Nba Betting Scandal

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The 2007 NBA betting scandal was a scandal involving the National Basketball Association (NBA) and accusations that an NBA referee has bet on games. In July 2007, reports of an investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) were made public, which alleged that during the 2005-06 and 2006-07 NBA seasons, referee Tim Donaghy bet on games in which he officiated and made calls affecting the point spread in those games. On August 15, 2007, Donaghy pleaded guilty to two federal charges related to the investigation, and a year later he was sentenced to 15 months in prison and three years of supervised release. As a result, the general reaction by the media was that the NBA's popularity would be hurt by the news of this scandal.
