How Stupid is This Guy?

[stil370]

Check this guy out. He plays in the NFL and bets against is own team in a parlay bet. But the incredible thing is that when he filled out the application at the casino, under employment he says he is a "professional football player"

Too many bumps to the head can be bad,,,, :withstupi

 

[damkoMTK]

Did he at least win the bet? lol

 

[Synopsis]

I totally understand not being allowed to bet on your own games, but why not be allowed to bet others? I figure they think there could be collusion, and odds are that would probably be true. Every one knows you can't bet on your own games though... and this isn't a rookie either... and did it in person... geez... almost like he wanted to get in trouble.

No conflict of interest there LOL

Bet against yourself and throw the match easy money ...

 

[ACESOVEREZZZ]

DAH

Certainly NOT the sharpest crayon in the box to say the least. Guess he didn't have a financial adviser to tell him to at least have one of his buddies place the bet.

Guess when God was passing out brains he didn't hear him right and thought nah no need I was told I am getting a new train set this Christmas.

One cornerback on his own isn't that likely to be able to swing the outcome of a game or influence the team's performance against the spread that much...

 

[ribbybruno]

Dum de dum dum dum lol wake up unreal if he really thought that was okay

 

[damkoMTK]

oh man, i was laughing hard... but now i feel sorry for the guy. He was wagering money and his career just for Cardinals to win against maybe Tampa, 49ers, Saints

 

[miamia]

Lol .

 

[Synopsis]

He would know every play where he won't have safetys up top. Any cover 1 man he could "trip" or just get beat which would do 1 of 2 things. It would give his man a wide open td, or it would force the onend safety that's on cover 1 to have to come to his side, leaving the far side wr with 1 on 1. That's a huge thing in both cases.

Im sorry to say Sir, but you must know very little about american football.

 

[25thinfantryman]

wow

 

[OzExorcist]

Y'all realise Josh Shaw (the player in question) has been on injured reserve and hasn't played a snap for the Cardinals, right?

Shaw, who is currently on injured reserve for his shoulder, has not played a game for the Cardinals this season. Initially drafted in 2015 by the Cincinnati Bengals, he recorded 108 total tackles and one sack in 55 career games.

Integrity = low
Honestly = high
Stupidity = high
NFL employability = low

and suddenly it would turn out. not check - do not know.

He should consider becoming an actor, don't know if he has any acting ability, but he would fit in nicely IQ wise.

 

[akgross]

He makes these bets because he knows the strength of his team. He puts the loss on his team against the favorite, or knows that the match will be negotiable. There can be no other options. He is an insider on his team.

Who are you talking about?

Opinion

Not correct to bet if you are a pro sportman/woman. Someone wrote why can not bet to other teams but 1. they earn so much money we can not imagine, 2. then it is possible to speak and make bet together then it results pre-recorded results and thus we can never win bets. And something else if you bet against your team also not play very well to lose? Very very interesting.
