Stan Posted April 21, 2023 Report Share Posted April 21, 2023 This will only happen more and more with gambling being legal and addictive. Families of players betting knowing spreads, under overs, play props. It’s everywhere. Even if these guys make millions you can never beat gambling addiction because it’s hard to break a real bad habit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Placing the bet outside the facility would have been fine. That's hilarious, as if NFL facilities are sacrosanct somehow, even after one of them now resides in Vegas. It's just dumb. It's dumb for sure but every NFL employee knows the rules or should know the rules... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I detest crypto but if you were looking for a real gateway to gambling that would be micro transactions in games or trading card games, or the holy grail things that are both like Madden ultimate team.

oldschool Posted April 21, 2023 Report Share Posted April 21, 2023 This is some hypocritical bullshit. The NFL is in bed with gambling. As long as players aren't betting on games they participate in, I don't care. Alzarius, and ChesterCopperpot1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mythos27 Posted April 21, 2023 Report Share Posted April 21, 2023 I get that the guys should've known better but this is the dumbest I've ever heard. Who the fuck is clamoring for the NFL to crack down on this stuff? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No1TitansFan Posted April 21, 2023 Report Share Posted April 21, 2023 Lions axed the 2 guys with the idefiinite suspensions and some staff members as well. The non NFL rule might seem petty, but it's a day one thing; in Williams case they were betting on CFB which could be really problematic given that these guys maintain tons of contacts with guys at their schools and others who haven't started raking the big money yet. NFL should have never partnered with gambling ops, imho; just terrible optics. Callidus, and Starkiller 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

9 Nines Posted April 22, 2023 Report Share Posted April 22, 2023 In the RFL, Russian Football League, they cut off your head if you gamble. animatormike, and Callidus 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Posted April 22, 2023 Report Share Posted April 22, 2023 The NFL and all these leagues partner up with these gambling sites because they know people will tune into these games and viewership will only Rise. Thursday night Monday night games that are between two bad teams will still garner higher than normal views. MLB is seeing an increase in viewership because people are gambling more on games and finding ways to watch the teams they placed bets on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
