    Yeah I really couldn't give less of a fuck about how many first half solo tackles a particular player has. It's made sports way worse for the people who don't care about gambling

    This is what a lot of the old traditional TV folks wanted. SVP used to complain all the time about how we're all adults and it's dumb that you can't really talk gambling even while he was doing his picks every week and his Bad Beats segment. This is how it was always going to go once they opened it up, unfortunately.

    The guy who is a millionaire and can afford to take virtually any loss championing betting isn’t great.

    I did not say it was great. I do not gamble and think all of it is stupid.

    You’re good wasn’t being a dick I just wish these things were acknowledged. In different contexts these things would be viewed differently.

    Doesn't feel like it's always been like this where everything is a scam. It sucks!

    Same with the Pistons. And they promote in game odds and stuff throughout the game with updated stuff at the start of quarters with various graphics. And that's while I'm paying $20 a month to watch it because they suck and aren't on any cable/streaming packages.

    It’s made sports way worse for everybody but degenerates.

    Spreads and totals pregame with your buddies? For sure.

    Live line the favorite if an underdog gets out to a quick lead. Yeah sometimes

    Aaron Judge to hit a home run, Aaron Boone to yell and point at the ump in the 7th inning or later, and Carlos Rodon to record over 5.5 strikeouts ODDS BOOSTED +175. FOH. Who even cares enough to think about that, other than the people they are intentionally trying to addict to the most house favorable bets available and unfortunately have no idea they are in fact that the sucker on this whole thing.
