It didn’t take that long, did it? So, what should we do? Does anyone have a copy of the plan?
My guess is that league-affiliated efforts to eliminate or reduce gambling will not change anything, especially through parlay gambling, especially through ultra-high stakes with huge winnings. No changes or efforts will be made because there is too much money to suck out of the jeans. Soccer players are betting that the league’s bookmakers are the hardest to sell for that ironic reason.
Why singles tennis has become the most questionable international sport One Players link fraud to piracy, creating a one-sided conspiracy.
Even for sports executives who prefer ignorance to caution, Jontay Porter proved that prop bets beckon like Pandora unless they leave a computerized paper trail.
And, pardon the expression, what are the odds that Porter will be the first person to bet the under against himself in a legal capacity?
What commissioners, their representatives, and team owners rarely understood or cared about in order to maximize TV material was that proposition bets were rarely available to bettors through illegal bookmakers. about it.
Illegal bookmakers have marketing departments, advertising agencies, and demographics to create prop bets and target young, thoroughly confident, cap-back smarts as seen on TV. There was no investigator, no number cruncher.
Prop bets did not exist for individual players. That’s what the office poll revealed. That’s why the NFL, NBA, MLB, and NHL eagerly offer rosters of FanDuel prop bets that include daily over/under totals for players, for example, creating a vortex that swallows games, players, and fans whole. .
Therefore, this lifetime suspension of Porter is based entirely on his misconduct, which was publicized and promoted by the NBA’s profit design. Adam Silver borrows the line from the old comic “Pogo”: “We have met the enemy, and he is us!”
What would it take to determine that this is a highly flammable material? A league that values caution and reliability over profit. A big chance. Move forward at top speed!
There are many other reasons where this came from.
Reader Stew Summers applied some common sense that might not have been used to Rob Manfred’s myopia watch. Summers:
“Did you know that your bank sends you emails about how they can alert you when suspicious activity is detected in your account?
“Well, it appears that Shohei Ohtani never received those memos while $16 million was drained from his account. No one noticed it, not the management, not the accountants, not the lawyers, not the bank manager, not the bank security guard. Didn’t you?”
The day is yet to come when the findings and corresponding findings regarding the four highly questionable line swings produced by Temple’s losing basketball team will be revealed. The university’s investigation began in early March, Temple said.
Ah, but the toothpaste is out of the genie. As long as TV ratings and subsequent contracts are powered by gamblers, this is our life. Even if I saw it coming and I see it going on now. Again, you cannot shame the shameless.
ESPN and CBS share Tiger’s ‘last’ impressions
The result was this. In order to completely neutralize Tiger Woods (he finished last among the competitors), ESPN and CBS teamed up to systematically sabotage this year’s Masters.
Last week, Woods surpassed even the standard excess of Tiger Woods, who just qualified, outperformed and superseded everyone else.
But as reader David DiStefano pointed out, 58-year-old Vijay Singh, 11 years older than Woods, qualified but never showed up.
Considering Woods had no shots after 36 holes, the live broadcast was still completely focused on him. Leader Scottie Scheffler was often shown on tape and could see live Woods, who was 16 back and eventually finished 24 back.
A disgusting insult to those who were planning to watch the Masters, or at least wanted to watch it, you idiots! — Hit the guys that come and go. On Saturday, Woods tied for 60th and the CBS website declared, “Tiger begins third round at Masters.”
A quick visit to SiriusXM’s Golf Channel to see who was in the lead brought up a screenshot of reader Bill Maloney’s dashboard, which simply said, “60th, Tiger Woods.” . Maroney: “Who cares who won?” I want to know who’s in 60th place! ”
Unsurprisingly, on Sunday, as Woods was finishing 27 strokes behind, Pastor Jim Nantz once again honored Tiger Woods’ heroic round with an inorganic memorial on the course. I went there. Tiger Woods endured hardships, including physical disabilities that were self-inflicted but never caused. Until now Wind, water, bad lies, tough greens, etc.
But TV doesn’t care if it embarrasses itself or betrays its promise to air major programming. And Nantz doesn’t seem to care whether his persistent, relentless and selective pandering to Tiger Woods becomes a lasting stain on his credibility and legacy.
Godspeed to my beloved Brooklyn
I was too young to know about the Dodgers before they left Brooklyn, but Carl Erskine, known as “Oisk,” has been held in high esteem since he became a clerk in the Post’s sports department nearly 50 years ago. I knew he was a pitcher. He is polite, charming and commands the utmost respect.
And on behalf of organizations that support people with disabilities, many people who interviewed Erskine, who had never met him before, expressed their gratitude for his generosity, especially since Jimmy, Betty and Carl Erskine’s fourth child, was born with Down syndrome. I knew that I came home overwhelmed by the spirit and time. Erkins first stubbornly and then succeeded in bringing Jimmy into the mainstream until his death in 2023.
Carl Erskine died on Tuesday at the age of 97. From what I can gather – and that’s enough – he never wasted a minute being less than the best person he could be.
Apparently thin-skinned Michael Kay wants to carry around a Kick Me sandwich board. On Tuesday’s YES, he excitedly declared:[Juan] Soto jumped to second base with a double! ” Hustle? Replays clearly showed Soto stylishly limp near his plate, watching his shot to center field hit the bottom of the wall.
Kay could – and should have – shown his sincerity to the viewers by correcting himself, but apparently we’re too stupid to know any better, believe what he says, and watch. It seems he has chosen to pretend to ignore things.
Breaking news: OK, NBC and Mike Tirico win.

Money works both ways: Reader Rich Leary’s response to an offer to buy a Jets season ticket package for 2024: “Sorry, but if the Jets are willing to pay you $50 a year to keep your contract…” I lost interest in season tickets a long time ago when I decided to request that you remove me from your promotion list.
