Pro Gambler Placed 30 Bets On Terry Rozier In 46 Minutes In 2023 Which Triggered Federal Investigation
Pro Gambler Placed 30 Bets On Terry Rozier In 46 Minutes In 2023 Which Triggered Federal Investigation originally appeared on Fadeaway World. A 2023 NBA game between the Charlotte Hornets and the New Orleans Pelicans has resurfaced in headlines after documents revealed a professional gambler placed 30 bets in just 46 minutes, all targeting unders on Terry Rozier's stats. The bets were not only unusually timed but unusually accurate, as Rozier exited the game just 10 minutes in with a foot injury, finishing with five points, four rebounds, and two assists, all beneath their betting lines. The story, first reported by ESPN's David Purdum, has triggered a full-scale federal investigation now tying Rozier to the same betting probe that brought down former Raptors center Jontay Porter. The bets, totaling $13,759, were placed at Harrah's Gulf Coast sportsbook in Biloxi, Mississippi, with 29 of them logged at a self-service kiosk before 10 a.m., and the largest, a $2,700 bet on Rozier under 5.5 rebounds, was made in person using a casino loyalty card. Remarkably, all the bets cashed. Harrah's initially refused to pay out the winnings, citing internal rules against 'rigged' bets and alleging possible use of inside information. The Mississippi Gaming Commission got involved and demanded evidence. Caesars, Harrah's parent company, ultimately paid the full $13,017.70 in winnings to the bettor. The core suspicion hinges on timing. The fact that a rush of betting activity almost entirely on the unders of one player occurred well before game time and before Rozier was listed with any injury immediately raised red flags. Six different sportsbooks in Louisiana and Mississippi noticed the suspicious volume. According to ESPN, U.S. Integrity flagged the action and issued a nationwide alert by 2:24 p.m. that day, causing sportsbooks across the country to halt all Rozier prop bets within the hour. The NBA conducted its own review back in 2023 and found no evidence Rozier violated league rules. Still, two years later, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of New York has placed Rozier under investigation. His attorney, Jim Trusty, insists that while Rozier has cooperated fully with both the FBI and NBA, he is not a target. "It's unfortunate that he's a big name in sports and is having to endure all this. My hope and expectation is that at some point that they'll be done with their investigation and will be professional enough to let us know that it's 100 percent over and that they reached the same conclusion that was reached in 2023." The case mirrors the infamous Jontay Porter betting scandal that led to his lifetime ban. Porter admitted to manipulating in-game performance to hit unders and help others profit. Now, some of the same betting accounts tied to Porter also reportedly placed bets on Rozier in the Hornets-Pelicans game. Malik Beasley, most recently with the Detroit Pistons, is another player named in the probe. Not only is he under federal scrutiny, but he's also being sued by his barber, his dentist, and his former sports agency, adding layers of financial and legal chaos to his situation. NBA commissioner Adam Silver finally broke his silence recently on the widening scandal, stating that they are not shutting down the market because of a few bad apples. He defended the NBA's gambling partnerships but also warned that players must understand the consequences. But the incident has once again put the integrity of sports betting and player transparency under a harsh spotlight. The NBA, for now, is staying story was originally reported by Fadeaway World on Jul 19, 2025, where it first appeared.

