Does the standard contract a professional athlete signs prevent him/her from gambling on any sport?

My freshman year, I was a student-athlete (NCAA Division I, in a conference that does not provide athletic scholarships). One of the (many) documents we had to sign was one pledging that we would not bet on ANY sport--including things like horse racing and jai alai that had nothing to do with the individual sport we were playing. I wouldn't be surprised if a standard NHL/NBA/NFL/MLB contract had a similar clause.
