Exactly. If the leagues start perceiving losses they’ll change the incentives.
Fans who don’t like gambling will presumably not like the equilibrium state though.
I mean, I'm sympathetic. I hated how online micro transactions turned my beloved NBA 2k into a loot box hell circa 2019, but I think they got the message and toned down some of that stuff. If gambling gets out of hand, the leagues are already sufficiently incentivized to respond. It feels like they're already on the cusp of that, with even a lot of players complaining about it. Just gotta avoid jumping the gun to government regulation as a solution

The problem is that there will almost certainly be a moral panic over this. Isn’t Congress already convening hearings about it?
