Tim Donaghy bet on over 100 games he officiated

Geezz...

ESPN - Reports: Donaghy bet on more than 100 games he worked - NBA


Quote:
Former NBA referee Tim Donaghy bet on more than 100 games that he worked, federal prosecutors said in a court filing Friday, according to media reports.



Donaghy pleaded guilty last year to charges he conspired to engage in wire fraud and transmitted betting information through interstate commerce. He was alleged to have given a pair of gamblers inside information, including tips on which crews would officiate games and how the various officials and players interacted, and collected $5,000 if his picks were correct.


According to court filings, Donaghy bet on about 30 games each season starting in 2003 and 14 games during the 2006-2007 season, the New York Post reported.

The NBA has a major problem here. Any one believe this incident was isolated?

if more names start coming out, it may not be that easy.

right now, they think it's isolated to one guy, so that falls on him and not the league.

Just like cockroaches... if you see one, there is more than one.
