00:00How about this story from over the weekend?

00:02We've seen a few of these now, and a lot of them have involved the NBA, Scotty.

00:07U.S. District Attorney's Office investigating Malik Beasley

00:11on allegations of gambling related to NBA games and prop bets.

00:17I believe the games in question are from 2024 from the report that I was reading.

00:25Not a good scene here as, once again, one of these players gets tripped up

00:30for some interesting behavior in the gambling market.

00:34Yeah, I think Malik Beasley, it would appear to me, if they got him dead to rights,

00:38he's screwed.

00:40I mean, he's done playing NBA basketball.

00:43I mean, they'll throw him out of that league so fast, make your head spin.

00:47Honestly, like, did you see some of the highlights of the games in question?

00:52Like, this guy racing up the court to make a layup with no time left

00:58to cover, like, prop bets?

01:00Like, they're accusing him of all this stuff.

01:03And listen, the illegalities of gambling have reared their ugly head

01:09ever since the Supreme Court allowed gambling.

01:14When they made it a law that you could, you know, gamble,

01:17and they opened up all these sports books in all these states,

01:20and they allowed gambling and sports betting, I mean, let's just face facts.

01:24Nobody wants to hear it, but it's true.

01:27There's just been nothing but criminal activity.

01:31I mean, just massive criminal activity.

01:34The underworld, betting, bad news, it's all there is to it.

01:39Prop bets, college kids on the take, pro athletes on the take.

01:43One controversy after the next.

01:45It never ends.

01:47Mike, it just never ends.

01:48I know that, and I know that people bring up,

01:52I think the people that don't pay a lot of attention to it

01:55kind of look at it as, oh, ever since this stuff was legalized

02:00is when all this happens.

02:02Actually, it's the other side of the coin.

02:04Because this stuff was legalized is why you're finding out

02:08that these guys are doing it.

02:10Because if it was all still in the dark.

02:13No one would know.

02:14So you think it helps?

02:15No, I think it helps.

02:17It's finding, it's flagging the times where strange betting occurrences

02:22are happening or strange problems.

02:24Like the Porter and this guy.

02:26Like legalized gambling is finding the problems that are going on with this stuff.

02:31Fair enough.

02:32But they're also going to toss his ass just like they did Porter.

02:35He's done.

02:36That's his problem.

02:38But people saying that, oh, look at what legalized gambling has done.

02:42No, you're wrong.

02:43This stuff was going on before legalized gambling.

02:46You're right.

02:46You just didn't know about it.

02:48Because it was not, the government couldn't find out about it.

02:51Now they can.

02:52And now they're finding it because the gambling is legalized.

02:55It's the other side of the coin.

02:56But I think it's great because you're right.

02:59And it's exposing all these people and they're getting busted and popped

03:03and they're finding out who the bad seeds are.

03:06And once they catch you, you're finished.

03:10Finished.

03:11I mean, he's finished.

03:13Like he was scheduled to be a free agent.

03:14I saw someone listing like all the potential spots for guys to sign.

03:18And then under Malik Beasley, now it says jail.

03:21It says that's all the guys that are going to sign that Beasley.

03:24But I doubt that.

03:26I really doubt that.

03:27Now, like they're saying they're going after him for that, right?

03:30Like we'll see if that, if he gets time.

03:34I, I, I highly doubt it.

03:36I would guess he'd get fines, expended sentences and probation.

03:43And at worst house arrest, they're going to put Malik Beasley with all his money in prison.

03:48Is that what they're going to do?
