Was debating this with friends...

Is it illegal for a professional athlete to play draft kings and bet on himself or his team to do well?

Googled it and found nothing specific... didn't know if the wealth of knowledge on TI could elaborate on this.

And I wouldn't say this is congruent to Pete Rose betting on baseball given the fact that a)it was his team and b) normal "gambling" involves point spreads or easily manipulated outcomes.

A Draft Kings approach would take out some of those possibilities....

Thoughts?
