So sports betting is legal in a lot of places.
And there have been confirmed cases whereby it was rigged.
Now I won't get into how it can be rigged.
But, if it is going to be legal then perhaps the public has the right to know how much money has been placed as a bet on each side of the bet! I would call that the money weight.
Now let's say that it could be rigged so that once the money weight was on a particular side a phone call could be made to tilt it either that way or the other? Most likely to tip that money into the bank of the Casino.
So the oddsmakers would say that they adjust the odds of a money line bet so that both sides balance out?
Okay, if that really is true, then you would have no problem allowing the size of money bet on each side to be known in real time?
See what I am getting at?
Now Casinos are regulated? Are they really?
How many things we are told are regulated really are not? Dirty bathrooms in restaurants? Supposed to be regulated are not. Perhaps a Stockbroker should be regulated so that their trading activity against the public can only account for a fixed percent? Are medicines really regulated? Not when you see sicknesses arise from the use of them. Are cancer causing alcohol and tobacco really regulated?
Now that last question brings up an interesting point. When something is regulated that should really be banned but the banner of regulation provides a form of credibility to the product that is never deserved? Comprende?
The fact that something is given the term regulated gives it a credibility that was never due to it! Wow! Pretty prophetic! You never read that before!
