Source: ‘Pervasive’ Wagering From Colts Player Includes Bets On His Own Team Of hundreds of bets placed by Colts player, a considerable amount were made inside team facility, source says Amid the NFL’s ongoing investigation of a wave of potential violations of its sports betting policy, Sports Handle has learned that a player for the Indianapolis Colts is under investigation for what a source called “pervasive” wagering activities. While the new allegations around the Colts appear to be “isolated to one player,” there is evidence the Colts player placed hundreds of wagers, the source told Sports Handle on the condition of anonymity. At least some of the wagers, the source told Sports Handle on Sunday, were placed on the Colts. This information comes not long after the NFL suspended five players in April for sports gambling violations. Of the five, four violated league policy by placing wagers last season as members of the Detroit Lions. Over Memorial Day weekend, The Athletic reported that the league is investigating another player on the Lions’ 2022 roster for a possible gambling violation. The Colts player appears to have made the wagers through an account opened by an acquaintance, the source noted. Sports Handle has not been able to independently verify if the player placed any wagers on his team during the 2022 NFL season. Although the player is not considered a superstar, an ardent NFL fan has probably heard of him, according to the source. Most of the wagering occurred during 2022, with some of it extending into 2023. The player is still on the Colts’ roster, the source revealed. Indiana Gaming Commission Deputy Director Jenny Reske told Sports Handle Monday that the IGC is looking into the potential violations by the Colts player. “I can confirm that we have received information pertaining to this matter and we are following developments,” Reske said. “The IGC is not the lead agency because it involves violations of league policy. We will, however, continue to review information as it emerges to see if it requires any regulatory action.” |

Gambling at all is kind of a dumb thing for these guys, but gambling on your own team? How do you not know that that's a death penalty offense? This made me laugh. An ardent NFL fan has pretty much heard of everyone in the league.

Gambling is intertwined with everything in the NFL. It's bullshit these guys can't participate. Just ban them from betting on the NFL and allow every other sport.

Someone said it in another thread but just make it so all bets have to be logged with the league office and they aren’t allowed to bet on the games they play in.

The NFL is going to view this as a big enough gambling issue could threaten the entire existence of the league. If a substantial enough gambling scandal were to occur, the competitive history of the league would be nigh irreparably tarnished. None of us are old enough to remember the Black Sox, but we are old enough to read about it, and that scandal very nearly resulted in the death of Major League Baseball. It's difficult to understate the impact of fans not even being sure whether there is any integrity to the end result of games, especially the biggest games of the season. They will continue to crack down on this with the complete iron fist because they view it as protecting the integrity of their league. |

It's just playing with fire and to what benefit? Sorry guys - for the few years you're in the league, you don't get to gamble on sports. That's a condition of working here.

Seems like the other leagues have it right and the NFL is doing it wrong.

If you think in terms of "star" that regular people would know there are exactly two stars in the NFL at DT and even then it's a stretch. Maybe it's Jacoby Brisset |
