said for a long time that many major sporting events are rigged.

With all the betting options available, they don’t even have to affect the game’s outcome. The coin toss is an example.

These two pitchers' crimes were not that they were involved with illegal gambling - their crime was that their involvement wasn't sanctioned by the right people.

The syndicate pays off law enforcement to shut down freelancers.

Cardinal sin in baseball. Every clubhouse has (or had) a sign saying NO Gambling on Baseball. This kind of stuff badly taints the sport, and it takes a looong time to regain the public’s trust....

...unless your team is winning. Then people don’t care.

Ortiz' salary for 2025 was $748,000 and his career earnings have been $2.3 million (he is only 26!)

Yet that wasn't enough. Pathetic.

For all of you worried about the future of these sports leagues....Pro wrestling admitted it was rigged in a court case in 1989. It didn’t hurt their bottom line.

I’m sure these sports ball leagues full of anti-American thugs will do just fine.

It’s everywhere, MLB, NBA, collegiate. Anywhere there is sports betting, there will be corruptible figures.
