While I agree with the concept of pay for performance, especially with overpaid professional athletes, the gambling per se is not the real problem here. The real problem is that gambling in this country is run by organized crime, especially in areas where the gambler is dealing with a bookie. Being in regular contact with the crime organizations, and being in debt to them, is where these situations take a left turn into corruption.
