ISU Gambling Megathread

[CycloneErik]

He was underage, over the new limits, on campus, and concealed it under his mom’s name… while betting on a game he was a backup in. You literally couldn’t add anything else to make it sound more ridiculously stupid.

Well, not with that attitude,

 

[CloneLawman]

That's leadership.

It was sensible for ISU. What would you have had done, O leader of men?

 

[CycloneErik]

You don't think this is going to be a big story all over the country? This is BAD.

It's ISU. Most of the country won't care in an hour.

Underage gambling should result in a fine and ton of community service!

Underage gambling, yes. Tampering with records, probably more.

 

[NY Chicago Fan]

You realize every other fanbase in the Big 10 literally calls them "Pedo State" now? Sounds like they've forgotten about it.

PSU problem is multiple times worse then a below avg QB being kicked off team for gambling

 

[Kinch]

Folks on Twitter calling for Campbell and/or pollard to be fired. Can’t tell if trolls or stupid

But definitely hok fans.

But definitely hok fans.

When the news comes out about their players we will see if they have the same reaction.

Crap, now they will probably blacklist all of the betting apps while on the Wi-Fi at Jack Trice. I’ll have to text Dekkers’ parents to get down in-game bets.

Someone has nicer seats than the common man if you are getting wi-fi at JTS

I am not condoning what Dekker's did but his attorney is correct, this is a matter for Iowa State and the NCAA. Under Iowa Code there is no law preventing him from placing the bets, the Iowa Code is specific to the gambling entity that they have to have controls in place to prevent such a thing from happening, but not the individual gambler themselves. I've posted the Iowa Code a few times in one of these threads.

Now the tampering with evidence is a no no, but can you really tamper with evidence of something that wasn't illegal?

No.1 The Story County attorney would not have filed the charges if he or she did not believe Dekkers broke the law. The Iowa DCI agent involved has experience with this and would not have referred the case to the county attorney to file
No. 2. In order to get the search warrant, a judge would have to agree with the affiant (either the DCI officer or county attorney) that there was probable cause a law was broken. That is a high bar that Dekker’s attorney conveniently leaves out. Doesn’t mean Hunter is guilty. But obviously a judge feels a law likely was broken.
I don’t think Dekker’s Attorney helped Dekkers in any way. Very poorly written.

It sounds like a lot more nefarious in the court filing than it does when you describe what likely happened- my read of it is simply that he logged in with her account on his phone to place bets. Still stupid, of course, but not exactly a massive conspiracy

Just curious, when he logs into her account from a different phone than hers, does she get notification (like many apps) that a different phone has logged in to her account

 

[BoxsterCy]

I really curious what Dekker's defense will be based on his lawyer pretty much saying he did it but didn't break any laws...

You can't fire me! I resign! This is the first thing in this whole ****** up mess that made me laugh.

"So he can focus on his studies and on the defense of this criminal charge, Hunter has informed the University and the coaching staff that he cannot participate in fall football camp."

Agree totally. Same reaction I had.

I think we should send similar notes.
It's not gambling for me. I'm just too busy for fall camp this year.

Iowa State QB Hunter Dekkers accused of betting on ISU sports, including football

Hunter Dekkers faces the potential loss of permanent eligibility with gambling allegations made public Tuesday.

He be gone IMO.

No, but the Geo-Location is very accurate and would tip off Draftkings or (FanDuel) that the same account was logged in and out at different locations in short periods of time.

Very easy to track and to find irregularities.

FanDuel is associated with Diamond Jo.

Hmmm

Just sayin

Edit: some apps send an email for every log in.

 

[Kinch]

So Dekker’s defense is “you can’t convict me because I come from a tiny town?” Good luck telling that to a jury in Story County.

 

[CySmurf]

Better be careful. All this scandalous behavior might get us a B1G invite.

Or an SEC invite...puke

 

[Big Daddy Kang]

i don't see how he can ever play competitive football again. what a waste.

 

[t-noah]

Yeah, what can you say, really?

Additionally, and I know I don't have to, but I'm offended that I have to read all of this stuff. It's time wasted. But I feel it is that important. I will probably read every page here.

Gawd, I hope no more kids, for sure at Iowa State, are this dumb in the future.
