00:00one of the bigger free agents on the market is malik beasley but he is in the news already

00:05because there is now a federal investigation into malik beasley in a federal gambling probe

00:12as you see there one of the top free agents on the market malik beasley who played last season

00:19in detroit with the pistons was in serious talks already with that pistons organization

00:24on a new three-year 42 million dollar contract but those conversations for one of the best

00:30three-point shooters in the nba that being malik beasley have now been put on hold it is important

00:37to note an investigation is not a charge malik beasley has not been charged with anything as

00:43his attorney steve haney was quick to remind espn and sham sharania yesterday but drs a gambling probe

00:50into beasley based on one prominent sports book noticing some irregular trends in his account

00:57back in 2024 now was this his account they noticed on like his personal account or was it just they

01:04flagged the actual numbers on that because that does change the issue here but because but the

01:09funny part about this is is i'm reading some of the details on it right the over two and a half rebounds

01:13which priced at an under of a plus 118 and you're like okay if that number is changing a lot because

01:19it finished up at minus 256 but then he goes way over the total like the flags for me would be like

01:24all right let's put two and two together right like okay malik beasley's rebounds are two and a half

01:28and in the first quarter mysteriously leaves the game because he said his ankle hurt or he had

01:32cramping in his calf and never came back into the game and it won that way the interesting part is like

01:37that two and a half he skied over that number so that odd line movement got smoked here and was a loser

01:43but here's the good part as well which you'll flip it over because most people will look at this and say

01:48this is why we can't have gambling because players get involved in gambling no that's not

01:52correct this is why we have legalized gambling so we can track these things and flag them immediately

01:57and then serve up justice and say you know what do this again to anybody else you will also be caught

02:02at this so it's not viable if we didn't have legalized sports betting and you could do this

02:06offshore nobody would care at that point nor there would be an investigation because it's illegal sports

02:11gambling and let's just say it would be offshore so taking a look at this it makes sense which is

02:15the way they found them like right ben if they would have said like hey malik had one rebound

02:19and it won you like now hold on like that doesn't make any sense but the fact that got smoked with

02:24that big line movement in the opposite direction it's kind of funny it's almost like hey you know

02:28what i hate these guys i hang out with i'm gonna tell them to bet this under and i'm gonna go over

02:33to show them a lesson like that's what it feels like happened in this scenario
