Calvin Ridley suspended for betting on NFL games

[Brooksey]

He give up all his salary this season for a 1500 parlay

he will appeal and he will lose

it is said very very clear no one in the league can gamble on nfl game

what a dumb thing to do

Was that what it was a $1500 parlay?

 

[nightrain]

He would have been better off getting caught with drugs after beating up his neighbor. Guaranteed he would not be gone for a year.

What's the latest with Kamara? No comment..

And people made fun of me because I said never trust WRs from Alabama...

Yep, the dude was in Florida and placed a $1500 bet, that did involve a Falcons game according to reports. He used a phone app to place the bet but the company that operates the app has some sort of backdoor code that tracks if the phone is registered to an NFL player or something.

That is how he got caught. Talk about being dumb as F, he used his own personal phone to place the bet

Like refs in the NFL don't do the same

 

[jazzcat22]

So a player doing something automatically means a ref must be doing it, eh? Guess when Collins bribed the drug tester it mean refs were also bribing coaches and making calls accordingly. Oh, the conspiracy crew. They never disappoint. Lol.

So you make up an entirely different scenario from my post or go off on a different subject….typical…

And you know there are refs that betted. Some of the game outcomes are to obvious. You are naive if you do not believe that. Or as suspected, you yourself are a ref.

It is just the refs have a friend or family member place the bets.
Well at least it gets you riled up. Off season fun.

Dont want to post any links here, but just google Calvin Ridely and there are tons of news stories about it.

Ok I thought you had to post a source.

I was wondering how he got caught. This hurts my brain.

Too easy to do. I would imagine most probably don't. But you have to believe some do.

 

[Bigdog]

Zeke 6 games most likely

Well you know Zeke made him do it so he will be suspended also. Mara will see to it, lol.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

And was a legit NFL QB. He had all the talent but one will never know what a 10-12 year career would've looked like.

Go Cowboys!

+1

 

[PAPPYDOG]

Shame and sadness for this young man.......he will probably never play in the NFL again?

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Harsh penalty for him and really not right imo. I don't necessarily gamble outside blackjack, but, if that's how he wants to risk his money, that's his choice.

What was untrue about what I said? A player gets busted for betting on games so you use that as a basis to say to investigate refs that are betting on games. The conspiracy crew knows all the things that are hidden, don't they? Not even TMZ knows what y'all know. Lol.

The problem is that you cant have NFL players making bets on NFL games, that opens up a whole can of worms if players are throwing games.

Did that QB just throw into triple coverage and got picked because it was a bad read or does he have 100g on the other team winning? See the problem that opens up if you let NFL players openly bet on NFL games. No way can the league allow that.

Lets say a QB is struggling financially, and he decides to bet a large sum of money for his team to lose. How do you think that QB will play that game? Let’s say it’s a kicker. Do you think that kicker makes the winning kick when it’s his turn to do so?

Gambling players, coaches or refs are the worse case scenario for any sports league. It questions the integrity of game. I am shocked he is only getting a year.
