Sports betting online had the Washington Wizards losing one of their best players as the NBA suspended guard Gilbert Arenas on Wednesday. It could be a long time before Arenas plays again since sports betting has his suspension as being indefinite.
Sports betting online odds on Washington are going to take a hit for a game or so and then the adjustment period will be over. Losing Arenas hurts Washington but there was no question in sports betting that he was going to get suspended. Sports betting online indicated that Arenas may never play in the NBA again. Arenas violated NBA rules by bringing guns into Washington’s locker room and NBA commissioner David Stern had some very harsh words for Arenas. Sports betting online had his statement saying that Arenas is being punished for his actions with an indefinite suspension and “perhaps worse.”
Washington went right along with the NBA in regards to the suspension of Arenas. “We fully endorse the decision of the NBA to indefinitely suspend Gilbert Arenas,” the Wizards said, “Strictly legal issues aside, Gilbert’s recent behavior and statements, including his actions and statements last night in Philadelphia, are unacceptable. Some of our other players appeared to find Gilbert’s behavior in Philadelphia amusing. This is also unacceptable. Under Abe Pollin’s leadership, our organization never tolerated such behavior, and we have no intention of ever doing so.”
Arenas is losing over $147,000 for every game he misses as sports betting online had it, and it is very likely it is going to be a long suspension. It could also be permanent as sports betting had it. Sports betting online had the suspension resulting from Arenas bringing guns into the locker room and there were also reports that he and Javaris Crittenton had an altercation. Arenas had not taken the incident seriously enough and had been joking about it. It is unlikely he will be joking about it any more since he is not going to play in the NBA anytime soon, if ever. Sports betting online indicated that it is only a matter of time before the Wizards find a way to get rid of him.
Before Wednesday’s sports betting game against Cleveland the Wizards were 11-21 straight up. They were not much better against the sports betting online number going 11-19-2. Washington might actually improve in sports betting online without Arenas and the distractions. They will miss his scoring since he was leading the team at 22.6 points per sports betting online contest, but they are unlikely to miss much else about him in sports betting online.
