Porter under investigation for prop betting involving himself

Toronto Raptors center Jontay Porter owned and operated a VIP account at FanDuel in Colorado that wagered millions of dollars in total from 2021 to 2023, multiple sources with direct knowledge told the Action Network.

One of those sources said FanDuel did not accept any wagers on the NBA or college basketball from Porter, whose brother, Michael Porter Jr., is a pivotal member of the Denver Nuggets team that won the NBA championship in 2023.

Porter allegedly placed over 1,000 wagers at the sportsbook. “He was firing all of the time,” a source said.

Porter was a member of three different NBA G League teams during these alleged wagering activities. Porter's FanDuel account activity ceased a few weeks before he signed a two-way contract with the Toronto Raptors, a source said.

ESPN reported in March that Jontay was under investigation by the NBA due to irregular betting activity on his prop bets. During two games earlier this season, wagers on Porter to underperform were the most profitable bets of the day, according to data from DraftKings. Porter played but left early in both games with reported ailments. Each time, anyone who bet the under on Porter's props profited.

A request for comment made to Jontay Porter's agent was not returned.

Last Thursday, Colorado gaming regulators requested sportsbooks in the state to report any accounts that Jontay may have operated.

“We are requesting that you review all patron accounts thoroughly to identify if Jontay Porter has ever had an account with your sportsbook,” the letter, sent to all Colorado operators, read. “If so, please review Mr. Porter’s account for wagering activities on NBA-affiliated games. Note that all wagering activities by Mr. Porter on NBA-affiliated games shall be reported to the Division immediately.”

The deadline for operators to submit Porter’s activity was the end of business on Monday.

The NBA bars wagers of any kind by its players or employees on the NBA or its affiliated properties, including summer league, the G League or the WNBA. Wagering on other sports is not explicitly prohibited. A spokesperson for the NBA declined to comment.

Jontay Porter is currently on leave from the Raptors pending the investigation.

On Jan. 26 — in a game against the Clippers — bettors profited heavily on Porter's unders, with some wagers in the five-figures.

Porter's over/unders that day at DraftKings were 5.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 0.5 3-pointers, giving bettors the option to wager on him to attain more or less of each of those figures.

DraftKings reported that the under on Porter's 3-pointers was the most profitable wager that day. Porter attempted zero 3-pointers and finished the game with zero points, three rebounds and one assist.

Porter left that game after playing just four minutes, citing a re-aggravation of an eye injury he suffered four days prior.

Sportsbook house rules mean wagers are only valid if the player plays in the game. If Porter had not played, under bettors would not have cashed their bets and wagers would have been refunded with no profit or loss.

On March 20, in a game against the Kings, Porter also left the game early, this time due to a reported illness. As in January, the under on Porter's props were the most profitable bets of the day, according to data from DraftKings. The sportsbook posted his points total at 7.5 and rebound total of 5.5. He finished the game with zero points and two rebounds.

As a VIP, Porter was afforded the typical perks provided to a client who bets a substantial amount, including promotional activity and tickets to sporting events, sources told the Action Network.

A FanDuel spokesperson declined comment, citing the pending NBA investigation.

During this time, Porter operated a Discord account that provided stocks, crypto and, occasionally, gambling advice for a monthly subscription of $49.99.

Jontay is Michael Porter Jr.'s younger brother by a year. Jontay Porter had been a five-star recruit out of high school, joining his older brother at Missouri. While MPJ became a lottery pick and a key member of the 2023 Nuggets championship team — signing a five-year, $179 million deal in the process — Jontay Porter has struggled to establish himself in professional basketball.

Jontay tore his ACL and MCL during a scrimmage in Oct. 2018 while still at Missouri. Then, he tore his ACL again during rehab in early 2019. Despite the injuries, he opted to put his name in the ring for the 2019 NBA Draft, where he went undrafted.

He then bounced around the G League before signing a two-way contract with the Raptors in December, which paid him a prorated salary of over $400,000. Now, amid the NBA's gambling investigation, his career is on pause — indefinitely.

I've said all along that this would be one of the unlikeliest coincidences. It doesn't pass the small test. Coupled with Silver's comments, I am certain he's done.

So Porter didn’t bet on NBA games using his own account. The question now is did he use any spoof accounts? Or was he working with anybody else and tipping them off? Maybe. Possibly. But if investigators can’t find evidence then he may very well get off.

If he does get off, I hope he learns his lesson. Leave the sports gambling. Just keep gambling with crypto or the stock market instead.

ya there's a chance he may come back, but even if he's even suspended, teams may still stay away from him

Imagine how many players and refs have friends betting? You can't stop this no matter what.

Boban the other night intentionally missed a free throw so opposing fans could win pizza or something and was being pumped on social as a good thing. Yet he just f'd with integrity IMO. People have money at stake and it's really not all the different. Where is the line drawn in a league with so many subjective areas.

This entire hyper gambling era being promoted on the masses is unfortunate in the damage it will cause to many lives, and to the state of the NBA which has enough integrity issues. And there's absolutely no way to enforce integrity in the NBA within so many areas. No matter how many low level scapegoats like Porter they hang.

Considering he made over 1000 bets, I'd speculate that he's a gambling addict who got deep into debt. Maybe he bet on himself with spoof accounts to pay out of the debt, or maybe he did and then tipped off the guys to whom he he owed money. Considering he has a brother that makes over $30 mill a year, I'll bet MPJ had helped him get out of some jams until the debt got really high.

Who knows though. I've never bet on sports, so maybe 1000 bets is actually not that high (I know some people that bet like $2 a game during March Madness) and he's innocent, or he just needed some extra cash and didn't want to ask his rich brother for money...

