On March 21, 1990, United States District Judge [[Nicholas John Bua]] sentenced Cortina and Angelini each to 21 months in prison and ordered each one to pay the $1,210 monthly cost of his imprisonment. Spadavecchio was sentenced to 18 months in federal prison, fined $50,000 and also ordered to pay the cost of his imprisonment.<ref>{{cite news |title=2 men sentenced for sports gambling |work=[[Chicago Tribune]] |page=3 |date=March 22, 1990 }}</ref> Bua rejected prosecutors' request for sentences of approximately twice those lengths, noting that no federal court anywhere in the U.S. had sentenced individuals convicted of similar crimes to sentences of the length that prosecutors were requesting.<ref>{{cite news |first=Adrienne |last=Drell |title=3 bet ring figures sentenced |work=[[Chicago Sun-Times]] |page=11 |date=March 22, 1990 }}</ref>
Cortina was released from federal prison in 1992, and later returned to federal prison after being convicted of other charges. He was released from federal prison for good on April 6, 1995.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.bop.gov/iloc2/InmateFinderServlet?Transaction=NameSearch&needingMoreList=false&FirstName=Dominic&Middle=&LastName=Cortina&Race=U&Sex=U&Age=&x=0&y=0|title
Cortina never was associated with the violent faction of organized crime. In fact, he and Angelini were known for not strong-arming clients but instead for treating them politely. In some cases, prosecutors said, the duo even suggested that their clients give up gambling for their own well-being.<ref name="Main 77"/>
