What a stupid name. I know it's a gambling website (after looking it up), but still. The only way I'll tolerate more gambling crap is if they make it free. Not holding my breath, though.

Between sports networks and news networks, I miss having a handful of conglomerates and their limited choices rather than this sea of bullshit we are now swimming in...

Yea its getting harder to watch games not easier. A lot of good games this year have been on things called Fubo and Sling and I dont even know what they are. Espn+ on hulu has a lot of them so thats the main one for me.

I dunno, maybe it's just me, I pay $40 a month during the season, get to watch every game I want to, end of the season, cancel the all sports package, and rinse and repeat,
 
Bring back Prime Ticket, you bastards.

I hate that they are involved with sports books.

The constant sports betting ads and content being pushed down everyones throats is going to have disastrous results (it already has for many people). The leagues and teams have to know this, but they just don't care. It's like the bus ad I saw in LA last year that basically said "Having trouble paying your bills, try the lotto". It's disgraceful.

Get ready for ads like this...

"Jim in Long Beach turned $20 into $12k by hitting a 12 team parlay, you want to be the next Jim? Sign up at Fan Duel with promo code GoKingsGo and your first bets on us" They all push the parlays on their social medias and other ads because that is where the Grand Canyon sized margins are.

They went from having their heads buried in the sand and did the whole Casablanca "I'm shocked there is gambling in here", to openly pushing it non-stop.

Yea, it's a sports package up here, Rogers offers it, Canadian cable etc, it's easier than trying to screw around with anything else lol

Wait....are you saying 12 game parlays a suckers bet?

I mean, I get it, it's not a good precedent to set, but at some point, people are responsible for people, I'd hate to live in a world where we have to dumb everything down for the people who need instructions on shampoo.....we are getting dangerously close to that anyways.

All parlays are sucker bets, even almost all two-teamers. Teasers are a massive sucker bet, they aren't offering those things out of the goodness of their heart. I know you were being sarcastic, but there is data about just how much the books win on parlays is out there, it's astronomical. I have not bet anything more than a 2 team parlay in probably a decade.

And hey I agree with you on not wanting it to be stopped by a govt entity, I think many here know my ideological views are small government, anti-regulation, and government entities should be hands off of most things, this included.

I am coming at this from the angle that I think it's terrible for the leagues and teams to be pushing this on their customers, when they know the damage it is causing to many people, especially younger people. It's going to turn young people away from sports, and as the stories about people of all ages losing their homes etc. come out, there will be regulation (whether I agree or not) and the unlimited supply of money from places like FD will dry up, but the long-term consequences will remain.

Sports betting can be beat, but to do it you have to put in close to a full times job worth of time, you have to network with smart people, you have to shop lines, you have to find bonuses and rebates, you have to utilize software (especially for arbitrage), you have to have the discipline to not bet for the sake of betting (this gets me sometimes still), you have to deal with insane levels of variance, and you have to have the balls to not be afraid to absolutely hammer lines where the sportsbook is just waaaaaay off, (Illinois/Michigan and Pittsburgh/NY Jets games games this weekend, where bad teams were road favorites vs decent teams). Most people have trouble doing any single one of these things, much less being able to do all of them. And again, I think the leagues are well aware of these things, but they just don't care. I think sports gambling ads are more destructive to a most fans than alcohol, tobacco or weed ads.

Agree, gambling can be absolutely lethal, it's one of the reasons why as much as I loved living in Vegas, I won't go back. I know myself enough to know that I can get sucked in easily, so stay away etc. I do it for fun now, you think teasers are a trap?

Up here they have something called Single Game Parlays, for example, Buffalo game on Sunday, Bufffalo -9.5 plus Allen to throw for 200 plus yards, plus, Cook to score a TD gives you 5.25 odds, you can stack as many as you want to get the odds going, $5 to win $800,000 if your one in 20 trillion hits lol

Isn't online (or otherwise) sports gambling still outlawed in CA? Either way I won't go there, even with a sport I partially have knowledge of with hockey. Just seems like a bad idea and you'll end up like Sandler in Uncut Gems. Gambling just isn't it for me, the house always wins. f*** Bally's btw.
