The NBA is scared shitless right now about what's coming out and that should extend to every single league and conference.
No, it's not. There's not a single NBA fan who gives a shite. All the MSB Association fanboys on here are still going to watch. They care more about the drama and soap opera aspects of the sport than the game itself. This is just more drama for them to post about. It's not going to get any of them to stop following the sport.

Watch his video. He explains the whole process. He found his faith in prison, specifically while 2 yrs in solitary. He told his dad,, serving 40 yrs in prison, on several visits. But, short version, he told his dad that his ( Dad) whole family, 2 daughters, a son, his wife were all destroyed by the lifestyle. And he did not want his family destroyed as well. But the big reason for his walking away ( his words )from the Mob was his newly discovered faith. He is a strong Christian. ..He also says a factor in his ability to "get away" was that he never "cooperated" with the FBI, he put no one away & did not cause any "harm" to any Family memebers.

You can’t. always for all times a rule with the mob.
Now if you play his speeches backwards, there’s likely a message in there saying for the latest action, call Guido at 1-800-Bet-here

He was lucky in that the mob had bigger issues at the time. This was when the Feds were coming down on Gotti, etc. He never turned on anyone and most every mon member he was associated with was dead or in prison.
Dude was lucky to get out and he addresses it in his talks.

Is this where we act like gambling and game fixing is any way new?
No.
This is where you are stupid enough to act like legalizing these things won’t have numerous unintended consequences and make the sports worse overall.
See: paying players, and your takes on that topic

This law is inconsequential. What isn’t inconsequential though is the ease of betting on sports now having a major influence on college sports
It wa snot easy 30 years ago for a random college student to find a way to bet on a college game. Now it’s easy as a shite which definitely makes it far easier for it to trickle to a player through a friend etc and anyone who denies that is crazy
30 years ago it would only be degenerates with bookies who could get to a college kid. Now every single friend and classmate has it on their phone a click away

30 years ago maybe, but 15-20 years ago it was. As soon as iPhones came out it became easy

Was still a pain in the arse enough when I was in school to the point 99% of people didn’t do it (15 years ago). I only knew like 2 total people that did it. Now I don’t have a single friend that doesn’t
Had to setup an offshore account and bet overseas. I would bet the number is close to 70% of college students now have a gambling app on their phone
But to your point; now that it is so easy to bet it doesn’t matter what laws they try and pass the cats out of the bag

How were you sports betting online through American companies in 2009?
Man I know you are you but it wasn’t in the same galaxy today

College sports betting becoming legal and accessible through online portals was a wild massive game changer when it came to influence on college athletes and betting

Go pull up to a booth of hungover bitches at brunch Sat or Sunday morning. Half of them will have betting apps.

Dude even for you you need to quit. The amount of sports betting by college students in the last 5 years has completely exploded with opens the door far more for influence on college athletes

Dude, every bookie ever has been using the same app for like 2 decades. You didn’t know, that’s fine, you’re just making yourself look like a retard

There are so many studies I can share which will show the explosion in sports betting from the 18-22 year old population in recent years but you won’t care
