A South Mississippi casino is in the news as the center of the latest sports scandal. Harrah’s Gulf Coast in Biloxi is the site of 30 disputed bets involving Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier.
As federal prosecutors investigate whether Rozier manipulated his performance as part of an illegal sports betting scheme, additional details surrounding the Rozier case have been made public. A report by ESPN on Friday shed light on the unusual wagering activity under scrutiny, noting that “a professional bettor placed 30 wagers in 46 minutes, all involving Terry Rozier in a 2023 NBA game.”
“On the morning of March 23, 2023, a bettor at a sportsbook in Biloxi, Mississippi, placed $13,759 in bets on the unders on Rozier’s statistics in a game that night between the Charlotte Hornets and New Orleans Pelicans,” according to the documents, which ESPN acquired through an open records request.
