Of a truth sports journalists may be on the pressure to bet, yet those with the professional mindset do keep away from it because it could risk their credibility or raise interest conflicts. As though I was a journalist, I'm not sure to bet on the very game I report on as I may not enjoy it and could bring bias into my coverage. Let gambling and work be kept on separate parts,it better that way, let fans do the betting and let journalist enjoy the sport as it is.

It will really give people to find some loopholes in their profession. A way to ruin their public image if they are seeing that you are betting as well. As a public figure, you should know how to manage your image and maintain your credibility. You should not let the public find a hole that will give them reason not to trust you in whatever you are delivering to the public. Do remember, one mistake and it can ruin your entire career. What you have built throughout the years can just vanished at one wrong move. You can always find that money, but reputation - would be very hard to build again after it has been tarnished.
