And the people running those leagues plus the NCAA have a view through rose colored glasses.
There is literally billions of dollars in "illegal" handle wagered every year on their respective sports.
I think its farcical that bettors in Nevada can make all the wagers they wish and the sports leagues look the other way.
It's like "ok we know they're betting in Vegas and we'll live with that, but THAT'S IT!!!"....
The whole thing is illogical. The idea that contests will be infiltrated and game fixing will become rampant is ludicrous. The athletes make tons of money. They cannot be bribed. Why would they?
