Sports gambling "integrity monitoring" often prioritizes sportsbook profits, not the integrity of games. Saying otherwise, acknowledged one integrity monitor veteran, "frankly is bullshit." My @NewYorker dive into the NBA bombshell and an emerging scourge of corruption 👇

Shohei Ohtani is 4 for 4 with two doubles and two home runs, including a game-tying solo shot in the seventh. The best player on the planet continues to do best-player-on-the-planet things.

Enjoyed talking to the FP for this piece, about how betting can enhance but also ruin sports. "If you place a bet and then turn off the phone, I think that’s good. If you place a bet and keep your app open and keep placing more bets, that’s bad.”

“The defendants then placed more than $200,000 of wagers on the unders for his prop bets… Those bets paid out tens of thousands.” If these numbers are right they were max clicking alt unders at like -500, prob on a couple VIP accounts. Looking forward to screenshots
