It is not merely a “taboo”. Professional athletes betting on games involving their own teams completely undermine the integrity of the game. If fans have reasonable suspicians that games are fixed or affected by gambling by players, managers or coaches, the sport will be in DEEP trouble.

They only undermine the game if they bet on their team to lose.
If they want to win, well of course!
