Louis Lanzano / Associated Press NEW YORK -- How much Tim Donaghy profited from his betting scheme, and how far he went to do so, still is not known. This much is certain: Donaghy wagered on games he officiated, and he did it longer than previously thought. The disgraced former referee started betting on NBA games in 2003, long before he began tipping off high-stakes gamblers with inside information and recommending which teams to bet on ---- with a reward of $5,000 if his picks hit. The stunning allegations emerged Wednesday as Donaghy pleaded guilty to two felony charges in a scandal that rocked the league and tarnished the integrity of the sport. "By having this nonpublic information, I was in a unique position to predict the outcome of NBA games," Donaghy, standing ramrod-straight with his hands clasped in front of him, told the judge in a Brooklyn courtroom. Donaghy, who was released on $250,000 bond, faces a maximum of 25 years in prison when he is sentenced Nov.
