In March, ESPN chronicled Jontay Porter’s investigation by the NBA for alleged irregular betting practices on his prop bets. During two games this season, bets for Porter's underperformance resulted in the highest profits for the day, as per DraftKings' data.
Porter chose to cut short his participation in both games, citing undisclosed health concerns. Consequently, all the individuals who gambled on Porter's underperformance collected their winnings.
From 2021 to 2023, Jontay Porter, managed a VIP account at Colorado's FanDuel, where he bet millions of dollars in total, as informed by several insiders to the Action Network.
FanDuel declined basketball wagers (either NBA or college) from Porter, says one insider. Porter's brother, Michael Porter Jr., played a key role in the Denver Nuggets' successful campaign for the 2023 NBA championship title.
According to allegations, Porter made over 1,000 wagers at the sportsbook. Recounting Porter's frequent betting activity, a source remarked, "He never stopped firing."
