Yikes. It was bound to happen sooner rather than later.

I'm guessing this is going to be covered IN DEPTH at future rookie symposiums.

Easy access for Raider players for sure. Woukd seem they could use an online betting app and be Kept private?

He missed 11 games last year for mental health reasons. It said this was during that period. Not saying in any way that is an excuse - this is rule #1 for any player. I also saw that many teams inquired about him but Atlanta did not enter into any trade discussions in good faith knowing it was coming.

What a moron...

 

[Russ Smith]

I've seen the argument he wasn't playing so what's the big deal but the big deal is you now don't know if you can trust him when he is playing.

Glad they suspended him, honestly surprised it's not for more than 1 year. I guess they're saying he didn't bet on games involving his team.

Or just have one of their friends make bets for them but in the friend's name rather than their own name. Pretty simple workaround.

NFL determined that Calvin Ridley placed multi-legged parlay bets involving 3, 5 and 8 games that included the Falcons to win, per source. Investigation determined there was no involvement from any team players, coach etc. placed via his mobile device out of state.

Calvin Ridley got caught because he placed a legal mobile bet in Florida with Hard Rock. They notified Genius Sports, who oversees betting integrity for the NFL. Ridley placed 3, 5 and 8 game parlay bets that did include the Falcons, per source.

Betting on his team too… what a moron.

I'm sure loads of players place bets but aren't dumb enough to use accounts in their name

Not a gambling problem. A lack of judgment problem.
