It sucks. Life was so much better back in the days when all this degenerate gambler shit was confined to Vegas or dealing with mob bookies.

Opening up sports wagering to the masses has ruined sports gambling.
Now its just a license to take peoples money. The industry doesn't need to worry about pay outs and competitive lines if there are millions of idiots out there to nickel and dime every day of the week. I have basically quit gambling because the lines are a joke. The odds are so stacked against you. |

These are the ****ing golden days for sports betting. Every provider is in a land grab mode so they’re handing out money like it’s nothing. In 5-10 years there will only be 4-5 providers nationwide. Then they will have less incentive to offer promos or advertise their service.

I don't gamble but seeing the spreads and over/unders are interesting to see.

I’m the same. Of course you could check those even before gambling started going legal.

I’m voting no only because the games were rigged before gambling was so public.

No issue with gambling but have an issue with NFL and other leagues partnering up with gambling sites/companies.

I've always enjoyed casual betting, but I find the commercials so annoying it's just not something I give a shit about anymore and most of the people who insist on talking about it are reaching douche level.
I really don't like what it has done to several sports fans I know. They're no longer sports fans. They're degenerate thrill chasers using whatever random parlay or stack they can find to get their fix. They were all crying about Reek standing on the sidelines because it's ****ing up their stack. They don't care about him, they don't care about his team, they don't even care about the NFL anymore. They've devolved into just betting on some random shit that might happen and looking up the results to see if if happened. They might as well go bet on random rat races, pull slots, or play bingo. |

I don't have a problem with people gambling That's their business. I have a problem with is when people lose all their money going to hock and then expect society to bail them out. I mean I take risks like everybody else but I don't gamble money. And I think you also have to be a little bit naive to think that it doesn't manipulate sports leagues.
