    Episode Three: The House of Cards Collapses Episode Three chronicles the October twenty three, twenty twenty five morning when the FBI arrested thirty four people across eleven states, including Trail Blazers coach Chauncey Billups, Heat guard Terry Rozier, and former player Damon Jones. The episode reveals two intertwined conspiracies: one using insider NBA information to manipulate prop bets across seven games, another involving Mafia-backed poker games rigged with X-ray tables and marked cards. The investigation exposes how the NBA cleared Rozier eighteen months earlier despite red flags, revealing the league's investigative failures and conflict of interest when billions in gambling revenue are at stake. The episode concludes by examining whether professional basketball can survive its gambling addiction or if the profit-integrity conflict is fundamentally irresolvable.

    Sports Betting Scandal When America Bet on Sports
    Oct 27 2025
    Episode Two: When America Bet on Sports Episode Two examines the seismic shift following the May twenty eighteen Supreme Court decision that legalized sports betting nationwide. The NBA, which had fought against legalization citing integrity concerns, immediately pivoted to embrace gambling companies as partners in multibillion dollar deals. The episode explores the explosive growth of prop bets focused on individual player performances, creating unprecedented opportunities for corruption and leading to widespread harassment of athletes by angry bettors. The centerpiece is the Jontay Porter case of March twenty twenty four, when the Toronto Raptors center was caught deliberately underperforming to help conspirators win bets on his unders. Despite his lifetime ban, the NBA cleared Terry Rozier of similar suspicious activity, missing warning signs that federal investigators were already following.
