With sports gambling recently being passed through legislation in Michigan, now seems like as good as time as any to look at how betting the Detroit Pistons has looked and could look moving forward with this season.

The Pistons opened the season with a win total set at 37.5, +2500 to win the Central Division, +10000 to win the Eastern Conference, and +20000 to win the NBA Finals (odds courtesy of The Action Network). The odds for the Central, Eastern Conference, and even NBA Finals all make sense seeing as the Pistons never declared themselves as contenders and also share a division and conference with the Milwaukee Bucks among other quality teams. The Pistons are currently on pace to win only 28 games, with the back end of the schedule looking tougher than the front. This would clearly cause a big miss on their win total of 37.5, which many thought early on was low for a team who won 41 games the past year and strengthened their bench.

What wasnt expected and what may have caused a lot of the misery in betting the Pistons this year has been the injuries. The roster has been quite depleted as many know and that has clearly affected the gambling aspect of the Pistons season. Obviously, these things go hand in hand. When the team doesnt perform, they dont cover, and Detroit hasnt covered their line often.

Again, they are the leagues worst ATS. The Pistons are 8-13 ATS when at Little Caesars Arena which coincides directly with their record at home. This leaves them at 6-13-1 ATS when visiting opponents. No team has covered less on the road. If you bet trends, you may be catching on a bit. Betting against the Pistons away would have netted a +200 unit profit this first half of the season.

The Pistons opened the season at Indiana, winning a positive moneyline of +260 and covering a +7.5 line. Since, much like the season has gone, the Pistons went downhill from a betting perspective. Maybe most notably against the spread, the Pistons saw their biggest line as +14.5 underdogs when they visited the Lakers at the Staples Center. Detroit covered by losing the game by 7 points in a hard fought battle away from home while 60% of the public had bet the Lakers.

Moving on to point totals (Over/Unders), the Pistons also have a clear trend in this department. They are tied for the most overs hit throughout the season with Miami at 24. They are 24-17 in total for Over/Unders. Just as betting against Detroit away from LCA would have been lucrative, betting their over at home has been quite productive, hitting 14 out of 21 games. Theyre an even 10-10 away. Holding a poor defensive rating of 111.7 is likely to blame for most of the games going over the point total, but the Pistons themselves have also not elapsed 100 points in just 9 of their 41 games.

To have such a discrepancy in ATS totals and Over/Unders only tells you that Vegas and the line creators are just as confused with this team as we are. The team has drastically under performed, and evidently, the lines are still favoring the Pistons perhaps more than they should, especially with the direction the team is moving towards. With a roundabout lineup that is constantly shifting, injuries still plaguing Detroit, and the young guns getting more and more minutes, its truly almost impossible to know what to expect, let alone what to bet on this team moving forward.

Though there are trends, the lurking uncertainty of the teams future will also have a huge hand in what to bet on this team throughout the rest of the season. My best advice; dont bet on the Pistons this season.

An in-depth gambling analysis of the Detroit Pistons - PistonPowered

Spelinspektionen, the gambling regulatory body of Sweden is now looking to amend the countrys rules to ban its licensed gambling operators from presenting odds on rule violations such as a technical foul in basketball or a yellow card in football.

Currently in draft form and undergoing a consultation process, the regulations are aimed to prevent match fixing in sports by dis-incentivizing athletes and referees from committing or calling rule violations to help fix matches. By banning bets on disqualifications, cards, and other penalties, Spelinspektionen expects that the impact of fixers on individual athletes or referees would be minimised and the integrity of sports betting can be retained.

The ban on rule violations is the first of three new rules Spelinspektionen wishes to introduce. Bans on bets that pay out only when an athlete or team loses as well as on bets that pay out based on the performance of an athlete under the age of 18 are also being considered by the gambling regulator.

According to Camilla Rosenburg, the director general of Spelinspektionen, the introduction of the new rules is aimed at minimising the risk of match fixing. Rosenburg stated that the regulatory body was working with the Match Fixing Council to analyse data gathered by gambling and sports betting firms as well as sports bodies to detect possible match fixing.

