B. Male and female athletes gamble at the same rate.
C. Nonathletes use bookies more than athletes do.
D. Students who gamble do not drink as much as other students.

Answer 1

The answer is C, Non-athletes use bookies more than athletes do.

Step-by-step explanation:

Bookies are the agents, people or system used in receiving payment in exchange of a gaming odd. They are also the one that pay out winnings to games and sports. The mentality of a bookie is to bring more money in more than the rate money is going out.

Now, referring back to the question, athletes are not allowed to bet according to the act and code of conduct of the regulating body to avoid athletes influencing the games or odds of a game.

That leaves us with the non-athletes being the one place all the bet and gambles in a sport. making "C" the right answer.

Answer 2

Which of the following is true about gambling and sport?

C. Nonathletes use bookies more than athletes do.

Step-by-step explanation:

This statement is true across official sport bodies like the NBA, NFL, FIFA etc. because it is established that players are not allowed to bet on games.

This happens to protect the integrity and fairness of sport because if players are allowed to bet, many would go out of their way to influence the outcomes of games and this, in turn, would not show the sport in good light.
