Voted yes - if anyone bets on a game in which you are participating, you are involved. Further than that, no idea

I don’t really care, especially if he didn’t gamble on baseball, but he’s definitely not telling the truth

Or he’s the biggest moron on planet earth

This proves his innocence!

It's because they want him to be guilty. Misery loves company, especially on the Internet.

I see what you did there. And there both guilty as the night is dark. As to whether either of them ever pays a price, or instead sees their riches multiplied, only time will tell. Interesting times, for sure. Huge news. YOUGE!

Have you caught Blink on tour since they got back together?

No crime will be found. No punishment will be meted out.

Agree.

His "mistake" if you want to call it that was paying off his friend's debt.

Why else would he use that name? Lol

There's zero evidence of that. Where are you getting that from?

For paying off his friends debt?

[brewtown107]

I voted "no" along with all the other rubes and sweet summer children

He isn't a liar...his legal team is lying. When you're that wealthy you have other people do your dirty work. He probably doesn't know or care what is going on behind the scenes and is trying to prepare for the season.

So are you saying that the statement he just read was in no way written by him, but his legal team? And if so, saying the words doesn't also make him a liar?

Bookies aren’t a sports book.

No. Its what rich and famous people do who have hundreds of millions of dollars. It's called PR. You guys from the Rust Belt are naive I guess.

Ok, but I still find it hard to believe a “bookie” would allow this guy making 300k to get so far in the hole and accrue 4.5 million in gambling debts. This is also assuming he was using the same bookie.

[boxbuster7]

It was an illegal bookie - he probably didn't care and probably knew he was connected to ohtani...
