As it should be. Last thing the NBA or any other pro league needs is to hand out a slap on the wrist only to see more players try figure out a way to mess around with the system

Yeah, as much as I think it's hypocritical to be so in bed with sports betting groups, there's really no two ways around this. The NBA basically had no choice but to Pete Rose him given that, short of outright throwing games, this is the exact last thing that can be tolerable in pro sports by anyone involved in the game.
