I mean these dudes make way too much. Why risk it, no way you could make more via betting. Devin Vassell (call me a casual, till Tuesday I didn’t even know who that was) will make more by the end of his current contract that Connor fucking McDavid will make by the same time.

The players benefit a lot from all those gambling endorsements by the league, it’s a major reason the salary cap can be that high and they can make that much. Darius Garland is making 40m per year. I’m no hater, but that’s more than CEOs of JPMorgan, BOA, Goldman, Coke, Nike and so on.

Just think of how successful a business you own and operate has to be for you to be making 30-40m even for 5 years.
