No matter what they're all a racket where 99.9%+ of the "consumers" lose. Lotteries aren't called an idiot tax or considered a tax on the poor for no reason. The uneducated are disproportionately representative of people who waste money or even ruin their loves gambling. The people smart enough to win have better things to do with their time... and those not smart enough to realize how little they actually know are just... wheelbarrows of cash on the way in and empty wheelbarrows on the way out(or left crying on the floor of the bathroom stall until security escorts them out).

It is. I rarely gamble at home. I live on a busline that goes in front of the casino so there is no gas expense or risk of a fender bender or other accident. I like seeing fellow gamblers, the neon lights and jumbo TV, the comfortable seating and free soft drinks. It does give you time to change your mind about the team, or even stay on the bus and come back home. The published spread is NOT your friend, BTW. Never bet over my limit. Then It's fun.

Probably not too surprising but some of the biggest betting apps are also run by the biggest casino groups. Like, the video mentions MGM and Caesars, both of which happen to be among the biggest casino operators in Vegas. These apps are just the "digital transformation/expansion" of the betting industry.

Betting apps on phones is an absolute disaster and should not be legal. The ability to pull out your phone and impulsively gamble is obviously too much for people to handle, this one chick already lost like 400k on a phone app. Gambling is a known vice and known to be addictive since forever, that’s why it was illegal in the first place. All you’re seeing here is corruption and moral decay of the American people, and the crooks profiting off of misery laughing all the way to the bank.

Uhhh. Responsible gambling definitely is not a myth. There are plenty of people who go to the casino or bet on teams that do so well within their means, once in a while, just to have fun, and can control themselves when they lose.

@@michaelm.3641 It's not that nobody is capable of gambling responsibly, it's that when business interests and bought politicians talk about it, it is just a strategy to push responsibility onto society, despite being responsible for creating the problem in the first place. When we talk down to others for not gambling "responsibly" enough, we're buying the narrative and benefiting an industry which only exists to exploit. If people want to gamble responsibly on, good for them, but they should not defend the industry or judge others just because they've had a different experience.

So we should ban alcohol too. Responsible drinking is also a myth?

@@s2Capacidade2s What about cigarettes?

​​@@michaelm.3641You are wrong. There are extremely few, some exceptions. Traditionally many women fell into that category, but now Women are catching up too on addicted behaviours.

100%. I got hooked on daily fantasy, which becomes legal at 18, and is available in more states. The odds are also terrible and inexperienced bettors (kids) are more susceptible. If you’re in a state where daily fantasy is legal but not full on sportsbook gambling, the options are limited so you’re more willing to put up with the horrible prices.

And this is on top of loot boxes and virtual currency in actual video games intended for kids.

Plus so many parents & teens don't even realise gambling can actually impact brain development, being a teenager nowadays must be rough with so much heavily addictive sh*t around

​@lobachevscki for real. Blind micro transactions (loot boxes) are so so predatory and act as a gateway towards gambling. Some critics liken booster packs but those are a material good with minor resale value. Loot boxes get kids to accept a 100% total loss.

it's just how the tobacco industry advertised to kids. because they knew the earlier in life you develop a habit the harder it is to get rid of it later on.

​​@@TheVincentKyleand never gonna let you down

@@somerandometopiche may run around though

And hurt you

That sounds absolutely wild to me. Here, in Eastern Europe betting ads and sponsorships are legal, but I've never even seen sports commentators talk about gambling. Like, how much money are these gambling companies paying in order to supplant the actual sport people are trying to watch?

The most popular sports station here in Atlanta is owned by a gambling company...and they sponsor and cohost a number of youth-oriented events. Sickening.

On the other hand they stopped talking about sports 20 years ago. It really went from coverage of sports drama - you know ET for men - to whether the line should be -3.5 or -2.5. They do kind of have to talk about the game more now, to justify their view, so I am at peace with it because I am great at lowering my standards.

I guarantee that Tim Donaghy is the tip of the iceberg when it comes to gambling impacting sports. There is SO MUCH money on the line that the incentive for players, coaches, and refs to influence the outcome is overwhelming.

FACTS!. Podcast,show,tv show, sport broadcast. Fanduel...betcrit...ESPN Bet...Draftkings. Non stop betting now they can't even show stats without having odds and lines on the side. Heck sports shows now got 10+ minutes out of the 45 minutes shows being dedicated to read you the odds and line what you be betting on.

I hate it 😂

as someone inside the US, they're unfortunately worse than you think

When you're watching the sports pre-game shows, they are talking odds on the game and how you could bet on them and if you put $25 on this it'll be a $100 payout at these odds. It's fucking wild.

@@madlad4206Yeah! Screw consumer protection! Screw the consumer!

@@Summoningz consumer protection is for things out of your control. If you’re a degen gambler it’s upto you, not the gambling company

Consumer protection is to protect consumers from businesses committing fraud. There is no fraud in the gambling industry. It is exactly what it says it is. I enjoy gambling but I don’t gamble every day or every week. When I want to throw a bet on a game, I like knowing I’ll actually get paid if I win (something that wasn’t guaranteed pre-legalization). At the end of the day, lots of things in life can be addictive from smoking and drinking to gambling and video games. Banning them all is not the answer. At some point people have to be able to deal with the consequences of their actions. It’s not the government’s job to prevent that, it’s each person’s responsibility to not do stupid things. If you are struggling financially, don’t bet on games. If you can only afford to lose $20, don’t bet $5,000. It’s not that hard to regulate one’s own behavior. We are supposed to be adults…we don’t need the government to warn us that doing certain things might have consequences.

