A Soccer from Contestoga High School, David Zimmerman, was suspended after it was discovered that he was doing bets to support basketball students. The nationally recognized coach did not have students who used applications such as Fanduel or Draftkings, but a small operation that apparently exchanged only $ 10.
What seems to be a bit fun between the coach and the players has become a scandal, as support bets become a more analyzed sports element. Support bets are a form of play that focuses less on victories and losses, but more on the actions taken during a game. According to the inquirer, it was carried out through «small paper slippers.» Money was not earned, outside the $ 10 exchanged.
Now, the school has updated its code of conduct to include a prohibition of any form of play on the fields of the campus. The main concern about the support scandal of support is the stimulus of the game to the students, which some officials believe that they could lead to the addiction to the game.
Increased support bets on officials
Cited in the ResearcherHarry Levant, director of play policy at the Institute for Public Health Defense of the University of Northeastern, said:
“If someone in a position of respect and authority is introducing children an addictive substance and somehow normalizing that or minimizing its importance.
«That person does not understand the human brain and how addiction works or does not take into account their position as a person with authority.»
«Neither would be acceptable to me.»
The sports game has become a frequent problem, with adolescents involved before, thanks to the emergence of game applications such as the aforementioned draftkings. In addition, the NCAA (National Association of Collegiate Athletics) seeks to prohibit propagation bets when pressing the Federal Government. It will be a uphill battle, since the form of play has become immensely powerful in recent years.
