Sports and Gambling Bad Partners
As the admissions flowed last week, we learned two things about gambling and sports. First, if you spot Charles Barkley and John Daly at a poker table, rush over and have them deal you in. Second, we don't really know if there's a gambling problem in sports. And what we don't know could hurt us. It's certainly hurt Daly's wallet. Does that affect his golf game? Even he probably can't say. But it sure makes it easier to assume he blew that winning putt because he: A) Had money on the other guy. B) Choked under the added pressure of having to pay off an eight-figure tab in Las Vegas. Speaking of ridiculous sums, how about $5 billion. That's how much is bet illegally on NFL games every week, according to some estimates. We know not a penny of it comes from an NFL player because none of them would ever do such a thing. Would they? No major pro league has been rocked by a gambling scandal
