Poor people

“Bet $5 get $250 in free bets if you lose!”

Shit is predatory as hell and is trying to get folks addicted.

For now. The gap is shrinking YoY at an alarming rate. Sports gambling has been growing over 10% annually for a few years now.

Wait, that sounds like a pretty sweet deal...

pete_the_cat,

Lots of people. Probably the same people that play Fantasy Football.

People will literally gamble on anything.

Socsa,

Fantasy football is literally a 20 year plan to create a childhood gambling pipeline, which they finally pulled off with the recent rounds of regulatory capture.

pete_the_cat,

Apparently it’s been a thing since the 50s, I only remember hearing about it about 15 years ago.

Bet.

wait no

wildginger,

Gambling on sports is one of the oldest types of gambling.

And, look. If you have the cash to spare, and gambling isnt a vice for you, it is kinda fun. Thats kinda the problem, its easy for the average person to get into it with some friends as a way to have more fun watching the game only for that to be the first domino.

It is an unbelievably massive, multi-billion dollar industry that is rapidly growing in the US right now. A number of states have relaxed their laws about online gambling and sports books, we are going to see a whole new generation of addicts. Every single fraternity at American universities has a point person at this stage. Many did prior they just did it on the sly.

Caesars Sportsbook just bought the sponsorship for the NFL stadium out from Mercedes in my city. You cannot go a quarter-mile without seeing a billboard about it. YouTube is flooded with it if it detects I’m in my home state. It’s relentless now. And if it’s not Caesar’s palace bombing me with ads, it’s draft kings.

FlexibleToast,

A lot of sports fans do, and then statisticians take them to the bank.

I get why we want to get away from that dumbass(heh) that’s the normal part of this meme?

But Red would give zero fucks about gambling.

Red would however call you a dumbass for enabling people’s gambling problems

EdibleFriend,
@EdibleFriend@lemmy.world avatar

If Red met me his brain would literally explode because of all the different fucking reasons to call me a dumbass.

papalonian,

I think he would call you a dumbass for getting into gambling, but would view someone running the business as just a businessman. He may be wary of the gang associating with him but I don’t think he’d view him as a bad dude

sports Gambling shouldn’t be advertised on tv

FTFY

RQG,
@RQG@lemmy.world avatar

Hey we have a law for that in our country. There are some exceptions but those have to be individually permitted.

That being said fantasy sports bets and some other gambling games try to dodge the classification as a gambling game.

wreckedcarzz,
@wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world avatar

everything shouldn’t be advertised*

ftfy

flerp,

There should be one specific place where advertisements are allowed and contained. If you need X, go to the X page on the one place for advertising and check out your options. No more shoving things people don’t need down their throats. Make people seek out the things they need rather than be convinced they need what they don’t.

starman2112,

I’m okay with advertisements in things like television. Ad supported media is one thing, ad supported real estate needs to burn to the ground

I actually don’t (well, didn’t) mind advertising, to an extent.

I liked seeing what new products or services are out there, or deals I may have not known about otherwise; but advertisers have taken it so far that you can’t have a reasonable amount anymore. You either block it all or get bombarded relentlessly.

I wouldn’t even use an ad blocker if the ads weren’t disrupting the content I’m actually here to see. YouTube for example was fine when it just had banner ads around the video player; as soon as they started forcing you to watch video ads to be able to watch the actual video you came there for is when it became a problem to me.

Gave em an inch and they took a mile. Now they get nothing.

captainlezbian,

Yeah I don’t mind phone website ads that are just in the middle of content, but no you’re playing video ads which fuck with my hearing aids while taking up a third of my screen in scrolling. Fuck you no

Ackshually, with only a few exceptions – and contrary to popular belief-- bats aren’t blind and most see quite well with their eyes. Like and subscribe for more bat facts.

lugal,

Ackshually this has nothing to do with the meme which is about eco location as in they “see” perfectly at night

Fuck_u_spez_,

Ackshually… that’s probably true, but can the average country singer echolocate with or without their eyes closed? I think not. Checkmate, atheists.

Viking_Hippie,

Gotta love them bat facts! I hope the next one is something surprising about guano!

Fuck_u_spez_,

Did you know that guano can act as fertilizer and has natural antifungal properties? Historically, it has also been sought as a source of nitrates in gunpowder and other explosives, and even had an important cameo in an Ace Ventura movie.

Viking_Hippie,

I only knew parts of that! Thanks, bat-man!

lauha,

Actually, contrary to popular belief, the cats’ vision is way worse than humans. They have better night vision but over all it is worse.
