"He bet another $85,700 on Tennessee’s first-half spread against Auburn. Tennessee led by seven before an Auburn three-pointer at the end of the half cut the Vols’ lead to four—still a cover for Hennen."

I had been assured here and elsewhere that my complaints about weird officiating being linked to this sort of thing were unfounded.

Read a report recently how sports gambling has exploded in the last couple of years and the stories of addiction and destroyed families because of it actually moved me to tears. Utterly sickening to read about the children in these families affected by such activities. One man was painfully $300,000 in the hole with no hope!
