Tucupita Marcano has been banned for life for placing hundreds of wagers on the Major League Baseball, including on his team\u2019s matches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marcano placed 387 baseball bets, including 213 MLB-related bets from October 2022 to November 2023, while he was playing for the Pittsburgh Pirates<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tucupita had not played this campaign due to a knee injury. He did not appear in any of the matches before his second stint with the San Diego Padres last November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MLB reports that Marcano bet over $150,000 in total on baseball, with $87,319 of that on MLB-related bets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