The new rules are a significant compromise from initial reports that indicated Spelinspektionen would be taking a more restrictive approach, involving a restriction on licensed gambling operators to offer odds through a centralised directory of competitions and events, where licensed gambling operators. This tack was later abandoned by Spelinspektionen due to concerns that it would increase the appeal of unlicensed gambling operators to prolific sports bettors.

The consultation period for the new rules will be until February 14; Spelinspektionen will consider all feedback received regarding the proposed regulations.

The International Betting Integrity Association (IBIA) has expressed its scepticism on the proposed regulations with respect to their effectiveness in curbing match fixing. The IBIAs chief executive, Khalid Ali stated that while they were willing to work with regulators regarding match fixing, they believe that the proposed Swedish regulations are unjustified and ineffective.

Ali noted that the Swedish betting market is too small for match fixers to operate in, increasing the odds of their being caught. He went on to say that if Spelinspektionen decides to impose such regulations, the consumers would bear the brunt of the rules and not match fixers.

A more inclusive society

Our Catholic social teaching compels us to speak out as part of this months National Migration Week for a more inclusive society that supports and respects all its residents. Despite the fact that Omaha has a rich heritage of welcoming newcomers, including immigrants, refugees and newly naturalized citizens, we find our city is facing a growing tendency in some who are viewing newcomers as burdens or suspects rather than individuals who are our sisters and brothers.

We are called to overcome a growing lethargy about this refugee crisis that includes failing to learn the facts and failing to use our voices and our votes for change in systems that continue to create unwelcoming systems.

In the spirit of the theme for this years Catholic National Migration Week, Promoting a Church and a World for All, we Notre Dame Sisters reject dismissing or isolating the stranger. Our current immigration system is morally broken, and so all of us need to advocate Congress for systemic reform that honors the innate dignity of all human persons.

Why we need the wall

Anne Carroll, in the Jan. 10 Public Pulse, stated that the wall is a poor use of federal funds and we could better use the money to provide shelter for the homeless, stock food pantries, fund teacher pay raises and update aging bridges.

I agree with her when she says that not all illegal immigrants entering the U.S. are murderers. But some are, and she should ask the families of those citizens who have lost a loved one killed by an illegal immigrant if they agree with her.

We are a nation of laws. We may not agree with all of our laws but we have to obey them. And illegal immigrants entering the U.S. without permission or proper documentation have broken our laws, and that is not something to ignore.

Also, Ms. Carroll should understand that most of the illegal drugs consumed here in the U.S. come across that porous Southern border, contributing to our opioid crisis, which is costing our taxpayers billions each year.

The wall is costly but necessary.

Electoral College has value

The gentleman from Ogallala (Electoral College failures, Jan. 9 Public Pulse) should review his civics lessons. The U.S. is a democratic republic and not just a democracy. Would you like the government to be run by the states of California and New York? Under a pure democracy, those states having the largest population would always control election outcomes.

Give our forefathers some credit.

Trump is a disaster

In response to Sharon Struves Jan. 10 Pulse letter, Ill quote Rev Martin Luther King: Nothing is more dangerous than sheer ignorance. A good example of that is actually thinking Democrats are angry because Trump won no, theyre angry because hes stupid and he illustrates that on a daily basis.

I did not realize that it was a presidential duty to spend one day out of three days at his properties, and one out of five at his golf courses, spending enormous sums of taxpayer money for the travel and security of his family to do so. Or that before he could get us out of these endless wars, hed feel compelled to commit murder to start another one.

He has insulted our allies, imposed tariffs that will come out of our pockets, kissed up to all the dictators that he actually thinks like him and made us the laughing stock of the world! Democrats, erstwhile, have passed hundreds of pieces of legislation that are still sitting on the desk of Mitch McConnell instead of being put up for a vote.

Try a little fact-checking. Our congressional delegation is already doing a bang-up job of spouting ignorance all by themselves.

Threat to gun rights

On Jan. 8, State Sen. John McCollister of District 20 introduced into the new session of the Nebraska Legislature Legislative Bill 816 to Provide for information and training on firearm safety and suicide prevention and place restrictions and requirements on certain transfers of firearms. On Jan. 10 this bill was forwarded to the Judiciary Committee for consideration and review.

