Arenas' bets with fans frowned upon

Gilbert Arenas was admonished by the NBA for making $10 bets with fans during the Washington Wizards' loss at Portland on Wednesday.

"We spoke to Gilbert and explained the issue to him," NBA spokesman John Acunto said Sunday. "And he assured us he wouldn't do anything like this again."

Arenas said on his NBA.com blog that he made $10 bets with two fans during the game and had obtained their e-mail addresses so he could pay them off.
