Woj Drops a Truth Bomb About the Impact of Legalized Betting on Fan Behavior

1. If you read my columns or follow me on Twitter or listen to the SI Media Podcast, you know that I enjoy placing a wager every now and then.

Just last night, I had the over on 32.5 points for Joel Embiid (tough loss), over 20.5 points for Jordan Poole (easy win) and this dagger of a loss because Nikola Jokiu0107 decided to get thrown out of the Nuggets’ blowout loss to the Warriors in the fourth quarter.

Because I like to wager and know the anger that comes with a bad beat, I found myself doing the slow head nod of approval over and over as I listened to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski explain why legalized sports betting and live in-game betting are going to create major problems for the NBA.
