Too far

1 Comment

Gambling and major sports have been bitten. Not the first time and certainly not the last. Players, officials, managers/coaches, trainers and owners are all suspects. They are in bed with some very dangerous people and it’s already out of control. They got greedy and the piper is coming to collect.

Lost sight of the GOAL. Fuzzy photo out the window by Mike Hartley

I bet news of this hasn’t even slowed NBA or other betting much. People will say that’s the mob and a couple guys who got caught up in it. The rest of it must be legit, right?

It’s out of control and many people don’t know they have an addiction to it and will only realize it when everything is gone.

The backboard might still be there, but the goal of it being a game is GONE.

And gamblers, if you don’t think others are working on fixing things for you to lose, you’re deluding yourself. If I were a betting man, I’d lay money that there are already problems in all sports, even college that were just not aware of yet.

Maybe I’m overly cautious, luckily, I realized I couldn’t gamble early, before it became a problem a long time ago.

Best of luck you all who are still willing to play. I hope you win big and retire before it’s all gone again.

With a lifetime and a half in the Newspaper industry I'm preparing for my retirement career as an Artist, Writer, Photographer and Video content provider. I'm a proud father of two wonderful children and I'm still married to the first girl I fell in love with and probably only one that would have me.

One thought on “Too far

  1. I think you’re right about the odds being stacked against gamblers. I don’t gamble (I also learned that lesson early).
