The integration of gambling into sports is a major vulnerability for the NBA that potentially threatens the integrity of the game.

“I just think that the gambling is going to be, you know, something that they have to somehow, you know, fix or or get out of the game or make these fans feel that uh the integrity is there uh in every step of the way.”

Jason Kelce asserts that betting on oneself while playing in the NFL creates dangerous financial vulnerability to outside influences.

“What happens when you're 14 000 in the hole because you've been betting on your own self and then the bookie says hey you do something in this game all of a sudden your your Slate's clean yeah well because that [ __ ] happens you can't just yes if in a perfect world if you want to bet on your own te”

Pat McAfee argues that gambling on the sport in which an athlete competes is strictly prohibited and should not happen.

“Gambling on the sport in which you play, on the team in which you play has been banned forever. This is the point of sports that you can't have happen.”

Shakur Stevenson believes professional football games can sometimes appear rigged.

“I stopped I ain't going to lie no disrespect to y'all but that [ __ ] been kind of looking rigged sometimes”

He believes sports gambling, particularly for lower-level fighters who are struggling financially, is a vulnerable area for corruption and fixing.

“So, when someone goes up to him who is in those dark arts and goes, "Hey, man, if you can just throw this fight, you don't have to tell anybody. Just throw this fight, we'll give you $100,000." It's a huge life-changing difference for them. >> Yeah. >> So, of course it happens.”

Promoted bets should be chosen by trusting the stars.

“As you guys mentioned, we are going to trust the stars. And there's one superstar non-argument on both teams and that's Jaylen Brunson and that is Victor Wambana the alien.”

He believes sports gambling is an integral part of modern sporting event viewership.

“we work uh with DraftKings on things and uh all sporting events matter because your money's running up and down the field sometimes.”

He suggests that for the average person, gambling on sports is a normal hobby that they can manage responsibly without it becoming an issue.

“Most people like my brother or other people like I know a bunch of dads that gamble. Tigers coaches gamble on professional sports. They're normal people. They like to do it and it they can still pay their rent and mortgage.”

Legalized sports gambling provides the necessary tracking mechanisms to identify and expose instances of game fixing.

“I still am very pro legalized gambling because again, you wouldn't be able to find these things if you didn't have you know, sports books tracking and all of a sudden oh [ __ ] everyone bet the Geonte Porter under.”

Legalizing sports gambling is a net positive as it is an activity that will occur regardless of regulation, so it is better to legalize and profit from it than keep it underground.

“gambling is going to happen there's certain things that I'm pretty things that have happened since the dawn of man gambling is one of them it is going to happen so you might as well legalize it and make money off of it rather than have it be underground bookies and things like that”

The relationship between leagues and gambling companies is beneficial because the sharing of data helps detect and catch illicit gambling activity.

“The fact that we have this relationship now and that it is legal and in most states and it is regulated is why we're able to catch guys like Terry Rozier.”

The industry should do away with prop wagering on college sports or on college individual athletic performance.

“I am a strong strong advocate of the industry doing away with prop wagering on college sports or on college individual athlete athletic performance.”

Tommy Vietor maintains that the current, expansive model of sports gambling is a dangerous issue that leads to financial loss for retail investors and potential mental health crises for young men.

“it feels like we are watching a generation especially of young men get addicted to these gambling apps at the same time they are like going deeper into debt and having mental health crisises and it's like a massive problem that's I think under discussed.”

Pablo Torre argues that the rapid and unchecked expansion of sports gambling, particularly micro-betting, threatens the integrity of sports and poses significant risks to consumers that require better

“I am not saying we should ban federally gambling. I am saying that we need to be very open and transparent about here's what's happening very often to men in America and we should tell them that this is what they're risking if this is what the science is suggesting.”
