Shohei Ohtani scandal could focus more attention on the ‘Wild West’ of sports betting, lawmakers say

That’s a good thing
Good. Even Children can easily gamble on sports now all it takes is them taking their parents ID. Needs fixing asap
I’m just waiting for the SNL skit where Pete Rose featured as Ohtani interpreter. Maybe will again start watching (bad orange man portrayal not the same without Alex Baldwin).
Good every commercial is either trying to get you to ask your doctor about this new drug or a gambling site
Honestly it could lead to oversight on sports gambling that’s badly needed.
If he isn’t betting on baseball then I don’t care.
And it should, the spam-like commercials are annoying and there needs to be more uniformity in the industry
But, lawmakers don’t bat an eye at new casino sites and betting apps.
Doubt it. It’s a disgrace that sports betting is welcomed and advertised by the MLB, but there is simply too much money to be left on the table.
Either I’m wrong or everyone is very misinformed. But would this be a non-issue if Ohtani’s interpreter had a 4.5$ debt with FanDuel and Ohtani paid it off? Isn’t this just a criminal issue, because it was with an illicit bookie. Not because it was gambling in general. If Ohtani lost 4.5 mil on DraftKings, would that be allowed as long as it wasn’t on baseball? I feel like we’re focusing on the wrong thing. We shouldn’t care that it was about gambling…Ohtani is involved in something illegal. Who cares what it was? If it’s illegal, then that’s the problem.
wow looks like MLB brought to you by FanDuel and presented by MGM could have a massive gambling issue they need to address
This story did bring out something I was kind of unaware about.
Apparently the Reddit community fucking HATES sports gambling.
Tonight, we bring you a shocking report that politicians want more control over things. In other news, water is wet.