In reading this bill, I am struck as to how similar it is to the bills in front of the Virginia Legislature. Was LB 816 introduced here in Nebraska at the behest and support of Michael Bloomberg, active in promoting gun control, as were the bills in Virginia? What will Senator McCollister gain by introducing this bill?

It may be time for the good citizens of Nebraska to begin the establishment of 2nd Amendment Sanctuaries in our cities and counties as a mechanism to stave off these totalitarian enactments that do nothing but criminalize honest, law-abiding citizens.

Republican Party led astray

I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldnt lose voters, stated President Trump. In order to distract attention from his impeachment process he caused the murder of a high-level Iranian government official and further solidified Ayatollah Ali Khameneis political support base. Indirectly, Trump caused the death of 176 people on the commercial plane flight out of Tehran.

And sure enough, Trumps support base seems strong as ever, even from Republican senators who will soon be faced with the greatest ethical/moral issue of their lives: to vote based on facts for removal of Trump from the presidency.

If Trump is permitted to stay in office, this is a huge turning point in the more than 200-year political experiment to determine whether people, through their representatives in government, can control their country. Once our freedoms, especially of the press, our Constitution and our system of laws have been breached by the president, there will be no turning back.

I say, Weep not for me, an old man (age 87) if Trump remains in office, but for my children and their children. The Republican Party of Lincoln will be banished from history.

Gambling concerns

I am disappointed to see Omahans urging the state to legalize gambling in order to capture local money that supposedly is flowing into neighboring Iowas casinos.

Unfortunately, they are laboring under a widespread misconception, because casino profits do not remain in local economies. Instead, they flow out of state to major gambling corporations. Actually, casinos are more likely to hurt than help a states economy.

Most casinos draw their customers from within a 50-mile radius. The money they lose is money that wont go to local merchants, restaurants and gamblers families. All the problems associated with gambling would likely increase.

According to an article in the Atlantic magazine entitled A Good Way to Wreck a Local Economy: Build Casinos, No one should look to the gambling industry to revive cities because thats not what casinos do.

The article continues: As casino expansion reaches its limits, the towns and cities that turned to gambling to escape their problems may discover that they have accepted a suckers bet local economies that look worse than ever, local residents tempted into new forms of self-destructive behavior and a dwindling flow of cash to show for it all.

Also, casinos dont encourage non-gambling businesses to open nearby, because the people who most often visit casinos do not wander out to visit other shops and businesses.

Truly, gambling is a suckers bet for Nebraskans.

CLEVELAND (AP) - Gambling revenue at Ohios four casinos and seven racinos rose to a record $1.94 billion in 2019, according to figures reported by the states lottery and casino control commissions.

Continuing a year-to-year upward trend, it brought the total to $11.9 billion in gambling revenue since Ohios first casino opened in May 2012, Cleveland.com reported. That sum accounts for the money left after facilities pay out winnings for slot machines and table games, but it doesnt include profits from horse wagering or food sales.

The total gambling revenue for last year was up more than 4% from $1.86 billion in 2018. The "racinos", which offer only chance-based slot machines, brought in $1.1 billion, an increase of 6.2% from 2018. The casinos saw a smaller increase of 1.6% and logged $851 million in gambling revenue.

Taxes and fees send about one-third of the revenue or about $650 million last year to the state.

Gambling is a problem that for long has been causing trouble for footballers. Various high-level players have spoken publicly about the fact that gambling can lead to financial losses and emotional trauma.

Most football stars feel the lack of adrenaline during training and at home. The absence of vivid emotions encourages athletes to try their luck in a casino where their emotions go wild every time.

Premier League stars put up to 100,000 on betting websites, and some players even have their own bookmaker who visits the training base.

Injured players often join the bets. This way, they replace the pleasure they get from playing football. Among the most popular types of gambling among footballers are:

Lets remember the most famous football players, who are seriously hooked on gambling.

Attacker Michael Chopra claims to have spent 20,000 a day on gambling. Eventually, he lost around 2 million.

The forward agreed to be treated for gambling addiction after he confessed that he signed a contract with Sunderland only for the sake of significant money, which can cover his large debts.

