"Professional athletes cannot bet on their own sport, including games in their league, to prevent insider trading. This rule is strictly enforced across major leagues."
"Athletes can freely bet on other sports, as they are considered to have no more insider information than the average fan. They are treated like any other customer."
Professional athletes are prohibited from betting on their own sport, including any games in their league, to prevent insider trading. This rule is strictly enforced across major leagues like the NFL, NBA, MLB, and NHL. However, athletes can freely bet on other sports, as they are considered to have no more insider information than the average fan. As long as they do not seek special treatment from sportsbooks, they are treated like any other customer.
