Betting on Sports

Q I was going to ask you to discuss betting on Greyhound racing. The articles I found were so sad I could not post them. Dogs clearly do not make a choice to participate, people do. Should we formalize betting on sports with human competitors? 1. While professional sports leagues warmed up to legalized betting the Colleges and NCAA are having a difficult time adjusting to betting on college sports. Use the articles in session 5 and any you can find to explain what actions have been put in place to prevent abuse and bad practices when betting on college games. (include the references to the articles.) 2. How do professional sports leagues benefit from legalized gambling on its games? 3. Why are professional athletes today less susceptible to ill-intentioned gamblers? Each discussion should be backed by at least one reference from either the text or an article from the Internet. Be sure to post the reference as well as the discussion. Each discussion has a due date. Be sure to complete your post before the due date.
