I bet on golf, it's hard to fix golf unless you pop someone with a false positive covid test. So no I'm not worried about these issues.

How much would you have to pay an NFL or NBA player?

It would be so much that you'd need to lay down a suspicious amount of money and the casino would flag it.


Not much at all. Chances are they already owe me from gambling debts. Most players are ghetto criminals. You don't pay them shite.

It’s not always money being offered to the players. A lot of the times it’s dirt on the player or a family member that money can’t buy, such as someone having an affair, drug based, the player is gay but hasn’t come out yet but the blackmailer has proof, etc.

You would be surprised how often that stuff happens.

I think fantasy sports are far worse than sports betting.

Legalized gambling can help flush out 1-3 due to oversight (monitoring for trends). Far more likely when gambling is underground as it is now. As far as #4, part of living in a free society. You now where you don't have to worry about vices such as gambling and alcohol becoming problems: Most of the Middle East.

All the baws that fish or hunt or golf at a country club are certainly net positive in their hobby

Golf is great to bet on because you get 4 days of worth of enjoyment for your investment if your guy is in the hunt on Sunday.

People still play fantasy sports? It’s been years since I’ve played, but me and the boys rent a room at Harrah’s Cherokee in their new sports betting section often. If y’all haven’t been, they’re awesome.
