Accurate summary.

I concur, this has been quite a sobering discussion and while I remain an active sports bettor I must acknowledge the ethical concerns are legitimate and the current integration between sports and betting operators likely crosses important boundaries that should be reestablished through regulation.

Prof agreeing to regulation.

Everyone agreeing to regulation.

Hell has frozen over.
