Even as the biggest news of late in the sports world is the gambling/rigging/literally-the-mafia-connected NBA scandal , it’s not as if the other major professional sports leagues have been untouched by sports betting-related concerns in recent years. In Major League Baseball, for example, you had the friend and interpreter for the sport’s biggest star going to prison for crimes related to a sports betting operation, funded primarily by stealing from Shohei Ohtani.
