Porter, the league said, gave a bettor information about his own health status before Toronto's game on March 20. The league said another individual, known to be an NBA bettor, placed an $80,000 bet that Porter would not hit the numbers set for him in parlays through an online sportsbook. That bet would have won $1.1 million. https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/1/1e6826fe.jpg --- Don't like it? Don't watch it. It's that simple Dictator of Nice Guys ... Copied to Clipboard!

The only bet athletes should be allowed to make is on their own team, specifically they should only be allowed to bet that they're going to win.
If every bet they make is that they're going to kick ass and be the best? I don't have a problem with it. --- The commercial says that Church isn't for perfect people, I guess that's why I'm an atheist. ... Copied to Clipboard!

It is in their contract, and needs to be enforced to ensure the integrity of the game. Refs obviously should never be able to bet, neither should players or coaches. I personally think if you work for a team you it should be in your contract you cant bet on that sport. ... Copied to Clipboard!

So stupid to bet on himself and in a negative way.
Ideally, I think players should not make bets, especially in their sport, but some exceptions can be made. - Any game where player/team is not involved in - Team to win - Any over bet for anyone's individual stat on the team with a parley of the team winning I feel that any other bets involving players on the team could be skewed due to insider knowledge. It would be equally be as bad if he made the same bet he did but on a teammate because of knowledge. Also any over bets without the team winning could encourage more selfish behavior that might be detrimental. --- Blah, blah, blah, and blah. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Games tend to be spread out enough that that's not an issue. Pretty rare to play multiple games in a single day. Load management is a major thing in the NBA, and players often play three or even more games a week. There absolutely is a benefit to resting some days, both officially and unofficially, and going all out one day could easily have a deleterious impact on your play a couple days later. Porter was a bench player, but for starters major minutes for 82 games a year takes a big toll on your body, and that's not even accounting for deep playoff runs potentially pushing that number over a hundred games played. --- Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less. ...

Also consider that athletes are privy to information the public is not, and using that info, even to bet on your own team's success, really calls into question the legitimacy and fairness the whole gambling pyramid is built on. It's like insider trading.

The only other active player that is currently blacklisted from the NBA for life is OJ Mayo btw. You have to go back to the 90s for any other player who is permendantly banned.
