WILL ALLOWING PRO SPORTS TO ADVERTISE SPORTS BETTING RISK “THE FIX”?
The only difference is that current offshore, on line ,and legal sportsbooks will have to pay to use what I call “The U.S. Sports Product”.
I call it the U.S. Sports Product , because it is something that has been created by major U.S. companies ie. NFL, NHL,etc. and is being exploited around the world and on the internet through sports betting. Now it seems to be that some European pro sports want to receive some compensation for the EU product they have created. It is ridiculous These sportsbooks use the U.S. and EU product to sell their bets and profit from T.V. broadcasts etc. This article actually advertises NBA HDTV betting specials.
The sportsbooks and legislative folks around the world are saying that if Pro Teams start charging sports betting bodies money to use thier “ U.S Product” , there will be an outbreak of players and others putting on the fix.
I disagree, the world has used the “U.S. Product “ long enough and haven’t had to pay a dime. Well now that it is time to pay the fiddler, they change thier tune to ,the threat of THE FIX. Maybe there will be more temptation for players to fix a game for monetary rewards. Thats why pro sports should be a privelage to participate in. Even if we had to set up psych evaluations and interviews with family members and friends of potential pro athaletes, to see if they might have a predisposition to a sports betting problem. This would certainly not cost much money to do. Teams could limit thier liability and create a high level of integrity in professional sports.
