How is that different from any other state?
I have heard many names that were involved and then found out those individuals weren't involved. So for people to be naming names they must've been told by those individuals or family members. Or they're just posting rumors without verifying anything
Posting rumors? Say it ain’t so.
Not sure, I was responding to El Dub when he mentioned the athletes were all male and wondering if maybe sports betting was more men than women. I think so. I think women seem to love the slots. Since I live in Pa. I am relaying what I see. And I do not see many women bet on sports, I cannot recall any other than my wife on a sports app and one time only.
She grew up in Tampa so signed up for a teaser bet, 55/1 to pick the winner, she won $275 lol. Well we both did that day.
Men and women have different levels of gambling involvement (Stoletenberg et al. 2007), with men having higher levels of engagement and problems than women (Stoletenberg et al. 2007).
In a national telephone survey examining the demographic patterns of gambling participation in the United States, men gambled more frequently and had higher losses and wins (Welte et al. 2004). Findings also indicated that 2.9 % of women were problem gamblers compared to 4.2 % of men. Winters et al. (1998) found that 91 % of college men and 84 % of college women reported engagement with gambling (gambling at least once during the prior 12 months period). Of these emerging adults who gambled, 14 % of men and 3 % of women gambled at problematic levels. Gender differences seem to occur as early as young adulthood, but little is known about the risk factors accounting for these differences in gambling involvement.
Examining Gender Differences for Gambling Engagement and Gambling Problems Among Emerging Adults
Gambling is fast becoming a public health problem in the United States, especially among emerging adults (18–25 year olds). Since 1995, rates have recently doubled with around 7–11 % of the emerging adult population having problems with ...

You are incorrect.
As @west2east and @rcamp67 noted yesterday, when the wagers took place is irrelevant. What matters is when it was reported, which the guidelines specifically say "reported on or after May 2." Iowa reported on or after May 2.
Rumor is loss of eligibility year and no post season so in essence a whole season ban for sports like wrestling
That sure is one hell of a rumor. I wouldn’t buy it.
What is the ratio of bad news rumors to good news rumors that one, such as yourself, typically hears and shares?
Not necessarily.
More than $800 gambled: Loss of 30% of eligibility, plus rules and prevention education. The NCAA stipulated that for cumulative wagering that "greatly" exceeds $800 could result in additional loss of eligibility.
It also states betting on your own games or on your schools games could be permanent loss of eligibility. So if the wrestlers or football players say bet on Iowa woman national championship game it could be season or career ending. Not saying they did just an example.
Nobody wants to hear that. Lol
When this rumor started flying in the beginning of May, betting the women’s basketball final 4 was attached to it.
So, I am still expecting the worst but hoping for the best with all of this. Hopefully those involved weren’t betting too much money.
Ha! That will be their RE-action, no doubt. But I’m guessing this is the wake up call. The reel question is his hard will they hammer this into athletes’ heads now?
Which unfortunately I believe was done with at least one of our wrestlers. He’s a big time name too. It’s hard to speculate on suspensions due to the newness of all this but I am now more worried than ever. It would be a shame if a 50 dollar bet on women’s bball ends a guys career.
Don’t you find it is odd only Iowa, and ISU.
No other schools involved.
No other schools involved.
Besides Iowa State and Iowa can you name any other D1 schools in the state? I guess UNI but who else?
that's one of the rumors floating around (that some of the 26 student athletes bet on the women's final 4 run)
the only individuals named so far have been the 4 Iowa baseball players, and that only came out when they were withheld from games
any other names being mentioned are rumors
I think we will all know soon enough. But he’s a big piece on our team.
Hell, if he’s a big piece of the team and just speculating who he is then maybe he’s a coach. I’ll be back in September.
Already said no coaches involved. Just one member of the athletic office, everyone else is an athlete.
I was being sarcastic. Wasn’t being sarcastic about seeing you in September.
it's been 2 months; you'd think the investigation would be complete, but who knows
studies show men gamble at more problematic levels than women
Well no shit they do. Men take more risks in general, since the days of the hunter gatherer’s.
I do not know how you could gamble yourself into debt when gambling on these fandual/ draftkings type sites. You withdraw money before hand from a debit account.
I guess the larger penalty betting on your own school’s team MAY have a bigger penalty because you MAY have insider info. I don’t think there were any players out, coming back from injury, etc that would lead to insider information. So hopefully even if they did bet on the Iowa women’s BB team, it would just be a normal penalty.
2 months is not much time at all in the legal system.
Not debt but savings can be wiped out. And a bettor can go from being up to losing their winnings. Either case can lead to desperation. The fact that one can’t directly go into debt gambling online doesn’t do much to alleviate the concerns.
Not that I necessarily agree with the rules.
Unless of course that the money in your debit account was needed to pay your actual bills, like rent/mortgage, utilities, food, etc. Get the point?
