He’s a loyal friend. He could have buried Ohtani.Comment -
It was him who did it. Ohtani if he was doing it he would be betting himself on the props and never miss a bet. Like he can control how to get guys out and bet the over or under on strikeouts and never lose a bet.Comment -
6 years at this dude's age and health isn't worth any amount of money for taking the fall, just my thoughts.Originally posted by mjsuax13Comment -
He will be rich when he gets out.Originally posted by mjsuax13Comment -
That type of unusual betting activity would be flagged in no time and Ohtani would be banned for life.Originally posted by pavyracer
You were correct on the first sentence though.Comment -
I wasn't saying Ohtani needed to gamble to make more money. But if he was behind this then why bet on random games and not on games he could win the bets. So it was definitely the translator who was making all these stupid bets for himself.Originally posted by JohnnyJammsComment
