Summary
WNBA players Angel Reese and Paige Bueckers made a bet on the outcome of the All-Star Game, which is a violation of the league’s gambling policy. However, they were not punished by the WNBA. Caitlin Clark also made a bet, but it did not involve “anything of value” and therefore did not violate the rules. Clark’s bet was to drink a shot of alcohol for every 4-point shot made during the game.
Our Reading
The habit gets a new name.
WNBA players make bets, and the league looks the other way. Angel Reese and Paige Bueckers bet money on the All-Star Game, a clear violation of the rules. Caitlin Clark bets shots, but it’s okay because it’s not “anything of value.” The WNBA’s gambling policy is clear, but enforcement is another story.
The routine arrives with confidence: the WNBA promotes a friendly wager between players, despite it being a violation of their own rules.
