Wander: Pedo
Tatis: Roids
Ohtani: Gambler

Quite impressive if thats the case. 3 guys pretty much considered the future of the MLB.

I hope Ohtani is inocent, he would be the last player I could imagine getting in big trouble.

I don’t think it’s fair to even compare these things especially in a day and age where gambling is jsut forced on you 24/7 he’ll ESPN owns their own book and nba league pass jsut integrated it so you can bet love while watching/.

Worst case he fired soem soccer, who cares

Not like ESPN gonna publish articles saying why Ohtani shouldn’t gamble right under their add for a deposit bonus at ESPn bet

Ohtani investors worried?

I'm only into Ohtani for a few hundred bucks.

I bet those investor boiz who sunk thousands, hundreds of thousands of dollars sphincters could make diamonds right about now.

SUCKS TO BE THEM

kidfan9 · 03-20-2024, 06:33 PM

Sounds like Ohtani might be guilty of bad judgment and hopefully nothing more serious than that.

imbluestreak23 · 03-20-2024, 06:41 PM

Last I checked Shoeless Joe high end does well.

As do MJ cards. I imagine Sho's culpability lies somewhere closer to MJ

PUIG got blocked from playing again mainly because of the gambling situation
(Much less $ than $4.5 million)

And the point that im trying to make in case Ohtani is guilty is that in a span of 2 years 3 of the faces of the league really messed up. Obviously what Wander did is at a different level.

Puig isn't in baseball because he's been accused of sexual assault many times. So no, it wasn't mainly because of gambling.

strider_boi · 03-20-2024, 06:52 PM

Paying 10% comps on ohtani just like the juice in sports betting.

His MAIN problem with the law was gambling and I think it was $200k or so
Still ungoing I believe.. the Sexual Assaults im not sure, but doesn’t seem to be the issue.

$4.5k is much more serious than $200k
And PUIG wasn’t the face of the league

So hopefully Shohei didn’t mess up. As it something serious to be accused if ilegal gambling $4.5 million

kidfan9 · 03-20-2024, 06:54 PM

If Ohtani is a scratch for the next Dodger game all hell will break loose!!!!

Dude deferred $680 million of his $700 million contract for a decade. Gambling addicts don't do stuff like that.

Brios makes such odd appearances in this thread.

Trueblue · 03-20-2024, 06:57 PM

Don't gamble, don't invest. Unbelievable.

I do think Sho was naive.

Maybe he made so much from gambling that he doesn't really need the 700 million now. 🤔

I think he means bad judgment as in he sent 4.5M to an illegal bookie, even if it was in good faith to help a friend.

Huh
Maybe its the other way around.
For him it might be safer to get less money at a time so he doesn’t spend/loose it all. And maybe in the future he isn’t having problems gambling.

Its all speculation if in fact it was him

Yeah I agree, I was trying to reinforce his point, not refute it.

First of all it's "lose".
Secondly, that's not how the mind of an addict works.

Whats odd about getting involved in BIG time news??

Which hopefully Ohtani doesn’t get in to trouble.
Not good for the hobby if he does.
