..........I think there should be a limit on bets of say 100,000 or even less. A ten million dollar bet provides waaayyyy to much incentive for players, or coaches or third parties to do “something”, or attempt to do “something” that would throw the game.

WE know this has happened already on many levels of sport including professional, college and high school.

It’s estimated 4.7 billion is bet on the super bowl. Ten million doesn’t mean a thing in the bigger sense. As to the spread, once set it cannot move very much, or the odds makers could lose both ways when late money comes in, which has happened.
