According to the league, the wagers ranged from $15 to $22,000, totaling $54,094.<\/p>\n<p id=\"par-12_25\">The Missouri product waged $54,094 worth of bets from January 2024 to March 2024 while traveling with the Raptors or the team\u2019s G League affiliate.<\/p>\n<p id=\"par-13_32\">The NBA said the total payout from those bets was $76,059, with net winnings of $21,965. However, none of Porter's bets involved any in which he played.<\/p>\n<p id=\"par-14_26\">Based on the league\u2019s findings, three of the bets were parlays, including one that required the Raptors to lose. All three bets lost.<\/p>\n<h2>Mark Tatum said the league's framework for tracking betting activity creates transparency<\/h2>\n<p>A day after three men were charged in relation to Porter's gambling suspension, Tatum said the NBA framework for monitoring betting activity was working when it allowed the league to track and ban the player.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The fact that we were able to look at certain irregularities in betting lines, and the data that we were able to receive from our partners allowed this to come into the light.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We've always been, again, an advocate for a federal regulatory framework here. ... I think it creates transparency that we didn't previously, which allows us to maintain the integrity of the sport, which is essential to all sports leagues.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Porter's ban was one of many for the five U.S. professional sports leagues. In MLB, Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Andrew Saalfrank was one of five players to receive suspensions for gambling-related offenses this week.<\/p>\n<p id=\"par-8_38\">San Diego Padres infielder\/outfielder\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/mlb-bans-padres-tucupita-marcano-for-life-for-gambling-on-games\/\">Tucupita Marcano<\/a>\u00a0received a lifetime ban, while four others \u2014 Saalfrank, Philadelphia Phillies infielder Jose Rodriguez, Oakland Athletics pitcher Michael Kelly, and San Diego Padres pitcher Jay Groome \u2014 were suspended for a year.<\/p>\n<p id=\"par-9_46\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Marcano wagered more than $150,000 for 387 baseball bets. The league said he placed 231 MLB-related bets, including 25 of which were Pittsburgh Pirates games while he was a member of the Pirates. Since Marcano bet on games involving his team, he was banned for life.<\/p>\n<p>More NBA players and other pro athletes will have to be surveilled now that sports betting has been legalized in more than 38 states and Washington D.C.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NBA deputy commissioner Mark Tatum applauded the league's effort in recent months for tracking betting irregularities and working together with licensed operators to maintain integrity.
