Here's the flaw in your argument: No one looks at Bob Kraft's investment in Draft Kings and thinks the Patriots are throwing games. (Granted, the way they've played these past few seasons could lead someone to reasonably conclude that, but in general it is not something people believe).Bob Kraft invested 400K in Draft Kings before gambling became legal in Taxachusetts and I bet the value of that investment has skyrocketed. We can only guess what impact he had over that by making the rules on the games being gambled on, but I'm sure it's significant.
But if a player gets involved in gambling, then it creates a situation where throwing games is very much in the realm of possibility.
