Could be all just bs, but worth posting. Can merge with the Crablegs thread.

• Bookie of Chris Rabb (Former HS Teammate) of Jameis Winston is "alleging" that they shared gambling account together since beginning of October.

• They bet on NFL/CFB/NBA/MLB (nothing crazy). • The bookie claims Chris Rabb squared up weekly on wins or losses.

• Account is run through local bookie in Birmingham,Alabama (internet/phone wagers accepted also in person). Bookie had no knowledge of Winston's connection to account when Chris Rabb approached him about setting up active wagering account.

• Bookie gave Chris Rabb Limit of $1,000 per week (nothing big here), allowed to make max wager of $400 on straight plays (On Internet) / $300 on teasers : only way to get more max bet for individual game is to meet bookie in person with cash at least 60 minutes before that particular game starts.

• Ex Teammate asked for permission to bet $5,500 on Louisville (1st Half), told to have funds available before game time (Note: biggest bet he made since opening account in October)

• Bookie meets with Chris Rabb morning before Louisville / Fla St game and receives $5,500 from Mr Rabb with instructions to bet Louisville +1 (1st Half) -110 to win back $5,000. Bet was placed and Louisville won 1st Half vs Fla St (21-7). Mr Rabb is now suppose to receive $5,000 for winning bet + his $5,500 initial bet (square up day is Tuesday)

• Bookie gets information late Sunday night that he's been "Played for a fool" as Mr Rabb and Jameis Winston are former teammates and conspired together on the above mentioned first half wager. Bookie wants no part of paying the debt. (i think he should pay he took the bet he knows the risk... just my opinion)

• Bookie is claiming he has betting screenshots of the bet and proof it's Mr Rabb's account (look below for all bets placed last week) Now does this mean we have a scandal on our hands? Does this mean Jameis Winston is gambling (crazier things have happened)? This certainly all could be a coincidence that a former HS teammate and close family friend (Chris Rabb) made his biggest bet ever ($5,500) on game where his friend (Jameis) had probably his worst half ever in college... it's all just a coincidence right? The following are the screens provided to IBN (click on them to get the larger version)
 
i just see his "friend" bets a shit ton of games. Bookie not wanting to pay up??

who knows, but interesting even if its fake
 
That kid just needs to get in the nfl where they have no problem covering up minor issues, and even some major ones
 
Whether he's innocent or guilty doesn't matter. What matters is that he and Rabb deny all allegations

Wasn't the Taj Boyd story fake, as well?

And the first thing that crosses our minds is situation that concerned former Clemson QB Tajh Boyd. IBN learned from sources back then that Boyd owed over $80,000 in unpaid gambling debts. Of course, Boyd and Clemson denied the story, trying to prove that the QB was clean off the field. Only trouble was when NFL teams investigated the claims they found some links to gambling within his inner circle of friends and it raised such a red flag that most NFL teams wanted nothing to do with him.. Quote from NFL source: "Proof of any gambling by Tajh was never uncovered , but we did uncover several shady characters in his inner circle that had ties to illegal gambling". How did Boyd's situation workout? Boyd now plays with the Boston Brawlers in the Fall Experimental Football League. Will the NFL overlook this with Winston's status as a Heisman Trophy winner and a BCS champion? Or will Jameis get the Tajh Boyd treatment? Remember this could be all just a "Coincidence" *Update* As of 9:45 AM est.. IBN attempted to reach out to Chris Rabb via phone and someone did answer the cell phone, we asked if he had any comment on "alleged" gambling rumors that involved him and his former high school teammate Jameis Winston, his answer was brief "Fuck boy how did you get my number?.. mind your business boy" that's when the phone hung up. - See more at: http://ibnsportswrap.com/article.php?articleID=1716#sthash.7Mt87nhR.dpuf
 
Still skeptical, but a player either giving info or directly betting against his own team has to be one of the most taboo and chickenshit things you can do in sports. Hope for the sake of the sport it's not true, but wow if it is. That would probably do more to hurt JW's draft status than alleged rape
 
nothing will happen by tomorrow, so he will play.

if more stuff comes out, which it will, he might be out next week

He has looked bad the past few first halves, then turned it on in the 2H.
 
Everybody knows someone who gambles and that includes athletes who play lined sports games/matches. There may be some truth to this and there may not be. #YourMedia
