Why? Did something happen?
How about anticipating this like last year with just the power of common fucking sense that baseball and sports betting would have bad results especially with certain kinds of bets, so that vulnerable players coming from destitute conditions might not be lured and certain franchises would not be gutted.

They’re supposed to be fun insignificant bets that award you insignificant amounts of money. They’re supposed to be fun. You’re not expecting to make a profit.

Eliminate them completely. That’s the only way.
I’m sure guilty parties won’t find something else to exploit. Sports are completely broken now.
