The Temple men’s basketball team has played several games this season with unusual betting patterns, drawing attention from betting regulators. The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board confirmed that a gambling monitoring service flagged their recent game against Alabama-Birmingham, leading to major betting operations like Fanatics Sportsbook and FanDuel refusing to offer wagering on their upcoming game. The American Athletic Conference is also looking into the matter, and experts find the irregular betting patterns too unusual to ignore, prompting a review of the team’s season by The Athletic.
U.S. Integrity is investigating unusual betting activity in the recent Temple vs. UAB and Loyola (Maryland) men's basketball games, prompting concerns about potential gambling violations. Both programs are under scrutiny, with Temple being monitored for a while. While flagged betting activity isn't conclusive evidence, previous instances involving U.S. Integrity have led to repercussions for those involved. The Loyola program promptly reported an individual's gambling violation to the NCAA, leading to their removal from the program. Additionally, Temple's recent coaching change adds another layer of complexity to the situation.
An investigation is underway into unusual wagering activity surrounding Temple men’s basketball after a watchdog organization flagged irregularities ahead of a recent game. The school, the American Athletic Conference, and U.S. Integrity are tight-lipped about the investigation, and it's unclear what exactly is being looked into. The Owls have been under scrutiny for a while, and recent social media chatter in the sports betting space around their games has raised eyebrows. The investigation comes after Temple's game vs. UAB saw significant line movement and a lopsided loss, prompting questions about the team's performance and the integrity of the betting activity.
The men's basketball game between UAB and Temple raised concerns of "unusual wagering activity" flagged by gambling watchdog company U.S. Integrity, with the betting line shifting significantly before tipoff. UAB went on to win 100-72, while Temple has lost back-to-back games and is being monitored by U.S. Integrity. The watchdog group provides monitoring and education services to college conferences and recently uncovered a gambling scandal involving Alabama baseball.
U.S. Integrity, a sports data integrity company, has launched a tip hotline called "Athlete Alert Powered by RealResponse" to help athletes, coaches, and staff anonymously report suspicions about gambling activity to regulators and law enforcement. The hotline allows individuals to report integrity-related concerns such as the misuse of insider information, match-fixing, game manipulation, or illegal wagering. The tips would go to regulators who could then verify them and bring the matter to law enforcement. The hotline comes after U.S. Integrity played a role in an ongoing investigation into possible wrongdoing involving the University of Alabama baseball team.
