I watched footage of him sprinting down court to put in a layup as time expired to cut the deficit to '7'.....

Spread was +8.5

It looks suspicious, however too many variables for one player to control a spread and rely on a bucket like that as time expired.

Did he manipulate a prop(s), probably, spread, doubt it.

These guys don't think. Now Pistons have taken everything off the table re a new deal. Guilty or not he's done.

yeah, one comment to the tweet said he may have needed a bucket to reach 20 points, who knows with incentives ...


also in the other tweet he likely was pointing for a screen ...


as Purdum says, a wagering activity analysis, game line and props, will give a better perspective ... or a ''bettor'' nyuck nyuck ...

I have no idea what to make of the play. All I'll say, is typically in that spot the player either slowly dribbles it up court and heaves it at mid court, or he just dribbled it out, you rarely see a player do what he did. I agree with Heim that I don't think he did it to cover the spread, if anything maybe his point total or some other prop, that makes more sense, either way that play looks very suspicious. Also, how fucking dumb is this guy? He's a good player making great money, and he threw it all away, it's not like the other guy who got caught, his name escapes me, but he was a fringe bench player, Beasley is a big time player who apparently made the worst decision of his life

itas called playing to the buzzer, dribble outs should be eliminated, if not make a mercy rule

Don't you think what he did was a little extreme?

Geez, the urgency to get the bucket when the outcome was determined is a little suspicious.

He got the inbound pass with 5 seconds left most if not all hold on to the ball and let time expire.

Looking at most of his stuff on YouTube, there's definitely something there to investigate.

These guys get in over their heads with bookies and there's only one way out.

Geez, don't tell me they're now investigating a Guardian pitcher regarding whether his first pitch would be a ball or strike...

I know they can spread out the money but it's micro limits. Is off screen taking a prop like this?
