Bunch of different sources reporting this, but they're all repeating the same story and none of the sources are ones I would consider terribly reliable, but it's certainly worth keeping an eye on. Guy lost $80k on the NFL. That's even worse than the season I'm having! http://ibnsportswrap.com/article.php?articleID=1144
wonder how much he won fixing the florida st game...:an_light:
If he bet on himself he should be held out in a very positive light.
Nothing wrong with betting on yourself.
NFL teams? Who cares?
If this were true, it would be blasted, right?
where that kid get 80k to gamble
Credit...they're letting him dig himself deeper so they can get paid when he gets draftedQuote:

Or letting him get in the whole big, so something like Thursday could happen.Quote:

If you are going to the bigs for sure then you take insurance that you won't get a career ending injury during college/ walking down the street etc...plus you could borrow mad cash against your projected future earnings.
True, I didn't watch the game. Did he play like he owed 80k out thereQuote:

The NFL is terrified of something like this. Now I'm not saying it's true, but imagine if it was and he went to the NFL. Look at all the "NFL is fixed!" conspiracy theorists we see after a day like yesterday. Now imagine them if a guy with a gambling problem threw a late INT or something like that.Quote:

Don't know why this is news.
99% of all first rounders are in debt like this by the time they are drafted.
Who cares.
Being in debt because you took your homies to the strip club is one thing. Racking up $80k in sports gambling debts is something else entirely.Quote:

Given how flimsy the reporting/stores are on ESPN and other places, I would book it.
Never heard of him
I like knowing what sbr posters win and lose only
teams need to pass him up for this, nobody wants a gambling degen on their team, not to be trusted, not to mention is is overrated
fatso right, if true this will be a major red flag
Ok Now I know who he is
If true he has no shot in NFL
1000x worse than drugs as far as NFL concerned
If whomever is controlling The Evening Gold did not know Tajh Boyd .... you need to be fired.
Gold, two days in a row you have surprised me with some knowledge.Quote:

I hope you guys really aren't all this gullible. The troll is strong..
What kind of proof is a tweet stating the same exact claim as the article, from a source that has no credibility and is probably owned by the website itself?
I agree the sources were unreliable. But I still think it is worth keeping an eye on.Quote:

Those guys are better than the FBI, could find out and where you did it the first time if they wanted to. They may keep it under wraps even if they do find out but they will get to the bottom of it.

Every time he plays against NC State he has played like he was throwing the game. He's getting paid early. This is my observation only. No proof.
