he really deserved the punishment, because he had lied to many bettors, and fully and knowingly gave his health information to others and bet on other games using other people's names. this is an action that is inappropriate for an athlete, especially if he is an nba player, where many basketball players dream of playing in that league, but he threw it away just to chase some money. this is quite unfortunate, even though if he had played honestly and fairly, he should have been able to make a good name for himself in the league and his image would not have been tarnished like this.

Welcome to the Pete Rose club. I really don't understand why these players take the risks that they do. They are already paid well, but it's never enough. Hopefully this incident doesn't interfere with his brothers success.
I honestly wish that all sports would crack down on idiots. I would like to see players banned for other offenses. The leagues shouldn't condone stupidity.

What I found dumb on news is why the hell did Jontay Porter KYC his sportsbook account while he can use a crypto casino to remove tracks of his fiat transaction and use friends ID that is not related to him to place bets.
The amount of money he can earn from his whole career is much higher compared to the amount he won with this dumb sports betting that involves his own team. He just throw away his career that many players dream to be on his place. Sucks story just because he place bets.
Even if he gamble on crypto casino still there is a mandatory KYC will be asked so he might still busted on those betting activities he do on sportsbook. What he did is dumb decisions he made in life since imagine he exchange his career on a short time fun only then cheat or sabotage their game so that he gets a high chance to win. Raptors seems like been betrayed on the action he do while still playing and he deserve that penalty has been dropped on him so that people would know that NBA is so strict regarding on their players betting on sportsbook or any casino. For sure he became a prime example that players should not do the same what Jontay Porter did.

cabron explained it well: Most likely he didn't think he was going to get caught. On the other hand, as far as I know, there is no IQ test to be passed in order to play in the NBA; maybe they should attach one to the multi-million dollar contracts ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) BTW, in other jurisdictions that stupidity would mean jail time, no matter the amount of money earned.

"Jontay Porter receives lifetime ban from NBA for violating gambling rules"
You are right, the news about Porter has been hot and popular news in NBA sports circles for several days now, the case experienced by Porter, could be a valuable lesson for sports players, especially the NBA, Anyone who is involved in gambling has no tolerance for them, punishments are still enforced and enforced, it is better to lose one person than to lose 1000 NBA fans. I have seen cases involving basketball players/Porters, as revealed by the NBA. The nBA said it found evidence that before the Raptors game on March 20, Porter shared confidential information about his health condition with someone he knew was a bettor.
"The person placed a bet of US$80 thousand that Porter would perform badly in the match and win US$1.1 million," the NBA said.
In that match, Porter only played for 3 minutes before admitting to being sick and unable to continue playing.
"Due to the strangeness of the gambling activity and the player's behavior, the betting money of US$80 thousand was frozen and the winnings were not paid," the NBA said.
This is a fatal case for the NBA sports generation, we hope, especially for those who like to gamble on NBA sports, that in the future there will be no more cases like what happened to Porter which could harm NBA fans as a whole.

Big businesses like the NFL and NBA will save their people just like OJ Simpson.

What an idiot for making bets on his own team.
He was making something like 1.5 million each season, why throw it away for a few thousand dollars? It’s either total greed or he has a gambling problem.

These guys are paid millions per year and are role models for millions of kids. They should be held to a higher standard. All leagues need to come together and come up with a standard they expect their players to live by. Gambling on their sport, drunk driving, battery, domestic battery, murder, guns on instagram, etc all should be instant bans with instant loss of their contract and possible jail time. These guys wanna have their cake and eat it too and know that they'll get a slap on the wrist basically. Shouldn't be tolerated by the leagues, the teams, the owners, or us the general public.

The punishment he got isn't even justified at all in my opinion, let's imagine a commoner disclosed confidential information to the bettors then he would be imprisoned along with a penalty that he can't able to pay even if he worked throughout his entire life. So ban from the NBA can end his career for now but from the eyes of a neutral party it's just a stunt to save the one who committed.

It got me thinking if he was punished for gambling or for making it too obvious. I think the NBA are being such hypocrites. You see them promote gambling with the ads but would not hesitate to ban players because they gambled. If you want to stop people from gambling then don't take money from gambling ads. Jontay may have needed a bit of extra money through sports gambling, but he went the wrong way. He could have at least gambled on other sports, and even if he didn't know the other leagues so well, he could not have gambled in his own league. That was a very stupid move.

