See who the syndicates are playing every day. Is not a pretty sight. Our weekly mailing is a must read. Daly takes a look at all things sports book related in his thrice-weekly column. Well, the boys in the Ivory Tower have really outdone themselves in their dogged pursuit to tell the rest of us what we already knew.
College kids bet on sports.
This latest hot flash comes to us courtesy of a survey by the eggheads from the University of Memphis s Institute for Gambling Research. The study, conducted at three universities in the Midwest, revealed that 25 percent of male student athletes may be engaged in illegal sports betting, and five percent place bets directly through illegal bookies. Okay, one more study shows us conclusively that male college students like to bet on sports. Gee, imagine a generation of healthy, young males engaged in activities that might be less than constructive. Maybe they realize the old adage about all work and no play might be true.
