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?
There is a journalist or reporter who is paid only to follow and cover sports and is not allowed to place bets. Usually, there is an agreement behind all of this, and if the journalist or reporter breaks that agreement, they will face punishment or sanctions. But we don’t really know what actually happens, and I’m sure many reporters and journalists also place bets on certain sports.
