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?
I think that sports journalists use their knowledge and bet on sports. I am sure that their logic is that they need to use their skills to earn extra money, and it is stupid if they have such a hobby and do not use it. I am sure that some journalists even have telegram channels where they recommend advice on sports betting.
Perhaps they do it incognito, because any publication or agency where such a journalist works may be against it.
