I'm not much of a betting man. In fact, the only thing close to a wager I've placed in the last decade is shares in the Predyx BIP 110 market. That said, my impression is that sports were always pretty crooked.
Do you think what they are describing here is strongly different from throwing a fight? Perhaps there is a normalization of it that has come with the widespread availability of betting, but insider knowledge itself has always been the privilege of some and it is the very, very few who refrain from profiting from it.
I think it's worth entertaining the idea that putting ability to profit from insider knowledge in an easily and widely available area will make things better.
