[option]"Letting athletes place sports bets makes as much sense as letting politicians use the stock market," queries nosy investigative sports journalist @@RANDOMNAME_1@@ while scrutinizing your personal files. "Let's say a player has placed a bet against his own side. What's stopping them from playing terribly in an attempt to sabotage his own team while simultaneously benefitting financially if the bet succeeds? My investigations have exposed hundreds of players who collectively have placed millions of @@CURRENCYPLURAL@@ in sports bets. Even coaches, managers, referees, and backroom staff are actively involved in this grift! We need to ban anyone in the sports industry to engage in sports betting and promote fair play, decency, and sportsmanship."

[option]"Come on, man! I didn't do anything wrong, and I certainly don't ever want to sabotage my own team," retorts @@RANDOMMALENAME_1@@ as he continues to place bets on BetKings. "I have committed over 20 years of hard work and torture into perfecting my craft and I'm being punished for having a little fun? My teammates and I love to play fantasy games and there's no harm in placing a fiver on an underdog willing his team to victory. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to double or nothing my current bets for a chance to win a million @@CURRENCY@@ prize!"

[option]"Gambling is a sin, and the entire practice must be outlawed!" shouts @@RANDOMNAME_2@@, the head of anti-gambling group Concerned Citizens Against Gambling. "Every day, I hear stories of people gambling away their entire life savings in some shady casino, ruining the lives of themselves and their family. Let's call it like it is: gambling and betting is a plague infecting @@DEMONYMADJECTIVE@@ minds. We must ban all casinos, punish the executives of this mob, and give people the help and support to rid them of this virus!"

[option]"You know what, this issue has got me thinking," inquires @@RANDOMNAME_3@@, CEO of Augustus Sportsbook. "Sports is a form of entertainment. People watch it to have fun in their dull lives. Why don't we raise the stakes? Enable every athlete to receive free bets! Give promotions and incentives for people to sign up and bet on games! Allow children to bet their allowances on their favorite sports teams! It will be grand, and you can bet on my plans to succeed and take over @@NAME@@! All you have to do is give our industry more government support and a small deposit of a million @@CURRENCYPLURAL@@!"
