It looks like another wave of gambling suspensions is incoming

I really hate how over bearing all the sports betting has become in the NFL and other sports and can see how it could be confusing for players. But if the rumors of him betting on NFL games, including Colts games are true, that’s past the point of a stupid mistake. He could be lucky to get away with just a year suspension.

As long as he doesn’t bet on them to lose, should it even be a problem?

@bl4ckblooc @goldenjoe6 of course it's a problem if he's betting on Colts games, he's got inside knowledge on game plans. The NFL needs to be as transparent as they can be with their players about what can and cannot be bet on and where the bets can be placed and where they cannot be.

Wouldn’t all the game plans be to win though? They are already physically betting on themselves to win.

@bl4ckblooc right, but he was betting on the run game, rushing stats and the like, something they would know about more compared to your average person placing bets. To me that's a clear violation and something the NFL is looking to avoid.

Okay, that makes sense. I want really thinking about beta other than win/loss.

@bl4ckblooc Yea, the fact that a DB with game plan knowledge is betting on that kind of stuff really shows the NFL hasn't thought this through. I get that it takes time and you gotta weed out the players that'll bet no matter what but all the information needs to be out there. Take the Jamison Williams case, "betting on team facilities", he was at a hotel the team was traveling to. Apparently that's a team facility and nobody on the Lions knew this? This info needs to be more clear.
