sometimes I think about how in like two years there’s gonna be a ton of award-winning journalism about all the lives that have been ravaged by sports gambling and all the companies that knew and kept going and nothing will change because we’ve stopped trying to make things better in this country

I proposed a bet with my brother about how many decades we'd spend talking about the "gambling crisis" before doing anything but then we both got too depressed to follow through

I don't know- my great uncle was Pete Rose's bookie and things turned out okay for him. Pete Rose's has made an industry of not shutting the fuck up about betting on baseball, so, he's probably doing better than if he didn't. (He'd just be any ol'aging baseball player at this point otherwise.)

The journalism will be about how much money all the sports gambling companies are making.

There are lots of adverts for gambling when you watch free mainstream watch on demand in the UK. I find it ireesponsible given how expensive the cost of living is getting and I'm surprised that they are allowed to do it.

not that it was ever a good thing but we've definitely left the era where the press would give professional athletes guff for not being perfect role models. gambling is just part of it all now lol

It's going to be real bad in the short term mostly because we've gone from 0 to 100 so quickly. Most of the world has had moderate sports gambling for generations so people understand the bad bets and avoid them. We've got people learning about prop bets and parlays as they are placing their bets

That's not true! We remain firmly dedicated to making the world better for the few hundred people who already have everything. And Donald Trump.

Look up for the situation in Brazil someday. It was illegal until 2018, now sports gambling companies are the major sponsors of everything and the biggest advertisers in all media.

Amazingly, some universities actually reversed course in their promotion of sports betting among students after all the criticism they faced following this reporting. Not enough, but some. www.nytimes.com/2022/11/20/b...
