Sports Gambling - Is Anyone Investigating?


For the best coverage of the Tim Donaghy scandal (NBA referee and gambler), read this NY Times story, complete with video.


However...nobody has asked what seems to me the obvious question:


Is this a case of a rogue bad apple, or the tip of an iceberg?


If known gamblers and criminals are wired into a Tim Donaghy, why would they not be making dozens of similar deals with other short men who are surrounded by hulking mammoths who earn millions compared to their own blue collar wages?


Is this a freak of nature or a cottage industry?


The NBA appears to be happy to take the foul shot and call it a game.
