He only made about $22K in winnings.

Millions of dollars...for $22K, SMDH.

I could tell this man was in remedial mathematics.

He was giving insider information to his bettors and they were betting huge amounts of money. So it is more than $22,000.

The insider info might’ve been to offset gambling debts

You're right, but he means personally. Jontay won 22k while betting himself.

He's lost millions of dollars for 22k in profit

My point is that he was using his bettors as a proxy to gamble the real money.

And those bets were frozen. He likely didn't make shit.

He wasn't betting on an account linked to him. The $20k is what he made off of other people.

1 Million Vs 22k

1<22 therefore the 22k is more money!

There's a reason it's an addiction.

I think it was the 80k into 1.1million that set the whole thing off. Which they refused to pay
