N C A A  Bowl Games = How many college students will have a bet on the bowl games ?     

And whether or not even some athletes also will have bets on the games as well !

 

 

  Here we go again the big media hype on the games that promote gambling !!

 

  When you do a story on the COLLEGE BOWL GAMES you might want to look at betting on the games and the issue of compulsive gambling.

 

 

 And how many gamblers will be making  there  1st bet  ever on a BOWL Game  on their way to getting addicted to gambling .

 

It is easier to place a bet today than it is to buy cigarettes or a can of beer on any college campus all

over the country.

 

YOUTH  TODAY IN HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE ARE using the lines and odds from thier local newspaper and use it to set up a bookmaking operation.

 

  Does the Media Promote Gambling on the Bowl Games ???

 

 

 

I would like to pose a few questions:

• Do point spreads in newspapers cause a proliferation of gambling?

• Do people see point spreads in the newspaper and think it is legal to place a bet?

• Does the media entice people to gamble?

• Does the media have any responsibility for the increase in numbers of compulsive gamblers in America?

• Does the media give the appearance that it promotes and condones gambling?

 

IF YOUR PAPER,OR STATION CARRIES THE ODDS AND LINES  YOU SHOULD ALSO DO SOMETHING ON THE GAMBLING,GAMBLING ADDICTION ON THE BOWL GAMES----

You would not expect to open your local newspaper and get a price list of illegal drugs for sale; But that's just about what you can get today when you open your local newspaper to the sports pages all over the country. True, you don't see drug prices but you do see lines and point spreads on sporting events.

 

 Bobby Knight, Indiana basketball coach, said: "A newspaper who

published point spreads should also publish names and addresses of services that render to prostitutes.

 They practically have the same legality in every one of our states, and I can't see why one is any better

than the other"

 

On the same show former baseball commissioner Bowie Kuhn said: "Anything that

 encourages gambling on team sports bothers me.

We all look hypocritical but than why are we putting up

 the odds unless we are trying to encourage it"

 

David Stern, NBA commissioner said: "We don't want the

 weeks' grocery money to be bet on the outcome of a particular sporting event"

 

I remember when Skip Ballis then of the Dallas Morning News had a gorilla in the Dallas Zoo make football picks for them. The gorillas' picks were doing better than the sports writers. The zoo had to stop the gorillas pick as they were getting calls from all over the country every week asking what did the gorilla pick.

 

 

Get the real scoop -- talk to Arnie Wexler who is one of the nations' leading experts on the subject of compulsive gambling and a recovering compulsive gambler himself, who placed his last bet on April 10, 1968. 

He has worked with college & professional athletes who had gambling addictions. And has spoken on many college campuses over the years.He has been involved in helping compulsive gamblers for the last 49 years. Through the years, Wexler has spoken to more compulsive gamblers than anyone else in America.

 

Arnie has spoken to students who gamble in college day and night. They even gamble during class, and it even goes on in high school lunch rooms. According to a Harvard study a few years ago, 4.67% of young people have a gambling problem. I would think that # is greater today.

Experts tell us that the earlier a person starts to gamble, the greater the risk of them becoming a compulsive gambler. In another survey, 96% of adult male recovering gamblers stated that they started gambling before the age of 14.

 

Data from National Hot lines show: 

38% percent of the people who gamble, bet on sports. 

33% of calls came from youth under 25 years of age 

12% of calls came from senior citizens 

40% of calls came from female gamblers
