I dabble myself, but our society is reaching a tipping point. Walk into a bar last night and soon as we sat down this 60 year old lady behind the bar shows us her parlay on her phone, “Hey guys what do you think! I need Mccaffrey and Kittle to score and blah blah blah”

Then other people start yelling what they need to happen in the game. Theres nothing wrong with it, do whatever you want with your money, I just think its getting fawkin ridiculous.
Is this everywhere or just the degenerate circles and places that I frequent?

I see America has caught up with us on this. Wasn't it until recently you couldn't bet online? There's now a push back here as people get addicted and kill themselves and with weak powers to curb betting the companies prey on obviously problem gamblers.

I think the highest paid CEO in the country is on a sports betting business. It's huge money.

Are we supposed to know where you're from? Where do you live, character? Is sports betting legal in UK?

I watched a video on this the other day. Apparently, the explosion of sports betting was due to a Supreme Court case where they determined fantasy sports isn't considered gambling. Of course this was just guys playing/betting on fantasy sports back then. But sites like FanDuels and DraftKings took that interpretation to the nth degree.

Australians have had legalized gambling for a while now. They have a huge gambling problem as over 35% of all Australians gamble regularly. Around 8% of them are labeled as addicts.


Americans are already addicted to porn, food, drugs, and God know what else. Gambling used to be somewhat controlled since you actually had to drive to a casino to piss away your money. Now with phone apps, it's easier for anyone to get addicted to gambling.

Just make online poker legal again for fuck’s sake.

The first and largest sportsbooks in the UK were owned by Israelis. Pretty much all of the largest gambling operations in the UK are owned by kikes who purchased peerages and lordships. Sports gambling in the UK was designed so that countries in Europe that outlawed gambling could just have its citizens play online the UK while ignoring their local laws. Just like Vegas in America is dominated by kikes they have the same thing in England as well.

Nearly every high street or strip mall has a sports betting operation. They are advertising nonstop on every single TV show and online. And pretty much every sports league or team has their own gambling sponsor. Sports betting does nothing but create addiction and remove money from circulation into the hands of a bunch of criminals.

Pretty much every sport is ruined by gambling now. Point shaving is back in a huge way. People are rigging UFC and boxing fights pretty much openly at this point. The chinks have infiltrated lots of niche sports to try to make money throwing matches and have just basically blown up their entry into professional snooker.

I love to bet on sports but I refuse to get any sports betting app and physically go to a casino to place my sports bets. Luckily there’s a racetrack casino about 15 minutes from me so it’s not bad, I just know if I could make bets from my phone I would go broke. Physically having to go and place bets makes it real, when you’re just paying through your phone it doesn’t seem real

Any proof of this? Even in todays mobile gambling world, any number of people betting the same thing and winning in the same place prompts an immediate investigation. As soon as bookies start to lose money in a slightly irregular way, its obvious somethings up.
Im not saying it cant be happening right now, but its way harder to pull off than people think.

Whatever the balance is in my sportsbook account I’m putting it all on Buffalo tomorrow night. Take it to the bank.
I totally agree, Buffalo should easily slaughter the hapless Dolphins with ease. The thing is, though, that sometimes the plays that look way too good to be true end up backfiring unexpectedly. If I had to take a guess, I'd say 31-3 sounds about right, but it wouldn't especially amaze me if somehow Miami mysteriously hangs in there and covers, either. If I had to bet, fuck yeah I'm betting the Bills, but I've seen this happen before.

I would bet the Bills as well, but they’re also saying a foot of snow will accumulate during the game which makes it way more interesting
