It's sad that Bookies are refunding bets, but NFL still won't talk about it

Bookies have more integrity than the NFL.
Goodell must have every lawyer he can find looking into how to avoid bringing up the replay scenario.
That's got to be the reason, right?

The most effective way to prevent someone from making public comment is to make them a defendant.

The sportsbook is doing this for Pr to make money. They aren’t giving the money back. They are crediting it to bettors accounts as free play. So they end up getting it all back anyway. But the Pr from it has people who don’t gamble thinking it’s a great gesture and then some people who do gamble will say, “I’m going to start using their book”

No they aren’t really. If I get $100 on the game. I can’t go get my $100. I can bet the $100 on other things. Most likely with some restrictions. In the betting world they are going to end up getting most of it all back once people start using it.

In a way that their accountants will appreciate it.

Dude, stop.
Getting a credit is not the same as being refunded your money. They're just allowing you to make a different purchase with the money you already spent.
It's the equivalent of making a store return and getting store credit. They didn't refund your money they just allowed you to exchange one product that they sell for another product that they sell. On their books, they still made a sale and on your books you still spent the money.
When you get a store credit they don't call it a 'store refund'. They ask you, "do you want a store credit or a refund?"

So they didn't lose their money? In fact, there's a chance they could increase it on another bet, which they would then be allowed to collect on?