Yeah, regulated advertising like what Cigarettes have seems like a bare minimum. No bilboards. No celebrity endorsements. Whoever signs on to promote this stuff is a slime ball.

That seems more than fair. No billboards. No tv or radio ads during prime time. And no subsidized betting to get people in the door.

But if you gamble just one more time, you can get back everything you lost

But it also created a lot of gazillionares

@@squeeeps EXACTLY what we want you to think.... *evil laugh*

Yup. One doesn't have to be puritanical to think that maybe making sports betting a little bit difficult is a useful thing for most humans.

I’ve had too many instances where the last match ruins my parlays. One parlay got ruined when a team made a huge comeback and beat my team by one point with a few seconds remaining on the clock.

@@The-Illuminator-m5l its almost like the odds aren't in your favour 🤔

​@@The-Illuminator-m5l yeah parlays are side bets. Something you do for fun, the odds are not in your favor especially with 8 different bets that must all hit.

8 leg? Haha. Try 24 leg. I have a problem. An I am a sick puppy. I have multiple many legged single game parlays in action. Likely miss on them all. An hold myself alone tonight during the come down, an realization that I am a worthless mutt.

@@robessentially9682 😅 just out of curiosity, what's the payout on something like that?

I just think it’s nice to see the natural occurring world as he speaks of things that are happening in that exact same world, real-time.

You can pay the 28€ for 30€ of chips, get the free dinner, go through the entry chips at the blackjack table with optimal play once and lose on average less than the free 2€ you got at entry.

Someone can’t win a bet

I think if you set yourself limits like for example $100 a month it can be considered responsible.

I feel like there is people out there that could handle the idea of responsible gambling but I doubt it's that many. Then again, gambling sounds kinda wank.

You can do closed loop betting. I bet my brother that the chiefs win, he bets that the 49rs win. You can do that forever and as a family unit you will lose 0 money in the long term, it just makes the short term more exciting. But any time you introduce a 3rd party, that 3rd party has to profit, which means you're losing somehow.

yeah, how does the "tax revenue" argument make remotely any sense? if people didn't lose their money to gambling, they'd end up spend it on consumer goods and services that will get taxed.

Bigger chunk of the pie for the Gov't.. and the Corps@@DelusionalMoron

Revenue in this case is just sucked right out of the American people. Which the government does like to do

The math on these gambling sites is just the worst: you need enough people to lose so they can payout whoever wins AND take their cut. You can flat out ban them just on that premise cause you need more people fucked over to keep your business afloat. But when you add all the money in ads and sponsorship you realize HOW MUCH money they are actually making, which going back to the beginning reveals how many people lost their money to them

Lobbying is 100% the issue. How lobbying, AKA bribing, is even legal I will never understand. BAN LOBBYING!!!!

@@TheVincentKyle Thanks for the thoughtful comment! That’s a valid observation. I don’t know if this directly answers it… but the closest link I can think of is “hustle culture” in general. The idea of being some big shot hustling for money is attractive (especially to young guys). Gambling or not I agree it’s not healthy to obsess over work, making money, that sort of thing. Anything that can be used can also be abused! Have a good one

yeah my boss pays us early nearly every fortnight so he can recharge his account on sportsbet for the weekend...

There's a good reason it used to be illegal to advertise cigarettes alcohol pharmaceuticals and gambling on TV

It is still illegal in some states. What happened in 2015 was the federal government passed the issue on to states. Depending on the state you live in, it might still be illegal or might have only been legalized within the last year or two.

I thought you could always bet on sports honestly and fantasy football

I've been betting on sports for fifteen years and watching them my entire life. I recently won a millionaire maker contest on DraftKings, and I consistently win the sports wagers that I do place on the books. People who got into sports betting recently generally don't understand what they're doing, so a lot of them are losing money and developing addictions.

Gambling on sports has been a thing in the UK forever, and I don’t really see people being bombarded in conversations about their bets. Outside of horse racing that is, where gambling is the whole point.

Well, unfortunately for myself (an American male in my early 30's, which is the primary targeted demographic by the sports books) a conversation can happen like "I want team X to win" and have a common response of "I have money on team Y beating the spread" as a really generic example. Or I'll say "catch the game last night" and some people I know will talk about how close they were to hitting a parley on the game instead of talking about crazy plays. And it's not that you're bombarded by it, rather it's that it's so normalized that it is just accepted as part of the viewing and conversational experience, especially by those who do the gambling, even if you want literally no part to do with the gambling talk. Combine that with the delusion of an average American Sports fan, and Sports is no longer any fun to talk about with, especially in the 18-50 age range I fit into and am around pretty much every day.

Dan Toomey Mewing

And if you’re up you’re probably really good at this and should do it one more time to inevitably win even more

I can't tell if this is sarcasm or not (it probably is, but anyway). While that is technically true, it's also ironic because even if the time comes when the problem gambler wins back their losses, they'll just feel vindicated, and believe that their gambling is actually a good thing. So they keep betting more, until they finally dig themselves into a financial hole too deep to get out of.

Yeah, people don’t get into gambling because they have deeply researched the odds, they do it for the thrill.
