Professional-sports leagues would like you to believe they have the gambling problem under control. They have hired high-tech security companies to monitor wagers at a granular level and implemented sophisticated algorithmic systems to spot unusual gambling activity, ensuring that no athlete would be foolish enough to wager on a game.


But they are clearly no match for the highly addictive, always-intriguing prop bet.

Advice that doesn’t mention trade-offs is usually incomplete. Every decision has a downside, and if someone ignores that, they’re only telling half the story.
