Gambling is trashy.
Everywhere gambling is legalized, within 2 years there is a 10-25% increase in bankruptcies, increase in suicide, domestic violence, criminal activity, alcoholism, etc.
And everyone pays the price.
The younger generations are already hooked too.

This is really sad for him. Cannot imagine working that hard for something for stupid decisions to bring it all down. Victimless “crimes” too.

I saw where he'd go to Reds games and he'd be live bettting balls & striked during the games. Can rack up some serious numbers that way

It’s not victimless when he can impact the outcome of games

Gambling in 2026 in the USA and everything that comes with it isn’t even in the same Galaxy as gambling was in this country just 10 years ago. Maybe I’m an contradictory a-hole, because I’m for people being able to gamble but at the same time I give zero shits if someone that’s not even old enough to legally gamble, that has also come up and also been paid to play in the world of hypocritical networks, companies and podcasts cost people money. Why should I feel bad that someone couldn’t see the writing on the wall when it comes down to everything gambling related as it currently exists?

You’re right. It’s way easier making it a far bigger problem.

This isn’t about whether or not people should be able gamble. It’s what amounts to insider trading only with sports betting. Being able to directly influence the outcome of a game or having inside information that no one else has isn’t gambling anymore.
That you can’t see why players gambling on their own games isn’t a massive problem and should be handled as such when caught is honestly shocking

It’s a problem, it’s just a problem I don’t care about in today’s world. At 45, I think I’ve witnessed some of the best that college athletics has had to offer and now I think I’m currently watching the death of what college athletics once was, and the ease and rise of online gambling played a huge role in that. I’m definitely bitter when it comes to that, so for that reason I wouldn’t care if it all burns down, I’m also honest about it.

30 year old here. While I totally agree with the sentiment, “college” athletics is simply changing. It has changed many times before, maybe not quite as fast or drastic, but major changes happened and generations said it would be the end as they know it and they were right. Really it is football. that is the “problem”. But there is not one single person that even if they had a solution, has the power to implement and get all of the stakeholders on board. An archaic, corrupt, inefficient and illogical organization called the NCAA ceased 25 years ago to keep up and help the sport and thus universities, communities, athletes, coaches, alumni, and fans. What I am most surprised by is that for everyone’s benefit, all of the FBS and thus the FCS if they are allowed to continue to play games against the FBS in 10 years should not be completely separate. I get almost every single athletic department with a money generating football program would either “die” or have to be reconstructed dramatically. But there is huge cliff college football and college athletics keep inching towards. Not only financially but also practically speaking where not that college football would die, but 60-70 FBS programs would become FCS or basically like it and those athletic departments would be destroyed over night. The game would suffer.

Online sports betting is wayyy down the list of things that have negatively impacted the college sports we grew up with and loved.
1. Massive, rapid growth in TV rights value. That's responsible for most of the conference realignment of the past 15+ years. Its also responsible for the push to expand the playoffs to an absurd field size where blue bloods can lose to every quality opponent they play in the regular season and still make the playoffs after they beat up on the conference bottom feeders and G5 teams. Its not unique to the NCAA as live sports rights across the board have become the most valuable commodity for TV networks in the era of streaming. A wise regional manager once said "mo' money, mo' problems"
2. NIL and the transfer portal making entire rosters become free agents every offseason.

I watched a couple younger guys (early 30s) at work, they were on their phones. It looked like they were playing a game, but turns out they were placing a bunch of bets on the upcoming college weekend games. Took all of 5 minutes, to lay down a couple grand overall on a bunch of bets.
I can definitely see this getting away from people, you lose and try to make it back up, and it goes to shite.

You turn the cards on the betting sites and exploit their inefficiencies and they will limit your arse. It’s a rigged system.

If he gambled on his own team, then that is illegal. I don't think he would have a good lawsuit in that situation.
Just random gambling, then yes he should be OK.

If you bet any amount of money that could financially hurt you if you lose the bet, you are an idiot.
