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.

Americans HAVE BEEN doing that shite a long time.

every hands a winner
And every hands a loser
The best that you can hope for
Is to die in your sleep

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.

It’s their money to do with as they please

only 2-5% of sports bettors are profitable. alot of people are hooked on this and never win and just throw money away.
whats crazy also is once you start winning the sportsbooks block you or limit you.so you basically cant win.

Elon says money won't matter by 2036 anyway.

I quit sports gambling or any gambling really. I suck at it. But this new gambling craze will put many on the street

Never bet on sports, everyone knows the powerball is the best investment.

Sure but it's never been this easy.
You either had to go out of state (generally speaking) or find a bookie.
Now it's relentlessly advertised directly to you and all the barriers have been removed.

That’s your reasoning lol
But with those choices you are in control of the meal or restaurant or even streaming services
To each their own