2025 MLB All-Star Game Odds: 'It Really Is A Coin Flip'
Annually, this week is one of the slowest on the calendar in sports. Thankfully, sports betting helps make up for that, in this case on Tuesday night's MLB All-Star Game odds. And in a game rated a toss-up, Caesars Sports is still waiting to see where the wiseguys land. "There's no real sharp action on either side. As of right now, we need the American League but just slightly," Caesars head of baseball trading Eric Biggio said Monday afternoon. Biggio helps break down MLB All-Star Game odds and action for Tuesday's 8 p.m. ET start on FOX. Two-Way Play Over the past 11 All-Star Games, the American League is a dominant 10-1 vs. the National League. The lone NL victory: a 3-2 win in the 2023 Midsummer Classic. The AL immediately bounced back last year with a 5-3 victory. But Biggio still rates this year's matchup a pick 'em, with both teams -110 in MLB All-Star Game odds. That means it takes a $110 bet on either side to win $100 (total payout $210). "In All-Star Games now, it really is a coin flip," Biggio said. "There's been a stretch of American League dominance. But the consensus now is that the National League is a little better. "Still, the matchup seems to be pretty even this year." The bulk of action will come in on Tuesday afternoon or evening, ahead of the first pitch at Truist Park in Atlanta. That said, Caesars has seen notable wagering in alternate markets. "There's been some sharp money coming in on the first three innings' Under. We opened at 2.5 (Under -140) and are now at 2.5 (Under -170)," Biggio said. So the smart bettors are banking on each team's pitching staffs getting off to a strong start. MVP Market MLB All-Star Game MVP odds are always popular, and bettors were quick to jump on board at Caesars Sports. "We opened the MVP market on Sunday, and that's been pretty busy. Cal Raleigh is our biggest liability, at 12/1," Biggio said of the Seattle Mariners catcher. A Raleigh MVP would represent a nice payout. At +1200, a $100 bet would profit $1,200 (total payout $1,300). But a few players are above Raleigh on the MVP oddsboard. The Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani is the +550 favorite, followed by Yankees star Aaron Judge at +650. Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. and Cubs outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong are both +1000. Rookie pitcher Jacob Misiorowski was a late addition to the NL roster, despite having just five starts since getting called up to the Milwaukee Brewers on June 10. But Misiorowski is 4-1 with a 2.81 ERA in those five outings. "One of the more polarizing storylines is Misiorowski getting named a late replacement," Biggio said. "We've seen some MVP tickets on him at +12000 (120/1). It'll be interesting to see if he gets to pitch and if he has success." Those flier MVP tickets would certainly pay out well. In the unlikely event of the rookie starter winning the MVP award, a $100 bet would profit $12,000.

Kelly Clarkson celebrates comeback with tequila shot from fan, says she 'cried' over canceled show
One week after abruptly postponing the opening night of her Las Vegas residency, Kelly Clarkson returned to the stage. On Friday, the "Since U Been Gone" crooner apologized to her fans for the last-minute cancellation and explained how the heavy decision impacted her. "It took us a minute … took me a minute. I'm so sorry if some of y'all had tickets to last weekend's shows," said Clarkson, per Billboard. "We can't help our body sometimes … if we get sick. But thank you all so much for showing up." "I sound incredible because I canceled last weekend," she added. Later in the show, Clarkson took a shot of tequila that was handed to her by a fan and said, "I'm celebrating because I had to cancel last weekend. I cried. I was so sick, it sucked. I'm so happy to be here." Just hours before she was supposed to hit the stage last week for opening night, the singer took to Instagram and announced she would be postponing the show in an effort to protect her voice. "We have been working 24/7 to make Studio Sessions the most intimate and extraordinary experience with and for my incredible fans," the 43-year-old wrote. "I am beyond grateful that you always show up for me and I am devastated to have to postpone tonight and tomorrow's opening at Caesars. "The prep and rehearsals have taken a toll on my voice," Clarkson shared. "I want the shows to be perfect for y'all and I need to protect myself from doing serious damage so I am taking this weekend and next week to rest up so that we can deliver what you all deserve. "The show is truly incredible," Clarkson continued. "The musicians and singers are outstanding, and I want us all to start out strong. I can't wait to be back next weekend and show y'all what we've been working on." Many fans quickly took to the comments section to express their disappointment. Others expressed well wishes for the star. "I'm a huge fan and flew here from Boston spending thousands on tickets and hotels to see your show tomorrow for my 40th birthday," one user wrote. "I really want you to be healthy but canceling this late has such a huge financial impact on your loyal fans." "Flew in from NY for both opening weekend shows," one person added. "Devastated doesn't cut it but your health has to come first. Get well soon Kelly." "Kelly Clarkson: Studio Sessions" is scheduled through Nov. 15.
