Auburn’s Payton Thorne says bettors asking for money after losses

David Purdum, ESPN

Auburn senior quarterback Payton Thorne on Tuesday said criticism after losses, such as Saturday’s defeat to California, has included requests for money from bettors.

Thorne, appearing on “The Next Round,” said bettors have messaged him on Venmo, asking for money.

“They’re definitely not sending cash,” Thorne, who had four passes intercepted in the 21-14 loss to Cal on Saturday, said with a chuckle. “It’s funny. When they lose money, they want their money back. But when they win money on a parlay, no one’s ever sent me any of the money.”

Thorne made light of the requests for money during his appearance, but the issue is something that the NCAA is monitoring and trying to combat.
