It is possible they dont know this stuff. For example I personally dont care about sports betting and there are a lot of terms and methodology I dont even understand, let alone the actual numbers. Maybe the refs are also thinking if I look too closely at this stuff Im going to lose my job and block it out

Refs and everyone following sports closely definitely know about everything.

But they should be investigated, no reason not to. Some refs absolutely could be gambling and thats the only way to know

And yet nothing happened.
Refs in the NBA are their own union and noone can do shit to them.
I'm not talking about betting, but in general.
Much like players, some refs are better and more talented than others, while some are just incompetent and their mistakes are a product of them not being good enough.
Unlike most other sports, the league has no power to remove those refs and we have to watch them make it all about themselves game in and game out.
