On this episode of Guaranteed Money, Ryan Doyle and millennial entrepreneur Anthony Varrell dissect hot sports betting news from this past week.
Falcons NFL star Calvin Ridley got caught wagering on football and is suspended indefinitely through 2022 over a $1500 bet on NFL games. Before, gambling was illegal, but with sports betting becoming legalized in many states, this opens some serious questions about whether the rules are too antiquated. Should athletes be allowed to wager on sports at all? What about betting on the sports that they play, and how would either affect the future of the sports wagering business?
