Running athletes busted for gambling thread

MileHigh suggested it. I figured 100 athletes being investigated was a good launching point.

Damn it, forgot the word “thread” in the title.

Not much else to do in Iowa.

Gotcha covered.

Ya think we're starting a cycle here? College athletes are finally getting a little pocket money thanks to NIL, and they're gonna gamble some of it. Shocking.

They all bet against Rick Barnes in March. Who could blame them?

Can they be blamed for pounding the "under" when betting on Iowa football with that offense?

And yet again, Northern Iowa gets left out of the coverage. #FCS

That's exactly what I texted some friends last night. That's not gambling, that's just smart investing.

NIL plus access.
The sports book is on your frigging phone.

And every commercial break on ESPN has an ad for a sports book app.

I was watching a mid-February Michigan State basketball game and at the mid court ad screen was an ad for Caesars sports book with the Sparty logo.

WHAT COULD GO WRONG

PointsBet and FanDuel used to have UNI/valley FCS football lines.

Of course, a total of 41 players are involved for Iowa-Iowa State. It’ll start at 41 and fall to 37.5 involved by the time the formal documents are filed.

Europe has handled it for decades. The online aspect is definitely a new complication.

Guess the starting point is to hammer the **** out of everyone at the start of it, like the Black Sox, and let the deterrence carry the day.

We should probably just change the thread title to "Athletes" instead of "College Athletes"

 

[DanOregon]

Will books stop taking action on certain teams? Conferences? Or will every "event" be treated like a one-off?

They still post lines on lower level tennis tournaments - despite dozens of match-fixing allegations.
