so the NFL doesn't want sportsbetting on the internet where it might be regulated, taxed and monitored, otherwise it is going to stay underground and be untaxed. I wonder what NFL ratings would be like if nobody bet on the games to begin. Take the Superbowl for example, if you take away betting how many people would still watch this game or talk about it after the Giants pulled through with the big upset. I think your money is safer betting on a game then in the stock markets.
