The spooky part is Giannis is technically a free agent at the end of the season, meaning there’s a world he just walks at the end of the year.
Tyler Herro, Kelel Ware, Jamie Jacquez, Kasparas Jakucionis, and 4 first round picks for 1 season of Giannis…
Holy shit it appears there may be a coverup happening in real time involving FanDuel and Rob Gronkowksi.
The account CodyBrownBets has been called out for being a corporate account pretending to be a person based on patents. The government links to these patents are now being used in community notes on Cody’s posts to provide evidence he’s not a real person (or is and sold his account to be controlled by someone else).
The Cody account denied the allegations last night and then once the post was hit with community notes last night containing the patents, the post was deleted [An attempt to kill the community note?]
This is a problem for FanDuel because it collaborates with CodyBrownBets all the time. There are allegations that FanDuel, or its close partners, control the account in order to artificially engineer bets from the public on certain teams to balance its books.
Rob Gronkowki collaborated with CodyBrownBets and some of the evidence of that has been deleted too - attached is evidence that still exists (for now).
It’s certainly possible Gronk and FD have done nothing wrong, but it’s time for them to answer questions about their knowledge and relationship with the CodyBrownBets account. Also if Cody is a real human, now would be a good time to finally show his face.
Let’s hope a former NFL player isn’t knowingly helping FD deceive millions of fans.
So let me get this straight. The NBA sidelines Terry Rozier and Malik Beasley over gambling cases and then turns around and partners with Kalshi while already being in bed with FanDuel. Sick league Adam.
The betting industry has sophisticated systems that track how much is wagered, where the money goes, and how unusual the betting patterns are. Anything outside normal market expectations gets flagged. If multiple sportsbooks flag the same player an investigation can follow.
These systems helped expose cases involving NBA players like Jontay Porter and Terry Rozier. That’s why match-fixing is extremely difficult to pull off without leaving a trace.
A player finishing 0.5 points below a prop line isn’t evidence of fixing. It’s often just a reflection of how efficiently the market sets its lines.
Most player prop Over/Unders are priced close to 50/50, while sportsbooks make their money through the vig. From the book’s perspective, whether a player goes slightly over or under the line matters far less than the margin built into the market
Professional sports bettor Mike Manning says he got a firsthand look at how a sports gambling betting platform treats winners differently from losers. He told CBS News’ Jim Axelrod that Caesars Sportsbook showered him with VIP perks when he was losing, then slashed his betting limits and cut off the perks after he started winning.
His account adds to allegations that sports betting platforms limit the amount skilled gamblers are able to wager.
In a statement, Caesars Sportsbook said, “We don't comment on the specifics of individual customer accounts. Caesars Sportsbook is an entertainment product and we consider a variety of factors including account activity, integrity protocols, and consistency with our terms and conditions, when establishing wagering limits and determining VIP rewards and benefits. No decision is made solely on a customer's win-loss record.”
