I mean it was probably just a matter of time... I mean the greed is wild to me. Imagine making what these people are making and feeling the need to cheat the system(s) to make even more money. I guess wealth is all relative to the lifestyle you are trying to live. The risk... I just don't understand.

I quit sports betting going on 2.5 years now I think - not exactly sure. I still dabble in a little fantasy football and fantasy PGA stuff at a minimal expense to me. But the sports betting thing I have been long done with for awhile now. I just don't have the stomach for it. Winning is not fun and losing is excruciating.

I'm not judging anyones decision to bet on college sports, but I never have and never will. Illegal gambling ruined or damaged the careers of too many college players and more than once has threatened the viability of college basketball. The door has been opened and organized crime is going to seize that advantage,

Absolutely... It was a thrill at one time. But someone could come to me today with the sort of intel Rozier is guilty of sharing and basically guarantee me significant winnings and I wouldn't even consider downloading the app. because it would open up pandoras box to sports betting to me once again.

I didn't take an L either... Nothing close. I just decided to walk away one day because it wasn't fulfilling.
 
Saw this post on Twitter and thought it summed up the whole situation perfectly.

“I for one am shocked that NBA employees are gambling. How did they get sucked into that kind of activity?

I really hope they address this on the FanDuel Pregame show sponsored by bet365, right before the big game at DraftKings arena”

The part where they had X-ray tables to see cards face down? Man, you didn’t stand a chance.
