Stop the Sickness: Is Zero Tolerance the Only Cure for the Gambling Plague?
Update: 2025-10-24
Description
BT & Sal go off on the growing sports gambling crisis, driven by major names like Calvin Ridley, Emmanuel Clase, Billups, and Rozier getting caught. They argue for a "zero tolerance" policy—a Pete Rose-style lifetime ban—regardless of the size of the bet, to protect the integrity of the game. The hosts analyze how the digital age and prop bets make fixing easy and scams easier to detect, even if it's not strictly "The Mob" reaching out. They also rip the NCAA for recently allowing college athletes to bet on pro sports, calling it a setup for failure as players transition to leagues with strict rules. The consensus: the leagues must act decisively to stop the "sickness."
