Since 2018, billions of dollars in sports bets have been placed in 37 states following the Supreme Court's decision to legalize sports betting.
Oddsmakers had favored the Nats' opponent, San Diego, with a $100 bet on the Padres netting $56.
But Declan Hill, a journalist and expert on match-fixing, says sports betting is jeopardizing American sports. Late in January's Rose Bowl, Penn State was winning by three touchdowns over Utah, but sportscasters were alluding to the over/under."Utah drove down the field and scored late, and the broadcasters calling the game, you know, were referring to the importance of this score," says Affleck."The importance of the score was that it was going to put the final point total for both teams over the over.
The first step is monitoring the betting markets for suspicious activity. Andreas Krannich helps professional sports leagues globally avoid fraud at the Swiss sports data firm Sportradar. Krannich says poorly paid players in lower leagues are most susceptible to gambling crimes."Match fixing attempts these days are focusing on lower divisions, he says.The University of Alabama fired baseball coach Brad Bohannon after alleged links to suspicious bets. As of this writing, the coach has not commented, and there have been no links to players. And the University of Iowa and Iowa State are investigating dozens of college athletes for suspected gambling.
