PossibleCabbage Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Never really understood why people get outraged when guys get popped for gambling. It seems like (and how much the NFL is in bed with gambling now) it's abundantly clear that "when you're a professional athlete, you don't gamble on sports" is like one of those inviolate rules. Do they need to go over this more at the rookie symposium or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s stupid It's a perception thing. What the NFL needs to avoid at all costs is "people involved in an NFL game are gambling on this game and so act in order to ensure they win their bets" since if the public believes the NFL games aren't on the level, then they're not going to want to bet on them and then the Caesars money goes away. If someone is betting on CFB, the NBA, MLS, the WNBA, etc. it's not hard to see how that person might start betting on NFL games. But we can't prove they did, so the punishment is lighter. Simplest thing is just to not install those apps while you're in the league. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad Holmes has already released Moore and Cephus. I’m interested in the financial ramifications. I don’t think Jamo will lose more than $500,000 for the games missed but I believe the contract guarantees might come into play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsoxsuck05 Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Jamo will be exactly as productive over this suspension as he was in his 6 games last year lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the rule is still "don't bet on games" and if you're doing it on the team's wifi, they're absolutely monitoring that traffic for a bunch of different things, so you're going to get caught. The NFL is not a security state though, so the things you do with your own phone on your own network are probably not so closely monitored, so you can probably get away with a bunch of things that aren't within the rules. It's just that "when you do it at team facilities, that's when you get caught." Edited April 21, 2023 by PossibleCabbage 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think the NFL cares what games / sports other than NFL games you bet on - or - that you dont do any of it at an NFL facility. So......dont bet on NFL games and do the rest from home. How hard can that be? Edited April 21, 2023 by Leader Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
