I was shocked when I started seeing online sportsbook commercials, like how is this legal?, now I just try and ignore it but I usually see at least one ad everyday

Sports betting became legal at the same moment that sports networks started running way more ads during games. It's unavoidable now.

Protecting addicts and young people (who are being advertised to for years as impressionable minors) from companies designed to extract as much money as possible from them is absolutely worth inconveniencing people who casually gamble. Sports gambling remaining legal in casinos but banned via phone allows adults to partake while removing the predatory element of being literally ever-present for someone who needs to stay away. Losing thousands of dollars to sports gambling should never be just a download away.@@eliw6607

Online sports gaming scares me to death. And that "dorm room degenerate" guy who claims to be like a "financial advisor"? Shame on him. I've never had a desire to gamble and never had an issue, but I was married to (and divorced) a person who had a gambling addiction and that was scary. The thought that he can now go on his phone and gamble means he has no chance of overcoming his addiction. It's just too easy to place bets. One thing I HATE is that celebrities are now promoting sports betting online--shame on them!

I do not gamble, but have many friends that do. With the high cost of living, career disapointment and overall debt that young people are in, I think overspending on stuff like this is going to be a ticking time bomb. Obviously people can spend their money on what they want, but those quick dopamine hits can become really tough to walk away from. I'm not sure what the fix is going to be, but curious to see what is going to happen in the next ten years.

Gambling should be taught in schools. Not how to win but the psychological tricks casinos use to make you carry on betting. While as for sports betting they should be taught why exactly it’s so hard to profit from long term and why simply having a lot of sports knowledge isn’t enough. Aside from that I wish gamblers were more aware that long term markets aren’t addictive.

Looking at the way things are with gambling and marketing industries,TikTok, disinformation and verbatage on the television and internet. I've come to think basic human psychology should be a mandatory lesson because it's been used against us everywhere, everyday even the designs of our buildings and cities are to manipulate us psychologically but most people haven't got any understanding of Human behaviour and we're growing up in a world that tells us we're rational thinking machines with an integral uniqueness that means they are of, but distinct from Humanity, when we're more like emotional reaction machines with a shared set of standard operating apis.

Legalized sports betting is more dangerous than legalized prostitution. Sports betting is the most dangerous “sin” activity that has been legalized. Sports betting is far more dangerous and addictive than, say, legalized marijuana. In five to ten years, once governments have become accustomed to pot and gambling income, what will be next? It probably won’t be prostitution because that’s a highly personalized service big corporations can’t sink their talons into.

It's possible he did win that. When you're so far into a gambling mindset it can be hard to spend money on anything not strictly necessary because you can begin to view money as merely tokens for future gambling.

The truth is, is to reclaim the money that’s given to individuals that are on social assistance and social security. That means the gambler in those circumstances on average will lose at least half of the income from the government. It also applies to all in general, makes you poor and indebted for ever.