The first bet is the worst. The more I earn, the more I bet. Sometimes I bet 20,000 a day. As soon as I went out on the field, I was fully focused on football. But in the locker room, I immediately grabbed the phone to see if I won.

When I played in a bookmakers office, I tried to go out on the field as often as possible to get bonuses for that. Sometimes I had to play with an injury.

Paul Merson, famous in the past midfielder of Arsenal and the English national team, could lose up to 30 000 pounds in one match when he was into bets.

He overcame the craving for alcohol and cocaine, but in 2003, Merson confessed that he failed to solve the problem with gambling. Like Chopra, he agreed to treatment for gambling addiction in a specialized clinic of Tony Adams.

I got rid of alcohol and drugs, but gambling defeated me. They are the most dangerous killers in the world. I was thinking about suicide every day at the time.

Winger of Stoke City admitted that he lost more than one and a half million pounds playing poker, as well as betting on races and dog races. Etherington said that gambling is so popular among players that on the club bus, he and his partners could safely lose a weeks salary.

Im looking back now, and I understand how you can tune in to the game if you play cards on the bus for huge money that passes from hand to hand. That was so stupid.

It happens in football, but it is hard to guess who exactly does it. Take, for example, an alcoholic or drug addict when you look at a person, you can immediately understand that one is not okay. But this is not the case with a player. I have not told anyone about my adventures. Most people dont even know what my debts are.

David Bentley, a former winger of Tottenham and West Ham, could make a hundred bets in a day so huge his game addiction was.

He said that his first visit to the betting office took place at the age of 14. But David did not have the habit of stably bet until he began earning good money.

I bet on everything. At first, the amounts were just in pounds, then hundreds and then thousands. Firstly you want to win 100 pounds and then all 100,000.

When I woke up in the morning, the first thing I thought I had to bet, so the football went into the background. All I needed was to bet.

Dominic Matteo, a former Liverpool universal player, told the press in 2011 that he lost up to a million pounds on gambling. He said that his addiction was caused by boredom. Once, he bet 100 thousand pounds on one horse, which eventually lost.

I think that is a big problem for football players. I would say it is an epidemic. The gambling problem is a natural one these days. I was trembling about racing, but one day I opened an account on my phone. Thats when I started betting thousands of pounds just by typing.

Italian football suffers from many unpleasant stereotypes. And numerous scandals with contract matches have not helped this reputation at all. The Italians are so fond of betting that even the first magnitude stars like Gianluigi Buffon are often seen in casinos.

The goalkeeper was twice suspected of making illegal bets before the 2006 FIFA World Cup and in 2012 when it was reported about bets totalling 1.5 million euros.

Subsequently, Buffon was found innocent, but he never hid his love for gambling. He even was an ambassador of PokerStars for a while.

Gambling can be called not only a psychological problem but definitely a brain disease, even if in its simplest form, says Dr. Timothy Fong of the University of California.

According to experts, the borderline daily conditions of depression and euphoria, which often accompany gamblers, are the same for all stakes, regardless of the amounts operated by the person.

Stress on the verge of neurosis, identical in its violent effect on the cardiovascular system, can be caused by losing both $10 and $1 million.

6 Football Players Who Got Addicted to Gambling - Soccity

We have made it to the divisional round of the NFL playoffs, and if this weekend is anything like the wild-card round, we are in for quite an entertaining couple of days. There were surprises in all four games last week, but now that the wheat has been separated from the chaff and the No. 1 and No. 2 seeds are ready to host the victors from last weekend -- we can finally begin to evaluate who has a chance to make Super Bowl LIV.

All home teams are favorites this weekend, which shouldn't surprise anyone. But there are some interesting six-point teasers which I'll analyze below, as well as reveal the bets you should avoid and some long shots I'm interested in putting money on.

You may also want to get a few other experts' breakdowns. For that, the Pick Six Podcast always turns into a picks show on Fridays. Pete Prisco and R.J. White joined Will Brinson on this episode, which you can listen to below or click here to subscribe for all the episodes:

As for my picks, let's jump in now:

Deshaun Watson orchestrated an incredible comeback against the Buffalo Bills last week, but the Chiefs are one of the hottest teams in the NFL. Patrick Mahomes and Co. have won their last six games, including their last three by double digits. They are going to want to make a statement on Sunday, which is why they will win by double digits. The Houston Texansneeded divine intervention to win at home last week, so I'll take the well-rested Chiefs to advance.

