Sports I'm In The Wrong Business

[zephyr 12]

I should be a bookie:

Sports betting is doing nothing but growing in Vegas, and the 180+ legitimate and licensed bookies there raked in 44 million dollars last year alone.

I don't need a large piece of that pie, and sliver will do.

I keep telling myself that it would have been a good idea to consider bookmarking, if the amount of revenue involved is anything to go by. It is interesting to also note that over $70m was bet on the Conor McGregor Vs Floyd Mayweather Jr fight. That tells you how gambling is such a serious business!

Yet gambling is as immoral as boxing to some people.

And that fight, I know quite a few people who bet on McGregor. The Mayweather fans couldn't wrap their heads around people expecting him to win when he was never in a boxing ring a day in his life. I don't bet on boxing, but I can see their point.
