Years ago, I was on a TV show with Howard Cossell (ABC Sports Beat). The topic was: Does the media encourage the public to gamble? David Stern, NBA commissioner said: "We don't want the week's grocery money to be bet on the outcome of a particular sporting event"
On Dec. 11, 2009, A change commissioner David Stern told SI.com (the website for Sports Illustrated) that legalized gambling on the NBA "May be a huge opportunity"
What a bunch of Hippocrates
JUST GIVE THEM A PIECE OF THE ACTION !!!!
NBA commissioner Adam Silver said.==="If you have a gentleman's bet or a small wager on any kind of sports contest, it makes you that much more engaged in it," Silver said. "That's where we're going to see it pay dividends."
The leagues said legalize sports betting we will stop the illegal sports betting in the state. We know thats never been the case. In fact when the gambler get hocked and dont have the cash to gamble with the state ! they will go to a book maker and get credit
As we all know that if you add a new form of gambling more people try it and some of those people will become addicted.
The proof to that test is that we heard that when lottery came into effect we were going to stop the illegal numbers games. In fact that never happened. One of the reasons are that you can still get credit from a "runner" when you play an illegal number, and today some stores that sell lottery tickets, still allow known players to run up a tab and pay when they can. In fact, when I was the executive director of the Council on Compulsive Gambling of NJ (1986-1994) we did a survey that Gallup conducted for us.Two of the questions on the survey were: Have you ever played illegal numbers? 31% of the respondents said "yes". Second question was: Do you play legal lottery in the state of NJ. 81% said "yes".
