I would bet he's the addict. It also explains his backloaded deal, he knows he can't control himself. Time for a lifetime ban.

Good breakdown in this thread by a gambling addict who did time. Long story short Ohtani will be suspended

Babe Ruth would never... he's still the GOAT!!

[PhutureDynasty]

What a mess...

This is not good for the league either when your biggest star may have a crippling gambling addiction.

Zero chance the interrupter has access to his bank accounts to steal 4.5 milly.

Shoehi is fucked. Another L for the Dodgers.

[rileymartin]

So Ohtani knowingly "paid" his friends debts to "help him out", and then when he found out it was illegal, he was imbezzled?

Yea, the powers that be want this swept under the rug quickly...

He's gonna "retire" and play basketball for two years before coming back

I warned you about him, but you all didn't listen.

I'll take my victory lap now.

The Yakuza got to him

Say it isn't so.

I generally have an addictive personality, but I've never understood the allure of gambling. It just does nothing for me.

[Da Stars.]

Suspend the bum.

I don't understand it either. There is a reason they build big casinos and spend fortunes developing online gaming books, and it isn't to give you money.

You gambled for years man. Maybe not casino gambling. But in the futures markets.

No. I literally can make the odds in my favor and with a thirty year track record on the buy side, and more years before that on the sell side, I have the numbers to prove it. At some point, it stops being random and the value add over what the market has provided is attributable to alpha.

I've always considered gambling to be a trade of money for psychic benefits like excitement. For poor people who play the lottery to win 7 to 9 figure money, a tradeoff of a few dollars for X number of minutes of hope/psychic relief that you are going to escape your shitty life.

If you are looking to + your money via casual gambling, you are an idiot. Best case scenario you get lucky early and leave the casino right away. Most likely scenario you get grinded down over a meaningful sample size of events to lose more than you win.

Most casino players I know, if they think they are on a hot steak they raise the bet. I lower mine.
