Allegations that FSU QB Winston shaved points in the Louisville game. Credible? Who knows. Possible? With this guy, you bet.

Wouldn't be surprised. We are dealing with a real piece of work

not too hard to believe. This has to be easier than stealing crab legs from a grocery store. :facepalm:

It's a close contest for supremacy between Winston's arrogance and his stupidity so I wouldn't put this past him.

In the bigger picture, when is enough going to be enough on the illegal gambling front? Legalize and regulate this stuff. It's against the law now almost everywhere but it's so weakly enforced that we're just begging for bad things to happen. This illegal bookmaker in Birmingham had his own web site that he was taking bets on. How much more out in the open could that be? And now this guy wants to beg out of the bet he took? What a crock. The worst operators get to have it both ways under the system we have now, they'll take your illegal wager, then stick you with no recourse when they don't like the outcome and smear your friend on the internet to cover themselves.

We're way more ready for the legalization of sports betting than we are for the legalization of pot.

Seems like a total reach and for something for them to grab onto. Maybe a PR move for their website? At the same time, it would not shock me either.

Heard about this on XM College Sports Nation as it broke. Apparently the FBI has been asked if there is an investigation and they can "neither confirm or deny." TMZ was the one to break this and they have been spot on with a lot of things especially with sports.

Yeah but it's tough to prove he was actually point shaving.

Paper trial via texting or money transfers? If he is betting on a game he is playing in, he is in BIG trouble......Winston, meet Pete Rose.

This. It doesn't matter if they can prove the fixing or not, if they can tie him to money wagered illegally he should be done forever.

Shocker! The source on this story is apparently a scum bag.

LOL at ANYONE that uses Incarcerated Bob as a source for anything. He just throws shit at the wall and hope it sticks. On a rare occasion he is right but he has an awful awful AWFUL reputation and no one should take anything he says seriously.

He's probably not involved in a point shaver scheme but because Winston is such a f*ck up off the field, anyone who reads the story does stop and think, "hmmm...yeah that's possible."

Nothing ever happened with this? I was waiting for Tim Brewster's name to surface. That guy is a shmuck
