Gambling and sports is a highly toxic mix.
It is not just that games or parts of games could be fixed—it is that everyone involved has a financial motivation to keep any scandals under wraps.
It corrupts everything.
I've noticed the difference in nearly all sports. It's obvious that the gamblers are paying off the athletes.
It was better when gambling was forbidden (except for places like Vegas and Atlantic City) and everyone saw what happened to Pete Rose.
The integrity is gone. The commissioners in the past will be angry if they see what's happening today.
So there's no point in watching a game anymore unless you're doing some form of gambling.
