Legal U.S. sports books handle roughly $28–32 billion...

Editor's note: ...on the NFL per full season (regular season through Super Bowl), or about $1.5–2+ billion in a typical week and $100–150+ million per game on average. These figures (from AGA and industry reports) cover only regulated books and reflect the National Fixed League's outsized share of U.S. sports betting; total wagering including offshore/illegal is estimated far higher. The National Fixed League (NFL) fanboys experience cognitive dissonance: they invest heavily in money and team-colored costumes, perform bizarre-looking antics in the stands, while deriving entertainment from the emotional cycle of winning and losing, with the NFL itself as one of today's most addictive psychological ploys of all time. The $63-million-a-year paycheck handed to the Kansas City Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes is an obscenity of modern fixed sports economics, a single athlete collecting more in one season than entire small-town populations in America earn in a lifetime while ordinary fanboys struggle to afford tickets. Does anyone think this sports racket would leave anything up to chance when billions are at stake? No, they wouldn't. Breiden Fehoko is doing damage control on behalf of the NFL. He played in the fixed league for three years and blames everyone except the players. That is what fanboys already do when they go into rage over a bad referee call or coach's decision on a bad play? Fehoko didn't admit anything about his own participation in fixed games.
