Sports Gambling

[GP1]

I was going to make this topic about the Guardians pitchers being investigated in the attached, but sports gambling is so part of sports now it deserves its own topic. 

 

My general take on sports gambling is we are going to see many more stories like this and at some point there will be a decline in sports betting because the gamblers won't trust the games. One way I could be wrong is if we get people so addicted to gambling apps that they will lay bets regardless of the integrity of the games.

I look forward to the day the number of people destitute from gambling addictions is so high the government forgives their debts and makes the responsible citizens pay for the bailout.
