Seriously defending this!
Leagues have benefited from gambling for decades, even before this forum was born,the earliest deal for that is from the 80s!!!!

Whatever this topic has achieved one thing is clear: people have absolutely no clue how the real world works and posting stupid shit, ending probably with 20 pages of nonsense just because here everyone is quota posting without caring to even research a second what he is talking about! And this is why we have the whole section condemned as the garbage bin of the forum!

The problem is you’re only basing it on the topic title. You might not have actually read the content of the thread that OP wrote.

I’ll quote it here.

Do you think that sport leagues should be incentivized by sportsbooks and casinos since after all sport leagues are the ones who make it possible for sportsbooks and casinos to profit from its bettors.

On the bolded part, OP meant sportsbooks and casinos. Your previous reply mentioned Sportradar, which isn’t a sportsbook or a bookmaker, so you didn’t really answer the question. He was asking about a sportsbook, not a sports data and tech company like Sportradar.

Therefore, they don't profit from sports betting because the payment is for the data they supply, not on the gambling outcome.

As I understand his statement, he meant that odds provider the one that making odds and giving data to sportsbook which offer to consumers for betting is already paying money to the league.

Sportsbook is paying the odds provider to get those data therefore the league is already benefiting from the sportbook.

Sportsbook is not directly incentivizing the league but they do share profit to them through odds provider.
