Everything that has advantage also has to an extent some level of disadvantage, sports betting so far has added to the participation and viewership of sports across the globe, this is because prediction and winning comes with a reward, and a lot of times this rewards is heavily mouth watering, so you wouldn't blame anybody that wants to participate in sports betting seeing the advantage that comes with it.
however when sports betting affects the sports activities, like match fixing or trying to influence the outcome of games, this is when the rules that guide the various sports comes in, and anybody or club found wanting will have to pay heavily for it, I can remember a certain time juventus FC an Italian club was accused of match fixing, after when they were found guilty, some points were deducted from them and I think they were relegated or something of that nature. However in times of gambling, the universal role in gambling is for you to show sportsmanship, that is to say, is either you lose some or you win some, so you should not take it to heart when you lose, besides gambling is entirely based on your own discretion, nobody is being coerced to gamble, so whatever revenue the gambling companies are making, it's entirely out of people's discretion.
