True documented amounts wagered on NBA basketball uncovered by Sports Gambling expert RJ Bell.

Las Vegas, Nevada (July 22, 2007) – The sports world is buzzing over reports of the FBI investigating NBA ref Tim Donaghy for allegedly betting on games that he refereed. Accusations against this referee include the very serious charge of game-fixing.

Press reports on this scandal have been riddled with incorrect gambling information.

RJ Bell, president of Pregame.com, has uncovered documented amounts wagered on NBA basketball:

* The amount gambled on sports illegally is almost 170 times bigger than the amount bet legally (380 billion vs. 2.25 billion per year), according to the National Gambling Impact Study Commission.

* 61 million dollars was bet on the NBA in May 2007, according to the Nevada Gaming Control Board
