Gambling, Gangsters, And The NBA’s “Biggest Nightmare”
Description
As President Trump prepares for a week of international travel, his administration is zeroing in on crime both at home and abroad. The President says the U.S. has authority to strike drug-running boats from Venezuela and is considering National Guard deployments in more major cities to combat violent crime. Shannon Bream, Fox News Sunday anchor and host of the Living the Bream podcast, joins the Rundown to discuss the administration’s plans and the legal hurdles ahead.
Portland Trail Blazers head coach Chauncey Billups and Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier were arrested Thursday as part of a federal investigation into a mafia-linked illegal gambling probe. The allegations, which included rigged poker games and sharing inside NBA information to sports bettors, have raised questions about the integrity of the NBA and the dangers of legal sports betting. Dan Dakich, host of Don’t @ Me on OutKick.com, joins the Rundown to discuss concerns over high-earning professional athletes fixing prop bets, the NCAA’s recent decision allowing college athletes to bet on pro sports, and how increased regulation is helping detect and prevent betting manipulation.
