Ncaa president wants to ban prop bets

[tabascojet]

Says it challenges the integrity of the games and athletes are being harassed....

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

Why... Ohtani betting on those too

 

[Foppa21]

I actually believe him. Can totally see a certain sort approaching athletes trying to get them to fix games or shave points. Theres thousands of colleges with a bunch of sports each it makes sense their office has been inudated with reports of this.

I have to think this will eventually happen. Its way to easy for athletes to game the system.

Doesn't even need to be mafia or anything, could just be some dirtball from high school begging you to leave the game early cause he has his daughter's college fund on the under. I'm totally for it, anything to fuck with these sites.

They already have successfully lobbied 3 states to comply...Ohio Vermont and Maryland.

Don't some states have betting on any local teams banned as well.

You don't need a prop bet on how many points johnny collegiate scores to still profit at the sportsbook. I won't be surprised if more states follow suit.

The players themselves can “adjust” their stats for their own prop bets. 99% of them have absolutely nothing to lose. Not only is it extremely easy to do, it damn near impossible for anyone to figure out its happening.

Spot on
There is a reason illegal books are always suspicious of any large bets on college basketball. They will outright refuse a large wager on obscure games. I heard this on a sports talk station when the old school host pointed this out.

A regular season game between North Arizona vs Cal Valparaiso how hard is it to get their best scorer to not shoot threes and get below his three point made prop . No offense to anyone I just used some random schools that came off the top of my head as an example. It could be any small school from a conference you never heard of.

Louisiana is the 10th state to ban ncaa prop bets...goes into effect August 1st

I see alot of sportsbooks now making certain ncaa prop bets only one way.... ie just overs no unders