Williams was injured in Week 11 and missed the following three games. He came back and rushed for 65 yards on 16 rushes in Week 16, and then 124 yards and two touchdowns on 12 rushes against the Los Angeles Chargers in the regular-season finale. Head coach Andy Reid clearly has made him an important part of this offense, and if the Chiefs get up early, they are going to rely on him a good amount down the stretch. Devin Singletary rushed for 58 yards on 13 carries last week against the Texans, and defenders had a hard time bringing him down. I think Williams can rush for more than 55 yards.

The Tennessee Titans scored an impressive 20-13 victory over the New England Patriots last Saturday, but Tannehill certainly did not impress in his first postseason start. He completed just 8 of 15 passes for 72 yards, one touchdown and one interception. The Titans wanted to run the Patriots to death with Derrick Henry, and they are going to try to do it again against the Baltimore Ravens this weekend. Tannehill will pass for at least 100 yards this week, but not 220 yards.

Many people seem to believe the Seahawks are going to beat the Green Bay Packers straight up just because Matt LaFleur's team failed to register any impressive wins this season. Still, the defense led the Packers to a 13-3 record, and Aaron Rodgers played well enough to secure a first-round bye. On the flip side, the Seahawks barely defeated a Philadelphia Eagles team with Josh McCown under center. I have the Packers winning this game by more than a field goal.

The point total of 44 for Vikings-49ers is the lowest of any game this weekend. The Vikings needed overtime to score more than 20 points against the New Orleans Saints last weekend, and Jimmy Garoppolo will make his first postseason start on Saturday. This Minnesota defense was absolutely outstanding in the wild-card round, and while I have the 49ers winning this matchup -- I don't think it's going to be anything close to a shootout.

It was impressive what the Titans did last weekend on the road against the Patriots, but they don't have much of a chance to beat the Ravens on Saturday. The Ravens haven't lost since late September and they have won their past three games by double digits. They are going to want to make a statement in front of their home fans this postseason.

Jackson has rushed for two touchdowns only once this season, but it could happen on Saturday. If the Ravens get up early, they will try to run down the clock, and Jackson is arguably their best option on the ground. I think he will rush for at least one touchdown, and who knows, Josh Allen caught a touchdown last week -- maybe Jackson will catch one off a trick play this week.

The Eagles played the Seahawks tough last week, but Russell Wilson should have scored more than just 17 points in Philly. The Packers defense is pretty relentless, and he will spend most of Sunday dodging Za'Darius Smith and Preston Smith. It wouldn't be surprising if the Seahawks are the lowest scoring team this weekend.

There's a saying in Tennessee that all Firkser does is catch touchdowns. Obviously it's somewhat of a joke since he only caught two touchdown passes this season, but there's also some truth to the matter. The backup tight end actually led all Titans receivers with 23 yards on two receptions last week, and caught Tannehill's only touchdown pass. Firkser is a red zone threat, and if the Titans plan on moving the ball slowly and methodically down the field using Henry, that means Firkser is going to have a shot on third-and-goal.

Ranking the moneyline value is always tough and completely subjective. Spread aside, I think the 49ers are going to beat the Vikings in San Francisco. Stefon Diggs has been sick all week and Adam Thielen received stitches in his ankle on Wednesday. The Ravens should beat the Titans and I put the Vikings at No. 4 since they shocked us last week. Maybe those people in Minneapolis are up to something. In the wild-card round I was convinced the Bills and Titans would win, so they were high in my mind when ranking the moneyline value. This week, I don't have an underdog that I'm absolutely in love with.

It's possible that the Chiefs could blow the Texans out, but if you're nervous about the nine-point spread, take the teaser. We've already discussed that I like the 49ers, but I don't think they will blow the Vikings out -- which is why Minnesota is at No. 3 at +13.

