--------
Ex-NBA referee Tim Donaghy opened up about his gambling history which began with betting on golf matches and card games right after his hiring by the NBA. He didn't initially view himself as having a gambling problem, but eventually felt consumed by the urge to bet on any sport. Around 2003, Donaghy began betting on NBA games, using knowledge of refereeing scheduling and game spreads for betting insights. He emphasized that despite public perception, he never made unfair referee calls to sway games in his betting favor but used insider knowledge of the league and referees' strategies to anticipate outcomes. He compared this approach to insider trading, adding that while this gave him an advantage, his calls remained "correct."
