Silver, and all the other pro and college commissioners want $$. First he called it an "integrity fee" and then an "oversight cost" and now I don't what. New Jersey told him to FO, which was the right answer. The results of the games are public information and the leagues, and thus the players, already make enough money, Nevada, which has had sports gambling for decades, has never paid a dime to the leagues. The casinos, the Nevada Gaming Commission and the FBI have a dedicated oversight unit and look for irregular betting patterns, which has already been expanded to cover New Jersey and other states.
Further the casinos keep the limits for regular games quite low, particularly college games, which is the only sport you have a shot at compromising, unless you honestly think people making 10s if not 100s of millions of $$ are going to risk that. Nobody is ever going to rub up against a Marshall, or even a WVU or even a UNC/Kentucky/Kansas/Duke basketball player and tell him to throw the game because the system will lock down if a pattern is seen of unusual bets, and the limit even the largest casino will give you on college games is too small to matter, particularly mid-majors
BTW, the geniuses at the dog casino have their sports book shut down. Signed a deal with a company in England, which farmed out the tech work to a guy in Cyprus, who doubled his price and then pulled the plug when they refused. Sadly typical of that mismanaged place.
