I don't know if I will still have spare time to gamble if I am busy being a sports journalist. These guys don't just give information out without checking it, and I bet they do a lot of hard work to provide news that will satisfy their listeners or readers.
One of the known sports journalists and analysts in American sports is Adrian Wojnarowski, and I believe he is busier conducting analysis about the sports that he covers, and I doubt he gambles his money on the team that looks like a winner for him. Having that fun job, I don't think I will gamble at all.
I agree with you, I think sports journalism is a job that requires more time to analyze the news that will be provided, plus if there are changes in certain information that must be updated, because we know that in the world of sports there are so many unexpected things that happen, so if I were a sports journalist, then I don't think I would have time to bet or gamble based on the information that has been obtained, because there is no time.
Besides that, the information obtained by a journalist is not necessarily accurate if used for gambling analysis, because the course of a match is also something that cannot be predicted, it could change and not meet expectations, and one example of a case for example is about a playmaker on a team who turned out to be injured, so I think that is an unexpected thing and makes our predictions wrong, and of course there will be other cases that might occur. Well, so I think time and professionalism will be a barrier.
