They lost that battle and had to adapt. And they really had no choice at that point but to get involved with the apps and share data and trends try to keep tabs on what their players were up to. Players getting caught is that system working. And there was always going to be players who got caught. I'm sure there's many more who aren't. But they have to catch enough to deter.

Not sure it is as many as you think.
One thing most people don't realize is there are pretty low limits on how much you can bet on these props through legalized online books. I'm talking the most is $50-100. Even spread, total, and money line bets will have low enough limits not to make cheating worthwhile.
I suspect it boils down to stupidity more than anything.
