Except there is a criminal complaint. Most likely he was booking bets for other athletes and now some of them have flipped to save their asses. If that’s the case, he could be toast.
Paniro Johnson done
- Thread starter Retro Hawk
- Start date
He wasn't doing that.
But he has a serious issue to wade through.
And yes, toast is on the table.
I wonder if Dresser placed bets thru Paniro that ISU would never finish in the top ten at Nattys?
That would explain continually running out crap lineups!

He needs an intervention more than charges being filed against him.
Actually not that difficult depending on the vet types. Betting favorites on the money line, especially baseball and basketball can easily keep your balance up while increasing the amount bet in total. Example…betting $100 on the Yankees at home to win straight up against the Royals to pay about $120. It’s not outrageous at all if that’s the gambling style. Of course, we have no idea.
We don’t have all the details, but my initial thoughts are sympathetic towards the kid. He’s super young and it sounds like he did a dumb thing. I’m sure many of us did way dumber when we were his age. I know I did. Hopefully, this whole thing can be used as a tool to help these (and future) young men not ruin their lives.
I didn’t have a pot to piss in when I was his age, so playing a few nickel slots would be the extent of my gambling 😉. This NIL money in the hands of young kids with easy access to online gambling now is a disaster waiting to happen. The son of a friend of mine is good at it, and has made enough over the last few years to buy a new truck. When they see success like this , they think it’s easy money, but more lose than win.
Huh?? Just a few months ago I bet on sports for the first time in my life, so admittedly I'm not very experienced. But when I've bet and lost, I've lost 100% of the wager amount. I bet $10, lose the bet, and get nothing. I don't understand your assertion that a bettor will lose only 5% of the amount he gambles. On the other hand, if I win a $10 bet, the payout of course depends on the odds.
How many gamblers do you know who are that disciplined? All it takes is a couple of upsets to take away modest profits made from only betting prohibitive favorites.
I’m hoping suspensions and/or loss of eligibility is as far as it goes, it’s going to suck if any of these kids get kicked out of school over this.
I don't see how any university can kick kids out of school over anything we've heard so far.
You separate athletics and academics.
In certain instances, being out of athletics might mean loss of a tutor, for example, and from a social interaction perspective it might be pretty difficult to stay.
I have a 20 something nephew with a really good job who was showing me his betting app on his phone. He said he deposited $200 6 months ago and he now has about $3600 in the account. He said he scans the bets every day, picks the "best" ones in his opinion and bets $20 on 2 or 3 things and slowly keeps building his balance. Said he has friends betting thousands with tens of thousands in their accounts. Seems crazy to me, but I can see the appeal in the "easy" money right up until you are in big trouble financially.
If we don’t do that 90 percent of the time we wouldn’t have anything to talk about…. 😂
83 per cent.
90% of the time it works every time!
This might a fun thing to do as a hobby…deposit a grand and make small weekly bets. It’s like anything else…in moderation it’s ok but know when to turn the lights out when the party is over.
I play $1 games (I know big spender) most every day but I do it for fun and competition, not trying to make money. My hatred of losing money just narrowly outweighs my want to gamble.
I make it a practice to only gamble where the payout is a lunch with a friend whose company I like or to a charity.
I think hearing over and over how they cast lots for Jesus' belongings during the crucifixion gave me a deeply held aversion to gambling. Also, I grew up somewhat poor, so paying the vig for the opportunity to gamble doesn't sit well with me. Part of my dependent arising, I guess.

Over time the odds and basic statistics favor the house. A certainty right up there with death and taxes. Very few 'sophisticated' gamblers can make a profitable go of it over the long term. Most amateurs that see early success will increase the amount they bet as their confidence increases, ultimately to their own peril.
To your point, we can all see the appeal, and to a 20 something student, there is the allure of what seems 'free money' in many places that proves hard to resist. Crypto is right up there as well. Time is the great equalizer.
As to your nephew, give us an update next year....
Used to play blackjack in Vegas for the free beer. Never really got into gambling.
I only bet on football and never more than 20 bucks…… last year I ended up a couple hundred up that I probably lost the year before 😂
It’s fun……. like playing fantasy football it’s another way to “participate” in football season…….I’m a football junkie
leave it to genius boy wonder to call fake news on a court affidavit from the dci.
Could never get into fantasy football. Too invested in the Chiefs to root for a guy on the opposing team because he's on my roster.
I agree with you on that point, however, it’s been a ratings bonanza for the NFL as the majority of FFL players watch more games because of it. I’ve watched MNF games just to root for a freaking kicker 😂.
Which turns him into an underaged/unlicensed bookie which could be a whole other can of worms.
Just spoke w/ people familiar with the situation.
The program says this is 100% inaccurate and are pretty furious w/ DMR.
They tell me Paniro Johnson will have absolutely zero penalties.
i.e. - this is fake news

Furious with DMR for reporting what is in the court filing?
i was just making fun of big brain smalls for tweeting that out about paniro last month. he is a good little pawn that coaches use for that type of thing.
What I took from this is that the clones had never had a B12 champ at 149 in their programs history before Johnson won it last season. That’s pretty crazy.
The Cyclones claim Metcalf as their Champion now. He has always been a Cyclone in his heart. Just ask them..
