The sports industry does not only consist of athletes and managers. There are also the reporters or journalists. They are the ones who go to watch live sports and report trackside or from the studio. They follow the season and the athletes. They are the ones who build a narrative and share it to the public. It got me thinking whether they do sports betting or not and uses whatever inside information they have. Or do they spread something just to bet something different? If you were a sports journalist, would you enjoy betting on the sports you report on?
You touched on a very interesting point! Indeed, sports journalists play a fundamental role in shaping the sports narrative and bringing information to the public. Regarding betting, I believe most of them take professional ethics very seriously and avoid using any privileged information to bet, as this would be a conflict of interest and could damage their credibility and that of the sports industry.
But, of course, the temptation is there, and that's why the subject is sensitive. If I were a sports journalist, I think I would prefer to maintain an ethical stance and separate my work from betting to preserve the public's trust.
That's my opinion.
