4. How Much Money Would Be Involved In Microbetting?

And, wouldn't something like this be all cash?
I'm not absolving him, I just don't see this as anything but small change.
Obviously, you & I don't know exactly what triggers the flag for this betting integrity thing, but it might be some multiple of normal wagering, but 5x small change is still small change.
I guess I have a hard tine believing there are millions bet on whether a pitcher throws a first pitch strike or ball.
It occurs to me that sharps might have numbers showing he misses the strikezone more often in certain situations. That might mean he's not involved at all but is just a pitcher with poor control.
I guess we'll see.
