Inside The Gambling Ring of NBA Referee Tim Donaghy
VICE “Red Cards” revisits the 2007 NBA betting scandal. We follow the character of Jimmy “the sheep” Battista, the mastermind behind the scandal and the one who sparked NBA referee Tim Donaghy betting on his own games.
For the first time, Battista opens up about his side of the story, letting us in on the seduction of sports gambling and the…

They need to investigate Tyrese Halliburton 😂
How can he possibly be responsible for this illegal activity?
He's a white man.
White men are world renoun for their divinity.
This can't be right!
They got caught and did 15 months wow they still have millions in winnings, if you ask me it was worth it
RASHEEEEED WALLAAAACE
THATS MY FUCKING HIGH SCHOOL
The fact that I got in the bed with him changed my life dude remember you said you came to him to help you with this scandal
David stern used him as fall guy , g I messed up by tipping them off what you expect of billion dollar company to do u fools
Fuck is He crying for.? Betting is Legal now…😂
It happens in every sport. Been going on since sports started.
#scofftoster rules nba ma man.
Bastistha shut pot hole you threat to hurt Tim family they should of give u 50 years in prison loser
He still be betting on nba games
They owe me 17 years of my life bahaha
NBA refs need report cards… they get marked by an independent auditor. This is needed as millions are on the line each game and for credibility. They have refs admitting to cheating… even documentaries. The more the refs get wrong on that report card affects their pay and job security.
Happy not to see the standard "he's not sorry he's just sorry he got caught" comment.
What a hero
Lmao, who cares about degenerate loser gamblers?? This doc treats them like they cured cancer or something. Like his background or where he grew up matters at all.
Lmao I’m glad Vice went bankrupt.
What’s the locks today lil nigga
Terrible video that claims to be "Inside the gambling ring" also the sappy music with the degenerate loser crying at the end was laughable
Juat like soccer . The messi winning the world cups look very shady . Getting help from the ref.
Jimmy Battista is a total fraud. He didn’t get any information about QB’s like he claimed he’s just a degenerate gambler and a bag man. Stop watching Hollywood mob movies THEYRE BS. LOL rat clowns galore these days.
He was not the fall guy he ran,
Not just basketball. A lot of sports are corrupt. But people need entertainment so they don’t care. And his story makes no sense he said he made $2000 every game he had a win so how could he only have made $30 thousand. He said he fixed 47 games lost 10 so he won 37 times $2000 = $74000 This entire thing is still a coverup.
The got a year and a half in jail, for big time gambling. But u can 5-10 years for weed and shyt make it make sense
If you lay big on side bets such as spreads, totals, player stats, etc you'll see how rigged things are.
I once lost a huge soccer 1st half under Salzburg vs FC Red Bull due to a wide open header og 10 seconds before the whistle
Once lost 3k on Patriots score first and win when Mac Jones was good touchless rush fumble just tossed ball away other team kicks FG then got blown out
Once lost big on bottom 9th red sox game pitcher threw 15 balls without a sub singlehandedly ruined my total under
Lost big on huge favorite tennis player who got so far ahead and kept blowing leads but kept flashing shit eating grins
Lost big on a foreign volleyball match bet on set ml 20ish to 8 end score was like 24-25
Lost big on Tampa Bay lightening game total under last 3 seconds empty net goal one opponent vs the whole squad they just let him by to score
It never fails when I lay big I can see the screw unfold
Did He Say He Got In The Bed With Him? THAT $ BLOWN
This why Jordan is 6-0 in finals
The real victims are the people who lost money and the teams that “lost” who should have won.
They blacklisted Pete rose but these guys destroy lives and rake in millions and they are all free now……..smh at least Pete rose was actually a good baseball player. These guys are trash.
Obviously the NBA is in love with the Lakers. Ok NBA we get it, you love the lakers and the warriors and Denver nuggets. We gotcha
INVESTIGATE SCOTT FOSTER
All sports are rigged and about the money .. that’s why betting apps like FanDuel and DraftKings exist
This was a pretty bad little presentation. I Didn’t learn much
Steve Carrell should play the referee in the future movie
15 months 🤣🤦♂️
The best of the best of the best 😅 and they making popular carries , four steps and other shitty things
3:02 "This is a pool of talent… When you make it refereeing in the pros, you are doing it with the best of the best and there's very little margin for error with how poorly you can perform your job." SURE 😉😉😏😏
Theirs absolutely no way that Vegas can always , always, always be in the black. Unless theirs widespread corruption. No amount of “strategy” can make you have the edge in every single game. The fix is in boys! Don’t gamble. Cuz for them it’s not gambling.
A well known gambler said in the 90s I had 3 nba refs not named Tim D. all on my payroll full time
The woman has no opinion
This shit runs deep smh
Only did 15 Months and made over 100 million
watching a game at the mo and i swear its fixed. delaware vs copin

Ofc “Clifton heights” right outside of Philly…grimy🤢