[Bruin]

Yeah his career in the NBA might actually be over. Sad to see but he has nobody to blame but himself

[___Rand___]

So he's a gambler. Where did he get all that money?!

[HangTime]

So he's a gambler. Where did he get all that money?!

He does day trading and crypto.

Also, if you win and re-wager, it'll count towards your total.


If he didn't do gambling on the NBA, then he shouldn't be banned, or even suspended.


The NBA will probably make a new rule, that if you plan on joining the NBA, you can't have any previous betting history.
Or something like that.

1000 bets in what timeframe? It's not high at all (for a serious/pro bettor)...I mean, thats 2.5 bets per day for a year. Pro bettors sometimes make 10+ per day. When I was actively handicapping, I'd easily make 3-4 bets a day on the NBA as a whole. Shoot, sometimes I'd make 3-4 bets on one game. It's like counting cards...if you have an advantage you need to put more bets and more money down in order to leverage the advantage and make profit. Though obviously if you miscalculate, the more bets you put down, the faster you lose. There's definitely a skill to sports betting, but it's extremely time consuming (essentially a full time job), and that's why I stepped back from it after several profitable years turned into a down year or two (as I got lazy with the job).

In terms of P/L, based on a 50/50 outcome (most bets) and an average vig of -110, the average bettor loses about 4.5% of their bet, every bet. That's the "house advantage". So a $1,000 bankroll making $100 bets (10% of their bankroll every time) would lose $4.50 each bet (0.45% of bankroll), and thus they would have about 200 or so bets they could make, on average, before losing their whole bankroll. Betting 10% of your bankroll is deemed very high by most experts. 1-2% max is the general advice. So, that's 1000-2000 bets you can make before exhausting your bankroll, assuming a loss of 0.045%-0.09% of your bankroll, per bet. Assuming Johntay followed this 1% rule, and did bet 1000 times on FanDuel, the likely outcome is he had lost his entire bankroll, which if he was making $1-10,000 bets per game, would've been in the range of $100,000 to $1m lost. And this is on one site.

At the NBA/crpto/pro sports betting level it's not uncommon to have people with $1mil bankrolls...so a $10 or $20k bet would actually be a "responsible" amount for them.

[refshateRaps]

So he's a gambler. Where did he get all that money?!

His brother has hundreds of millions. I'm sure he might have thrown him a couple for the F of it.

The issue with Jontay could be that he has to live in that shadow of his brother and find other ways to make it to that level. This mentality of those with a more financially successful sibling can be problematic and cause the others to take greater risks. A reflection of our society where we are programmed to worship money from a very young age.

It's completely different. How is that Boban's problem?

If I made a bet that Dennis Rodman would show up with green hair, and instead he shows up with blue hair, how is it Rodman's fault that I lost money on my bet?

The issue is with intentionally missing shots. The entire premise of sports and sport betting is that each individual implicitly agrees to try as hard as they can to win the game/point/whatever they're doing. Your Rodman example is irrelevant as it's not sports related. It's a prop side bet, like the colour of the Gatorade, as it has no effect on the game itself.

That's why those badminton players got banned from the Olympics for throwing points in order to manipulate their rankings/draws for the next round: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Badminton_at_the_2012_Summer_Olympics_%E2%80%93_Women%27s_doubles It affected the integrity of the game (and brought shame to the sport)

...found guilty of "not using best efforts" and "conducting oneself in a manner that is clearly abusive or detrimental to the sport"

Intentionally missing a FT as part of a 2pt game where you're trying to get the ball back is part of gamesmanship and totally legit. Intentionally missing a FT cuz you "felt like it", becomes an integrity issue. I don't think this case was such a big deal, but it's a slippery slope. What about a guy like Johntay intentionally chucking his 3 pointers into the crowd so a group of kids can touch the game ball, in garbage time, down 35? Or a running back intentionally fumbling a ball with 5 seconds on the clock up 20 points. It has no bearing on the outcome of the game, but...some people will lose or gain money on that bet, and it also challenges the integrity of game. How do you know that he didn't fumble it because he's been pressured by bookies or organized crime?

It all comes back to the difficult problem of reconciling sports and sports gambling. How do you ensure the integrity of the sport when the athletes can be affected by those involved with sports gambling, and vice versa?

[DonDoolie]

I'm calling it right now he is getting a perma ban from the league once the playoffs are over. They are probably waiting to make the announcement so there aren't any distractions during the season about games being rigged especially during the playoffs

https://www.actionnetwork.com/nba/sources-jontay-porter-owned-and-operated-a-vip-account-at-fanduel

Toronto Raptors center Jontay Porter owned and operated a VIP account at FanDuel in Colorado that wagered millions of dollars in total from 2021 to 2023, multiple sources with direct knowledge told the Action Network.

One of those sources said FanDuel did not accept any wagers on the NBA or college basketball from Porter, whose brother, Michael Porter Jr., is a pivotal member of the Denver Nuggets team that won the NBA championship in 2023.

Porter allegedly placed over 1,000 wagers at the sportsbook. “He was firing all of the time,” a source said.

He was betting for someone else lol. Then learned he can help people hit their bets if they pay him.

[DelAbbot]

MPJ is a low IQ moron,

apparently so is his brother

[disoblige]

I am not suprised. Fraud is rampant. Watched so many crime shows. Normal people murder others for money. See Kawhi sister.

[2019nbachamps]

He's done. Silver will throw the book at him. The penalty from the NBA may be delayed while law enforcement also investigate.

If he wasn't in the NBA at the time of the bets, how could they punish him?

It feels like he has to be cleared.

Or am I completely missing something?
