Hockey Betting Scandal
 

Been listening on the radio and this will probably get ugly.

But I always wondered why a pro player, say hockey, can't place a bet say...on the superbowl...Why not?, that doesn't mean the guy will turn bad and start throwing hockey games etc.

Gretzky's wife???? Whats up with that?:smash:

I'd bet a c note on that :eyes:

Whats the problem...its reported they were betting on non-hockey related sports?:huh:

It wasn't the fact that he was betting....it was the fact that Tocchet was running it as a bookie....that's illegal.

Its also illegal to be placing bets with someone who isn't licensed by the State......The government wants their cut you know.

Funny...Gary "Bettman" wants to see Tochet!:rotf2:

So is it "ok" with the league if a player puts a "legit vegas type" bet on another sport? I think not? though I think it should be ok.

In hockey you may bet "legally" on any other sport as long as its not hockey...Also it seems a major crime family in South Jersey and Philly has been involved...Just the tip of the iceberg...

Ya right, just ask Pete Rose if it's ok :whackin:

I heard a Bruins player named today but it slipped my mind who, Hockey gonna get a big black eye for this one, as if they needed any negative publicity now, really how many people are actually watching?

One news story named Travis Green.

I bet that he's a healthy scratch tonight.

Also talk of Mob related activity

...betcha it's going sink gretzky.

Janet Gretzky a very attractive middle-aged woman with money facing prison.

Prison or spill your guts.Wonder what she'll do?

I highly doubt she will be going to prison, odds are the govt will keep all the money confiscated and all concerned will get a slap on the wrist.

:smash: :smash: :smash: :smash: :smash: :smash: :smash:

Just what the NHL needed !!!

Ya especially after he went on TV and threw his wife to the wolves, if they find it was him all along and he just lied OH man is he gonna crash and burn

so let's get this straight...gretzky assistant coach and his wife but not him.........yeah right. and he throws the wife under the bus...wow what a turd.

Not when it involves RICO.She may certainly not go up but many others most certainly will and she is the instrument that'll send'em up!

Anyways who cares?

DAYTONA BABY!!!

oh man this is gettin uglier by the minute ;o

Sportsflash on EEI says that wiretaps have Gretzky talking on phone about the gambling operation. This was BEFORE the case was announced. Even though the tap doesn't contain evidence that Gretzky did any betting, it shows he clearly lied about not knowing anything about it.

:call:

See what money will get you into :D
A ton of trouble, this guy has or had more money then whats in Ft Knox

i never trusted that smile of his, kinda like the cat that ate the canary.

I heard she took the Over for Officiating Miscues in the Superbowl and made a killing...:D

According to New jersey law its not illegal to place bets, but its illegal to collect them. Sounds like entrapment to me.:huh:

:yawn: :sleeps: Yawn already! I could care less about hockey or the betting scandal!

gonna be more than just hockey folk.

Ya mean...:err: it might include carnies too?
