That's really not that much 125/150 a week
Hard to stop a kid if they feel it's automatic
150 a week is still a decent amount to throw away; save that for a week, that's a good emergency fund
Maybe? But it's called gambling for a reason.
Point being. 35k is a lot of money to throw away on that.
Agency: No evidence Iowa, Iowa St. games fixed
A state agency involved in the Iowa and Iowa State sports gambling investigation found no evidence of games being manipulated by gambling interests.
Well that's all he has to do is come up with a $20 bill. Then takes the winnings from that and then make a bunch more $20 bills with it. It's not that hard to miss a basket or 2 especially if you're betting on your own team.
I think a decent rule would be for the NCAA to ban kids from betting on the sport they play in general. If a Basketball player wants to bet legally on College football or baseball, then so be it. He just can't bet on college Basketball. same goes for other sports, bet on anything but the sport you play.
I don't know if education for the college age kids is an issue in 2023. I played division 2 college baseball starting in 2005 before anyone ever dreamed of picking up a phone and instantly placing a bet and we had meetings about not betting on sports and not even being able to be in a march madness pool or we could be ineligible.
I am sure in 2023 with the level of money these kids generate and opportunities they have someone informs them that betting on college sports is not allowed.
As for it being a lot of money and some suggesting he has a problem it depends on the success rate whether that is true. If he had inside information on all of his bets then it wouldn’t be a problem at all if it were all winnings.
Let’s say you invest in stocks, put $1,000 in the stock market and in 4 years you now have $34,000. You wouldn’t have a problem you would be considered a great trader right? It all depends on how much of his money he has put into it. If he started with $500 in his account and never put money back into it then most here would be happy to have that problem!
If he has put $34,000 out of pocket into his bets and has never won then wow that would be a huge problem! Don’t have the information to determine that.
Regardless he will obviously never play college sports again unless he transfers to Duke or UNC.

Again, I think the issue there is, athletes hang out together and in similar circles, especially at their respective schools. Would be really easy for them to influence each others games. "Hey man, need you to throw some bad pitches tonight." "Or, know you guys have a basketball game tonight, make sure you miss a couple of shots..."
