But with the big salaries players get these days, why would they risk it.

This isn’t 1919 where players got relatively money, and that fixing games was a huge enticement.

Gambling comes and goes as a fad in this country. It always ends in scandal. The advent of cell phones has this round growing on steroids. Practically every young man I know is constantly betting on obscure basketball games, or horse, or football. It’s epidemic. And yes, there is too much money floating around to NOT breed corruption of officials and/or players.

It’s not going to end well.
