and mostly just since 2018 in the US. a lot of proles turned out to be degenerate gambling retards who are pulling from their actual savings just to lose at gambling, over and over again.

are they just blowing a hundred bucks here and there? you never see stories in the media about people ruining their lives with this, unless the NBC Evening News presented by Kalshi is suppressing these stories

tbf, this is money they're not spending on other forms of entertainment and consumerism. and sure money is fungible from a GDP viewpoint, but it ain't good for local economies. we want $100 bar tabs, not $100 draftkingz losses.

When proles discuss sports now, it's no longer in terms of "winning" and "losing" or playing a good game. A game is good or bad based on how it reflected various bets. They get pissed af now when their teams win, but "didn't cover the spread!" Or the team sucked because they failed to hit 3 field goals that game, but still won the game, etc.

this is a low iq, surface-level take. most ppl start out just risking their bonus money in small increments, investing very little initial capital. the current meta is to spin it up by hitting a yuge parlay. then, they have $5k-$10k to use on a more sustainable betting strategy. those who continue honing their craft can make $20k/yr sportsbetting part-time. not bad for less than the price of a night out at applebee's.

I know you’re trolling, but if you actually are a handicapping genius and beat the book, they’ll just throttle your account and only let you bet $10 a game. You literally can’t win cause if even if you do they just throw you out.

Professional sports shifting from opposing gambling despite it's profitability to aggressively promoting it is a window to how our society has become low-trust and hollowed out overall.
Next thing you're gonna tell me the sitting President rug pulled his biggest fans in a crypto scheme to enrich his family and pardoned crooks who helped enrich and protect him. Now that would just be crazy.
