Gambling in professional sports? What do the purists at the Las Vegas franchises have to say about that?
I would say, the amount of gambling on professional sports by professional athletes today versus years ago is probably the same, the difference is now most of the gambling is done thru legal sportsbooks making it far easier to catch people gambling that should not be gambling.
Years ago, sports gambling was done thru organized crime, today it’s done thru legal sportsbooks that are regulated.
