MODERATORS
I follow the NBA, and the gambling stuff is so obnoxious. From ads, to fans becoming vile to players for "ruining" their parlay, some players actually getting involved with the gambling, and then the referees themselves too. It's really having a negative impact on the game.
The obvious outcome was obvious.
2/1 odds. Almost guaranteed win.
