Jameis Winston Allegations of Point Shaving Reportedly Tanked During Louisville Game
New reports have surfaced alleging Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston was involved in a point shaving scheme to help an old high school teammate win a $5,000 bet.
According to the report, Winston tanked the 1st half of the FSU vs. Louisville game on October 30th ... after his buddy Chris Rabb allegedly placed a bet for Louisville to be winning at halftime.
Winston's play in the 1st half was atrocious ... and FSU was down 21-7.
FSU eventually came back and won the game -- but according to the report, the final score had no bearing on Rabb's bet.
FYI -- point shaving is illegal and punishable by up to 5 years in prison.
So far, it's unclear if law enforcement is investigating -- but we're working to find out if that's the case.
7:55 AM PT -- We spoke with a rep for the FBI who tells us, "We are the agency that would investigate these claims."
However, when we asked if there was an active investigation into Jameis ... the FBI told us, "I can neither confirm nor deny that we are investigating allegations of point shaving."
