    And simple, he can refuse thousands with the threat of going to jail if caught.
    It’s not taboo anymore when legal- they you wouldn’t stay in jail a few months for 500k?

    Sports betting being anymore legal does not make throwing a game any less taboo.


    How would you get $500k? You likely didn't report it as income if you're taking money to throw a game, so the government would likely not only put you in jail for a long time for tax evasion (and if it's to throw a game, they'll want to make an example out of you), they would fine you to death to reduce the amount and would likely seize the rest of it as "ill gotten gains".

    And as I asked before, what has stopped this from happening before the Supreme Court ruling? It's not like it hasn't before sports betting becomes legalized?

    Oklahoma was signed into the new Jersey lawsuit. So I am praying we are quick here. We have a Hard Rock Casino here in Tulsa with a poker room, now we just need the sports book and life is very good.

    Yes. Many casinos rather let William Hill or CG Tech operate their sportsbooks rather than deal with it themselves.
