legal in foreign countries since forever, and 50 percent of the soccer clubs
in the EPL are sponsored by gambling companies.

However, their sports shows don’t comment on odds or spreads, or give their
opinions on who the public should place a wager on. They focus on providing
good sports journalism, and they don’t allow gambling information to seep into
their sports coverage.

So, yeah, I can see why this is a problem, and it is definitely a conflict of interest.
Not only does he have access to talk to players and teams regarding games,
strategies, and player availability, which would give him a gambling advantage
over the public, he could use that information to sway or influence the public to
bet a specific way.
