Jameis Winston Allegedly Involved In Point Shaving Scheme
Another week, another Jameis Winston controversy.
Allegations have surfaced that Jameis and a former high school teammate were involved in a point shaving scheme last Thursday during Florida State’s matchup with Louisville. Winston wasn’t just playing like donkey shit during the first half–instead, he was intentionally tanking it, according to the report.
Winston’s buddy, Chris Rabb, had allegedly placed a $5,000 wager on Louisville +1 in the first half. If true, Rabb cruised into an easy payday after Winston threw two early interceptions and the Cardinals took a 21-7 lead into halftime.
Then, with the exception of an interception in the first drive of the third quarter, Winston seemed to just turn it the fuck on. He torched Louisville’s secondary and led the Seminoles to a 42-31 victory, covering the overall 4.5 point spread and costing this writer dearly. I’m still having nightmares about that backdoor cover.
If any ounce of these allegations is true, Jameis is, without question, done. Goodbye Tallahassee, possibly even goodbye freedom. Point shaving is punishable by up to five years in prison. Trust me, people flip their shit when the integrity of a sport is in question due to gambling. Just ask Tim Donaghy or Pete Rose. Jameis would immediately take the mantle as the most polarizing figure to ever chuck a pigskin at the collegiate level. I can already see the “30 for 30” that will no doubt be made in 10 years playing in my mind as I type this.
As of now, it’s unclear whether or not the FBI will investigate the allegations. Regardless, this roller coaster ride in Tallahassee just won’t stop. Buckle up, Seminole fans, because this will either end with you exiting through the gift shop with a national championship trophy or flying off the fucking tracks..

11 years ago at 11:58 amWhether or not the allegations are true, the fact that you can hear a story about Jameis shaving points and think yeah that’s definitely possible shows how much this kid fucks up.

Take some laps
11 years ago at 2:01 pmLaps for all of you for believing a deadspin level article is fact
11 years ago at 3:50 pmIt’s about time to step down, champ. You’ve had your fun.
11 years ago at 1:45 pmThis whole list sounds pretty frat…
11 years ago at 1:23 pmThey asked a representative of the FBI if they are looking into Jameis Winston and the allegations. He said he can neither confirm nor deny, which pretty much means, Yes we are but we aren’t going public with the investigation right now.
11 years ago at 11:52 amOr maybe Louisville came out with more intensity during the first half, the FSU players got chewed out at half time and started playing better. Let’s wait for facts.
11 years ago at 11:53 amI’d rather make wild assumptions.
11 years ago at 12:15 pmThat sounds like something a crazy liberal would do.
11 years ago at 10:21 pmSeriously, #blamejameis

11 years ago at 11:55 amJameis Winston is blessed with tremendous athletic ability and a free college education and he continues to piss it away
11 years ago at 11:59 amThat wasn’t a backdoor cover. A backdoor cover is when a big underdog is losing by more than the spread, but scores in garbage time to cover, after the game was already out of reach and the favorite took its foot off the gas.
11 years ago at 12:00 pmThis is one scenario, yes, but you can also get backdoored by a favorite covering with a late TD. FSU could have just ran the clock out.
11 years ago at 12:04 pmHow much do do you bench, JH?
11 years ago at 12:10 pmThey threw a 2 yard pass to a fucking slow FB that UL couldn’t manage to tackle 40 yards out. Nice try.
11 years ago at 1:20 pmYou could get backdoored by Dorn if you’re younger than 13.
11 years ago at 3:45 pmSolid name
