Maybe stories like this contributed to our ancestors making sports and other gambling illegal.

Why do you think this was illegal until a few years ago?

I don't get it.

I get just as much fun and entertainment out of betting 5 bucks on a game as I do betting 100 bucks on a game.

I even enjoy betting one measly dollar on a game.

No need to bet much.

Isn’t Tim Chalomet doing ads for Kalshi now? The legitimizing of betting on everything is pretty out of hand.

Glad all this wasn’t around when I was in college.

I guess that I assumed something like this might be the case on a general scale. I have several friends that play regularly and feels like it could be gradually forming into an epidemic.

Don't blame car companies for overpriced vehicles. Blame mentally fat people for paying for that shite.

I tried playing in these contest picking against the spread (no money involved). It’s extremely difficult. The season’s winner usually averaged 11-9. No way I would bet big money weekly.
