No HOF for him.
because card players gamble all the time. Figured out it was a "Cards" player.

I liked the BETMGM ad that was embedded in the story (at least on my phone).

If other gamblers knew about his bets, then they might have assumed that he had inside information, and they could have subsequently placed large bets that might have caused the point spread to move.
He’s in IR now but what about next year when maybe he’s in thousands of dollars in debt.

Gotta admit, the thread title freaked me out for a second

holy #### is this how gambling works? (seriously though, despite the fact it's kinda silly and not feasible by any means - what's bad about any of this that would prompt the NFL to step in?)

players/coaches are the worst sports betters ever. Look at coaches/ex-players on these shows where they give picks. They are awful. The betting lines are smarter than them, and basically everybody else.
Less than 1% of betters win longterm. That includes those who play/coach the game.
Unless he was betting on/against his own team who cares.

About their habit.
I would gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today.

i think most sports betters will admit they are losers overall. it makes the games more fun and when you win it feels great, but none of us are winning overall if we bet a lot.

that 1% thing is probably true, and everyone knows that, but the key word is "long term." you gotta have a long-term mindset to win long term: budget your income for discretionary funds, establish a unit size as a percentage of your bankroll, harbor some personal discipline, utilize as many outs as you can to line shop, and only buy the lines that offer the best expected value it's simple

Yes, this is how gambling (sometimes) works. Professional gamblers are always looking for an edge, and sometimes they'll make massive bets based on inside information, and it can actually cause the betting line to move.ChainsawU said:
The NFL is coming down hard on Shaw because they don't want the public to even think that the integrity of the game has been compromised. Notice that the NFL was quick to claim that Shaw didn't use any inside information. That claim was probably a bunch of hogwash, but they had to say it to calm the concerns of gamblers.
This is similar to what happened with Pete Rose. He may not have thrown any games, but other gamblers knew that when he bet big on the Reds, then they should do the same.

It wasn't until you posted that quote that I remembered it was the same guy who faked saving his nephew at a pool, and said that's how he broke his ankles. 5 years later and he still hasn't learned very much.ChainsawU said:
