I believe team gets a huge pay when a sportsbook becomes a sponsor.
Isn’t it kinda suspicious when a team is directly sponsored by a sportsbook?
From a gambler's perspective when trying to lay a finger on how these partnerships and sponsorships between soortbooks and sports team but it's not always officially in the direction some of us might be speculating it that these partnerships could influence certain outcomes in the teams games in favour of the soortbooks.
It shouldn't slip our minds that these games in the league where these teams play are officially monitored, organized and regulated by an independent body like the FIFA or UEFA who are with no membership or affiliation with these teams or brands.
