Brazil legislature seeks to restrict sports betting to only specific markets

A wider problem in Brazilian soccer that later spread to other leagues across the world was discovered by a few dubious wagers. For their involvement, several players have already been penalized, notably Marco Vinicius Alves Barreira, who was given a lifetime suspension. Players were willing to accept penalties in exchange for cash, according to the Maximum Penalty probe. A new measure in motion would prohibit almost all wagers, with the exception of bets on the results of games, to ensure that this cannot happen again.
 
I give kudos to Brazilian lawmakers in their attempts to sanitize the betting industry. Where there is no concrete legislation guiding sports betting, there would be lots of malpractices in the system.
That is the legislators have to wake up and pass a bill that is meant to safeguard the ethics of the sports betting in the country.
