How much do you think he hates his brother right now?

quote:

He and seven others were accused of taking 18.5 million yen, or $150,000, worth of bets based on the scores of 16 MLB games and 28 Japanese professional baseball games from May 12-18. It's not known if any of the games involved the Rangers.

At $3400 a game I can't see any way Yu Darvish wasn't involved in throwing games -- tough to resist an extra $3k on top of the $600,000 he makes per start.

No idea what the facts are, but given the League's history with this (i.e Pete Rose), it doesn't bode well for Darvish

I have no idea of the facts either, but did see a snippet from OTL. Yu is not accused of anything and is not suspected of anything. MLB is simply doing some due diligence.

Pete Rose's situation was a little more hairy than having a brother halfway across the world bet $3k on a small number of games in which he was on the DL.

Not disagreeing with that. I even said I don't know all the details. I'm just saying it may not just be a slap on the wrist if he is found guilty of this accusation

What accusation exactly? He isn't being accused of anything.

He's simply being investigated because someone so close to him is involved. It's due diligence. Not he's being accused and now we've got prove him guilty.

I just assumed Houston Summit was trolling.

If Darvish was implicated in a baseball gambling ring I don't think anyone on the forums thinks it would amount to a "slap on the wrist".

But anyone who actually read the report knows Darvish isn't anywhere near being implicated in anything, just standard operating procedure from the MLB and attention grabbing headlines.

Looks like I horribly mis-interpreted the article.

I read "he" and assumed they were talking about Yu, not his brother. Looks like the joke is on me this round

$150,000, even at 10% vig is only $15,000... What's **** move by his brother. Yu needs to let him know just how serious it could have been...

No links were found between Yu and his brother

I'll bet you feel stupid now. Rimshot.

I'll also bet that onceaggie is off his medication again, along with the other mental patients that star his posts.

Considering I was the first one here to announce he was innocent, You would lose that bet. If I felt stupid I would edit my posts and never come back here again. But good try Danny Boy. Hope you enjoy your Sunday

It was obvious he wasn't involved in that pissant operation from the very first article, which you didn't read beyond the headline (if that far).

Damn dude, relax. The guy from Houston owned up to it. Let it go, Danny.

Dallas people get sore buttholes in a hurry