NFL playoffs gambling guide: Locks, props, parlays, teasers, what to avoid and more for the divisional round - CBS Sports

The APPGs (All-Party Parliamentary Group) chair for Gambling Related Harm, Carolyn Harris, has recently called for further reform of the Gambling Act 2005, and the UK Gambling Commission, to help improve the protection of vulnerable people from the industry.

The MPs call for reform within the gambling sector was first made last November, demanding for a stake limit of 2 for operators online casino games and any new casino games in 2020.

On the 9th January, Carolyn Harris brought to attention the gambling industrys relationship to the FA (English Football Association), criticising deals between the two and urging for more to be done by the UK government. Harris stated:

Everything about the deal is shameful, everything about it needs to be dealt with and everything about the Gambling Act 2005 need reform. The Gambling Commission certainly needs reform.

Harris further commented I thank the Prime Minister for his comments, but I urge the Government to do more to protect vulnerable people.

Many players are enticed by offers of free spins, no deposits and until now, have been able to use credit cards to deposit money for betting. (Source: CasinoViking UK)

Harris also made comments on how problem gambling should be treated as a public health crisis and that whilst it seemed the FA was beginning to distance itself from the gambling sector by ending its sponsorship with Ladbrokes, its 2017 deal with IMG was evidence to the contrary.

Online gambling operators have recently been streaming FA Cup games, with site users only able to access the games once they had either deposited money or made a bet.

The FA has been criticised for its relationship with the gambling sector, with the deal between the IMG agency and the FA enabling IMG to sell footage of the games to operators. This deal is said to last until 2024.

Nigel Adams (Minister for Sport, Media and Creative Industries), responded to Harriss comments, stating that The Government are also very angry about this arrangement, especially after a weekend when the FA worthily highlighted its Heads Together mental health campaign.

I have spoken at some length to the FA since this broke. The arrangement has been in place for some time; the 2017 contract was a rollover of a deal. The Government have asked the Football Association to look at all avenues to review this element of its broadcasting agreement.

Adams further commented that the FA have been asked to review the deal to see what opportunities there are to rescind this particular element, and that he is meeting with the FA in the next week.

Parliament Calls for Further Reform of the Gambling Act 2005 - Bytestart

The stock market may not be the economy, but the stock market is the place where investors make bets about the economy.

Right now, investors are betting that the Trump economy is going to vindicate the president and prove the experts wrong.

During the early days of his presidency, Donald Trump boasted that US GDP would grow as fast as 6% annually under his administration.

The White House quickly moderated that forecast to a much less-ambitious 3% GDP target, albeit one the US economy failed to hit in each of Trumps first three years in office.

But according to $5.7 trillion asset manager Vanguard, stock market valuations reveal that investors believe the fourth time will be the charm.

Vanguard Chief Economist Joseph Davis told Bloomberg that the equity market is priced for 3% GDP growth in 2020, even though most experts believe the US economy will struggle to clear the 2% threshold.

A recent survey of professional forecasters found that the consensus outlook for Real GDP growth is 1.8%. Davis believes that target is still too optimistic.

Citing lackluster Treasury yields, he says the bond market is pricing in 2% growth as a best-case scenario. He predicts the US economy will slow to a near-crawl in 2020, dropping GDP growth to just 1% from an estimated 2.3% last year.

That could set the stock market up for a rude awakening.

Stock prices rose far more sharply than corporate earnings in 2019, driving valuation multiples toward record highs.

Historically, the stock market hasnt remained this divorced from profits for long. Either profits must rise or prices will fall.

The confidence that investors have in the re-acceleration of the economy and profits hasnt been shaken, and you need that to justify prices where they are and to continue to see positive performance in 2020, Thomas Hainlin, global investment strategist at Ascent Private Capital Management at US Bank, told The Wall Street Journal.

Unfortunately for investors, even the White House may be giving up on its 3% GDP goal, though not because the president suddenly thinks the target is unreasonable.

Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said on Sunday that Boeings ongoing struggles could erase as much as 50 basis points from overall US GDP. He lowered his 2020 forecast accordingly to 2.5%.

Judging by todays stock market rally, Wall Street bulls dont appear to be having similar reservations. Both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq closed the session at new all-time highs.
