Sports Gambling Never Stops

The Super Bowl of the sports gambling, it’s called March Madness. Where dreams are made and gambling addictions are born. Although it only boosts Vegas gambling commission from $80 million to $90 million, there’s an estimated $7 billion spent illegally by friends, family, workplace, online and anywhere else imaginable. Vegas doesn't complain though, the city is almost completely booked out with an average 97.7% occupancy rate during the last weeks of March Madness.


Even though the NCAA aggressively acts against the popular betting season, the gambling continues to grow.


“Sports wagering can be a serious crime that threatens the well-being of student-athletes and the integrity of the game.” -NCAA


It’s grown so much that is been debated as a gambling event even more than a sporting event! There are countless tips and tricks for gamblers to get the most out of the March Madness. Statistics are built up over decades, fan favorites are promoted to the fullest and some are simply trying to get lucky like everyone else.


As most of the gambling from March Madness is between friends, co-workers, or other similar situations, it tends to become an appealing social activity for others to join in. Some have even labeled March Madness gambling as a “gate-way” gambling problem.

For the love of the game, I sincerely pray that the forces of gambling does not interfere with the meaning of what makes sports so great. Especially for such young adults performing for millions of Americans, corrupting the game is ultimately, corrupting the players.


Always rooting for the Cinderella team.