I'm seeing a lot of people on social media criticize this lifetime ban and talk about how much more severe the punishment is then what other players have received for more serious crimes. While this is true, I think that one thing should be remembered for those that want to make this argument... Jontay Porter didn't do something outside of basketball like assault a woman or get caught with drugs. These are the typical things we're used to seeing players get suspended over. From a basketball perspective though, Jontay tried to cheat the game. On the court amongst basketball players, this is the worst crime imaginable. You don't cheat the game. He's being made an example of also because he's not a major player. If it were someone with a bigger name, then he probably would've gotten a private suspension and spent a couple years playing baseball while he waits to get back in the league...
Lol I read between the lines there, and while that is a popular conspiracy theory, MJ meant so much to the league I doubt Stern would actually hand out a private ban like some speculate to the guy who did more for the game than anyone in history by a county mile. I just don’t see them giving up all that income MJ made for the game in general. It’s a for profit business after all. But if he did get a private punishment , we both know he almost assuredly never bet against himself or his team, that’s def the ultimate sac religious no no. Pulling a Pete Rose, ehh, not condoning it but he never bet against his team so ehhh. Welcome to the Pete Rose club. I really don't understand why these players take the risks that they do. They are already paid well, but it's never enough. Hopefully this incident doesn't interfere with his brothers success.
I honestly wish that all sports would crack down on idiots. I would like to see players banned for other offenses. The leagues shouldn't condone stupidity.
Different clubs though. Pete never did anything to jeopardize the outcome for his own team. It’s wrong what he did sure, but not comparable to what this guy pulled. Had it been a Pete Rose situation, would have likely been a temp ban. At least as far as I can remember Pete never bet against his team in any way. Btw is it NFL season yet bud? Lol. Withdrawals here big time!

IMO, he's addicted already.
It all started with small bet and then later on became big and have realized that he can make money from betting against his own team. A crazy dude indeed.
Many wants to be in his position but he just wasted it. The taboo with gambling athletes is going to stick in the minds of the fans and the brands that has trusted him and sure those contracts will be gone together with the ban that the NBA has given him.
This guy don't appreciate that he's in a better place than the majority of the people in the world. Poor guy.

This is a sign of addiction, infact at the time he was cashing out the 80k$ he might not be thinking straight. One have to keep the rules on anything he's doing on sports rules are ment to be maintained so that the games will be performed correctly. Just as football is planning to bring up new cards and another rules too. From the start, 80k$ is not much for one who's receiving more that 100k$, now he is not permitted to perform in the NBA again (so sad) but he deserves it. Like I said, its definitely good riddance to a bad rubbish. He was fully aware of the reasons. Imo, he thought that if he doesn't bet on the outcomes himself but give / sell them to a friend then he isn't liable for any punishment as he was directly gambling against himself. But he was wrong and needs ro be punished as an example for other players. The punishment is harsh but if it wasn't so, other players will try to take advantage of it.

He got what he deserved. If he's not performing well in a league wherein a lot of people compete to be in, then I don't think he deserves to be even there at all. He had it coming to him, and fortunately it was handed to him in a silver platter. This is similar to match fixing, and sports at the elite level don't need any of these people playing.
Dude's probably not satisfied with the paycheck he's rwceiving and the game that he's playing. I mean, he's got one of the easiest and most lucrative job in the world, why does he feel the need to throw games for a couple thousand dollars?
Then again, there are tons of people willing to sell their dignity for money, and this man right here is one of them.

Thoughts in general?
"My thought". The NBA definitely chose the right player to make an example of in this matter. It brought the message/warning across, and it didn't give them a hard decision because he isn't a player whose name is spelled L-E-B-R-O-N. Because if it was actually a player such as Lebron or one of those "highly-endorsed" players, then we could truly expect the NBA to hide this matter from the public, OR have the player make a "public apology" + a suspension, but not a life-time ban.

Maybe yes or no on this matter. It’s subjective because there’s rules about this specific matter which even popular names are not exempted to the punishment especially if there’s a player already received punishment on same violation. I doubt popular player will do idiotic move like this because they already have enough salary and good career. Only minor role player can be tempted to this since they feel that their salary is not worthy while they don’t enjoy the game that much because they have few ball time. But if Lebron caught doing this. The public will surely enraged if the punishment is not the same to Porter.

Lebron aren't gonna do that stupid thing, he is making a lot of money in the NBA and he is making his legacy, one mistake that like that will eliminate all the success he work hard from the very beginning. Let's admit it, after Kobe Bryant, it's currently Lebron James who are considered as the best player in the NBA although he is already aging, he is a living legend that is still playing actively and producing like he didn't get old. The NBA can make a lot of story for Lebron, and that would result to money,.. so speculations that NBA might hide it, that could be possible but it's not necessary to reach at that level since Lebron is not gonna do that.

Thoughts in general? These kind of Activity are deprecable and most of times also linked with criminale activities. But in general have a strong impact to sport and gambling industry. Without a serious sanction, even one so radical, people involved will never stop. I can't see other valid solution....

It could be link to criminal activities but what he is doing is not a criminal activity. Porter is probably not the only one doing this but he is one of the few that got caught. He is not a star player, so probably he thought he can increase his income if he will be betting since he know some information a typical bettors don't. I like that the NBA are very strict with implementing their rules, a lifetime ban maybe too much as that would kill the job of a player but its impact might not be good if they'll serve a light punishment. I hope this would not happen again and I'm sure it will send a message for player+gambler who are silently breaking the rules.
