Uh oh!

Do you think the NFL's alliances with Sports books is good or bad?

It's good - as long as gambling is legal.

It's okay, but I am wary it'll affect games eventually.

Uh oh!

Players suspended for gambling. Just a matter of time until this plays out to the logical conclusion down the road - games being influenced by gambling. Anyone not seeing the trajectory are being willfully ignorant. When it's about the money - all bets are off. Oh, see what I did there?

Within 5 years I fully expect a major gambling scandal to break out - the league is ALL about gambling now - it just seems so obvious it's inevitable. Naturally the NFL will shrug their shoulders and say "ooooops!" like they always do and pretend nothing's wrong.

Everything in this country and world seems to be heading in the direction of greater corruption and instability so i don't see why that wouldn't be the case here. I could easily see foreign money coming into play here as well.

20 years ago there were probably a few hundred thousand guys gambling on sports on a regular basis now it is probably 10s of millions. I predict an epidemic of gambling addiction coming soon.

Perhaps some Chinese "investors" will be running the NFL in another decade after our economy implodes from Democrap policies and "leadership". Then it will just become a farce.

Does that mean we don't draft Richardson, a QB that needs to be developed?

Hey DT, Bil, SA why didn't you vote in the poll? Could it be you all bet on sports and can't bring yourselves to condemn it? :lol:

I bet $1200 on the Hawks first SB. Would have won about $3k if they would have won by more than 10 points. After seeing the corrupt officials throw the game Pittsburgh's way, I gave up Sports gambling. lol
