    Re: Bulldogs want 'catch-up footy'

    Why doesn't the league itself start its own gambling arm? By getting into the business of owning pokie venues themselves, and possibly running a betting + wagering arm that they could distribute the funds as they see fit. A subsidiary but owned by the league.

    ;-)

    Because the conflict of interest is astronomical.

    Isn't there a 'Doggies Bet' or some bollocks?

    It's just a subsidiary of a larger betting company. Has nothing to do with the club, so far as I can tell.

    Besides, the club doesn't make the rules, the league does, so the conflict of interest isn't quite as bad.

    Bad PR for the league.
