I mean it has to, right?  The mob is substantially weaker now than it was in the 70s and 80s obviously but they're still involved in bookmaking.  All it takes is one ref or player on the take to mess with the point spread in sports like basketball.  It would be tougher in football considering touches are usually limited to a handful of players on one side of the ball, but it does seem like the flags start popping out if somebody is threatening an upset.

He's just a natural result of the system. There's always gonna be rubes who throw their money away gambling. If you're going around placing bets you can't pay with mob-connected bookies, I'm not gonna say you deserve what you get, but you're certainly a participant in your own downfall.

Frankly I got a lot more issue with some of the scumbags who make their money perfectly legally. Look up the revenue model for mobile game companies some time. It's something like 95% of their revenue comes from like 1% of the gamers. So their objective is to target "whales" who will spend literally tens of thousand of real dollars on friggin loot crates in a mobile game. They're just straight up preying on addicts, many of them minors, while ruining them financially, and it's perfectly legal.

To my knowledge, NFL officials must have a primary job or secondary income of over 200k a year. I guess it’s because the NFL doesn’t pay them as much as everyone thinks and they don’t want to hire poor people who may take bribes? LOL. If anything can be learned from American politics, it’s that rich people take bribes too.
