Baseball Players Caught for Online Gambling - ??????

[I Heart Gambling Online]

Prosecutors are investigating more than 10 pro-baseball players suspected of having habitually bet tens of millions of won on illegal online gambling. Some top-class players are also on the list.

Prosecutors have confirmed that 12 to 14 baseball players played Baccarat on an Internet site.

The site was different from the one that baseball player-turned-show host Kang Byung-kyu used, a prosecutor said. Kang was earlier booked for gambling on an Internet site which broadcast Baccarat games live from a casino in the Philippines. He allegedly bet 2.6 billion won and lost about half of it.

The prosecution will summon the players soon for questioning. ``We examined whether other people borrowed the players' names for membership of the gambling site, but we secured evidence that the players themselves gambled,'' the prosecutor said.
