What would happen in the US if a player.......
Was caught betting on a game in his sport?

What do you think the penalty would be?

Incredibly frustrated with the half ass penalties handed down here and they wonder why it keeps happening.

Here is one of many recent examples.
Sure he bet very small, but thats not the point, its a serious breach of his contract. :

Heath Shaw suspended for eight weeks for betting on Collingwood game | Herald Sun

Rose bet when he was managing the Reds.

Hornung and Karros both bet on NFL games as players and were suspended for one year
