Deeper Down the Porter's Betting Rabbit Hole!!! #NBA #Raptors #Nuggets I continue to dig deeper into the Jontay Porter betting scandal...and I'm not liking what I'm finding. Pretty sure the NBA isn't either. I simply follow the information and report it. My first article here laid out what was known yesterday. With those facts it's easy to imagine a situation where Jontay got mixed up with some hyper aggressive gamblers and casually passed on some personal health info. The latest information is casting serious doubt on that scenario. Unsourced but an absolute bombshell right here... This 171 k follower X account is claiming that Jontay may have been making bets for his brother Michael Porter Jr. during the 2022 season. Allegedly Jontay was averaging $2,000,000 EVERY MONTH in betting action on FanDuel!!! Pretty big betting for a guy rehabbing from injury with no NBA contract and considering quitting basketball. FanDuel didn't 'Know your Customer' very well obviously...or didn't care much more likely! While Michael missed almost all 2021-22 he played a lot in 2022-23...last season. Jontay was not under NBA contract so he was legal to bet on NBA games. This report CONFIRMS Betting irregularities around Michael Porter Jr as well!!! Michael was an Under Prop bettors Absolute Dream with hot streaks and absolutely brutal games occasionally. Here is his games log for that season but I'll point out some VERY OBVIOUSLY suspicious games. basketball-reference.com/players/p/port… Nov 11 vs BOS Nov 16 vs NYK Jan 18 vs MIN Feb 25 vs MEM Mar 10 vs SAS May 1 vs PHO (playoffs) Jun 4 vs MIA (playoffs) Jun 7 vs MIA (playoffs) You see the beauty of betting on Michael Porter Jr. is he's very popular so you can bet BIG. His 'streaky' nature is perfect for hiding gambling irregularities as he will have bad games with no big bets on his Under Prop while other games can see big betting action on his under Prop and it gets hidden in the 'noise'. The performance numbers tell gambling companies Michael's a high risk player...great one day, terrible the next. Hard to spot a game where Michael actually tanks his own performance on purpose. Of course the best way to hide gambling cheating is spreading it around on a lot of different established accounts. Sure would be handy if you owned a 'high risk' investment tips company and knew a lot of guys that like to gamble big and win big! Of course we know Jontay is a founding partner in 'The Financial Cloud' Sure would be a handy place to spread all that betting around to limit suspicion and 'win' an awful lot of money!!! Deeper Down the Rabbit Hole... A partner of Jontay's bragging that over 12 NBA players are working with them!!! The linked Instagram post from Michael Porter Jr has been deleted...of course! I'm digging around for more NBA names linked to Jontay's 'Financial Cloud'. I'm pretty sure the NBA doesn't want to go public with even the Michael Porter Jr. connection let alone the idea 12 more NBA players might be connected to this gambling scandal!!! Doubt you see much reporting on this angle! I'm finding NBA players like Alize Johnson, Jarred Vanderbuilt, JJ Redick, Trae Young. To be clear I do NOT have information linking them to 'The Cloud Financial' nor information linking them to any betting scandal. Only loose connections to the Porter's...so far. A lot of NBA players have innocent connections to the Porter's. Well Well Well! That could easily expand the circle so much that even rich NBA player types could make an awful lot of money and each only have to tank one game a season. Hard to get caught with only 1 bad game, right? They would all share the tank game info with each other, create a group to spread the betting around so they don't get caught, and print money like the Federal Reserve!!! Easy unless you are only a 2 way contract guy and decide to do it twice in only 30 games like Jontay!!! Someone always gets greedy right! Criminal??? TSN has reported that the Ontario Alcohol and Gaming Commission is involved with this gambling irregularity investigation. tsn.ca/ontario-s-gami… BOTH Jan 26 and Mar 20 games where betting irregularities occurred with Jontay Porter were IN TORONTO and would be covered by the Commission. In Ontario it is a crime to cheat while playing a game with intent to defraud someone. At some point in the NBA's investigation the Ontario gaming commission will get a full report which they will absolutely pass over to Ontario Provincial Police to determine if there is enough evidence of a crime to prosecute Jontay. He might want to go home to the USA and complicate the case with extradition rather than wait for the OPP to come book him and take away his passport. Summary I'm losing my confidence in Jontay's innocence VERY quickly as this Rabbit Hole goes deeper and deeper! I suspect the NBA will throw a blanket over this entire betting scandal VERY QUICKLY. I doubt they even go after Michael Porter Jr but there seems to be a lot of smoke around him last year. There is already information about 'irregularities' on Michael Porter Jr. betting on Twitter now so that news is about to break publically. Gambling companies like FanDuel have endless records to pour through and figure out the connections winning bettors had to NBA players. It takes a private investigator a day or 2 to figure out who the guy that placed the bet knows or chats with in the NBA. Especially if they have the Discord server being used to share the info! They also have access to all Jontay and Michaels phone records and social media accounts if they want them, as per NBA contract rules. I'll keep digging and reporting...you keep reading, enjoying and sharing!
