Do you actually believe that every bet made in a Las Vegas casino is made between two completely independent people, neither of which have any ties to the casino, nor anyone whom the casino has any interest in?
Again. I don’t know what you’re saying. I believe that the vast majority of NFL bets are made with legitimate sportsbooks, including casinos. I rather doubt there are many billion dollar bets made outside of sportsbooks, and to the extent there are, I don’t believe federal law enforcement would investigate a fixed game for an illegitimate gambler.
You seem to be asserting that using “legitimate” sportsbooks precludes any chance of corruption, which in this case is circular logic. We’re discussing this because the feds ARE investigating corruption.
