Hockey Betting Scandal
Been listening on the radio and this will probably get ugly.
But I always wondered why a pro player, say hockey, can't place a bet say...on the superbowl...Why not?, that doesn't mean the guy will turn bad and start throwing hockey games etc.

It wasn't the fact that he was betting....it was the fact that Tocchet was running it as a bookie....that's illegal.
Its also illegal to be placing bets with someone who isn't licensed by the State......The government wants their cut you know. |

So is it "ok" with the league if a player puts a "legit vegas type" bet on another sport? I think not? though I think it should be ok.

In hockey you may bet "legally" on any other sport as long as its not hockey...Also it seems a major crime family in South Jersey and Philly has been involved...Just the tip of the iceberg...

I highly doubt she will be going to prison, odds are the govt will keep all the money confiscated and all concerned will get a slap on the wrist.

Not when it involves RICO.She may certainly not go up but many others most certainly will and she is the instrument that'll send'em up!
Anyways who cares?

Sportsflash on EEI says that wiretaps have Gretzky talking on phone about the gambling operation. This was BEFORE the case was announced. Even though the tap doesn't contain evidence that Gretzky did any betting, it shows he clearly lied about not knowing anything about it.

According to New jersey law its not illegal to place bets, but its illegal to collect them. Sounds like entrapment to me. |
 Beer is the reason we get up each afternoon.
