The organization emphasized the negative effects on athletes&#8217; mental health and well-being.<\/p>\n<p>The following three concerns concerned game integrity, with the mention that the public and students in general can gain easy access to college athletes, which generates a higher risk of insider information being passed on. <\/p>\n<h2>Match-Fixing Risks <\/h2>\n<p>Another problem is the possibility that athletes may want to place bets on themselves or against themselves in case match-fixers convince them, through substantial amounts of money, to influence a game one way or another for betting purposes.<\/p>\n<p>The greater risk for college students to be addicted to betting on sports was another issue discussed by the NCAA. <\/p>\n<p>The body believes individual player prop bets are relevant for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/betting-opportunity\">in-game betting<\/a> and micro-betting, enabling people to place a large number of wagers in a more limited timeframe. <\/p>\n<p>While this is a concern that could be expressed about the entire population as a whole, college students are known to have more awareness and a higher attraction to prop bets on college players.<\/p>\n<p>Sports betting operators in the two affected states have already shown concern regarding the way the new measure will make their revenue drop. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summary: Ohio and Maryland have announced their decisions to prohibit college player prop bets.
