Investigation: Mysterious Bettor ‘Shoberto Ohnandez’ Placed $15 Million Wager On Angels Last Night​

Sports·Aug 13, 2025 · BabylonBee.com

LOS ANGELES — An investigation has revealed that a secretive bettor going by the name "Shoberto Ohnandez" placed a massive $15 million wager on the Los Angeles Angels to win last night.

The sportsbook that took the bet stated it has received several large wagers in the past from the mysterious Mr. Ohnandez, who won his bet shortly after Shohei Ohtani hit into a triple play in the eighth inning.

"He's got an incredible betting record, Mr. Ohnandez," said bookie Ross Marmot. "I couldn't believe he cashed in last night. Triple play, and then the Dodgers get walked off in extras? Amazing. He stopped by with his interpreter to pick up his winnings, but he was in a hurry. I caught something about a land thing in Hawaii worth a lot of money."

At publishing time, Mr. Ohnandez had declined a request for an interview, stating he had work starting at approximately 9:38 p.m. Eastern time.

So funny how quickly the investigation went before the 2024 season. It was like one interview and they conclusively determined Ohtani knew nothing about it.
"No one is above the law!" was the dumbest mantra ever. Of course some people are above the law, and maybe they should be

Legalized sportsbook betting is the devil....Before it all shakes out I believe you will have monstrous scandals in every major sporting league. Way too much money involved for it not to happen.

The league reaction will be what to watch given the sportsbook lobby has so much monetary influence over them all now.
