Gugny Posted January 26 Posted January 26 Just now, boyst said: the NCAA is very very big on the gambling issue. The Don't Bet On It campaign has been around a very long time. Every locker room in the NCAA is littered with signs and billboards about it. There are several meetings that teams have to go through, including stuff like this. Even baseball, track, and diving teams have preventative and warning seminars for betting. They have them for domestic abuse, substance abuse, sexual assault, dealing with law enforcement, and more. The NFL does not do as well to protect its athletes as the NCAA. Looks like it’s working as well as “Just Say No,” did .. which turned out to be totally worthless. 3 Quote

Lower level NCAA BBall teams, towards the end of the season with nothing to play for that have seniors starting and seemingly no future after school's done. Play bad defense and intentionally miss most of your shots. Make sure you lose by more than 9.5 and I'll settle up the $25K in a couple weeks. Deal? But you make sure your teams loses by 10 or more (or else). Doesn't seem too far-fetched to me. Quote

Success Posted January 26 Posted January 26 I think what will make me happy is seeing drunk Pats fans 20 years from now still yelling, 'we got 6 Super Bowls!' Pretty negative, for sure. But that will make me smile. Quote

dma0034 Posted January 27 Posted January 27 I can't believe it. The Patriots are known for their integrity! Quote

Dude lost more than 80k at the end of the day. Obviously he didn’t have any insiders knowledge. Much ado about nothing, imo. Quote
