      Gambling and sports betting have always been out there. The legalization of sports betting throughout the United States was huge because for years we had to bet through offshore books that would do whatever it took to not pay you if you won too much. Gen Z is getting a rude awakening because they're novices and don't know how to make sports betting profitable.

    Business know how to cash in on addictions. Didn’t we learn from tobacco, alcohol and opioids? You can’t rely on any kind of morality from these businesses. They will take advantage of consumers however they can. And I would even say the celebrities who were paid to advertise are also responsible.

    This is an amazing segment. I live in Texas and I play sports props just about every night. I play thru about $10 per week just for fun, and to see if I can hit a $100 play using like $5 every now and then. I thought about how much money these companies are making and googled it because it has to be a fortune. Each sportsbook makes millions per day since the prop makers and companies have inside info on each player that you can bet on. They make the betting lines so perfect.
    Ex: LeBron James points prop will be 26.5. So if you bet the over, he has to have 27 points or more in the game. If you bet the under, he has to have less than 27. Often times, the player will score 26 or 28, just barely losing a majority of people’s bets. The amount of bets that are lost that close would shock you.

I think money can be made with betting if you always think “what is the best result for the bookies”? With the NBA finals coming up you could assume that the Celtics might get it done in 5 or maybe even a sweep. But that would prevent the bookies the chance to make so much more money if the series went to 7 games.

      If our society did not force those who make good decisions to pay for those who make bad decisions, that would work. But, it does work that way, so forcing morality rules onto the public is the only way to counteract that. It shouldn't be that way; anyone should be able to do anything they want to themselves as long as it does not affect anyone else. Unfortunately, our society is built so that the decisions of others always affect everyone else.

    However sceptical one is (that doctors need disease in order to have someone to cure, that lawyers need to chase ambulances to feed their case load, that technical obsolescence is the manufacturer's repeat business), what does this industry ... industry? ... what does it produce? Okay, there are winners and losers, and the house is the biggest winner. That's when the game is even being played fairly; yet so many are thrown or manipulated by the players themselves. Not even always because they want to, but because young players are told "It's the *smart* way to play." You're not even betting on who you think will win, but on who you think is less or more likely to throw the game.

    Hi to all the Americans reading this. I’m a British professional gambler.
    I have the best gambling tip you’re ever going to get.
    No it’s not don’t gamble. It’s to only ever bet on futures.
    But not before the season has started. In fact not until the second half of the season.
    And then build up a portfolio of bets.
    Now comes the bit that you’re not going to take seriously.
    You should bet them in parlays!
    As long as the stakes are small and you’re betting on teams that are already doing very well you can build up positions strong enough to hedge at the end.
    I describe myself as lifelongloser and I’m not joking. However it was because I’m a loser that I discovered this.
    It all started when I was living above a betting shop in 1997 and locked myself out.
    Since then I’ve turned over millions.

    Sportbooks and casino make eager use of the weak mental condition/discipline of the vast majority of the population. This of course also applies to tobacco and alcohol companies which a lot of people know the danger of. It seems as if sports betting is still seen as innocent for a lot of people.

    You have to loose in order for someone to gain. My little cousin thinks this is cool and I make him feel really dumb for doing it. Smh im glad to see there are other people that can see the deception. Hopefully more people wake up to the bs.

      I call BS on that too. This whole thing was biased. Focused on one extreme case with the lady, all the talking heads againsts, and surprise questions to spokesman's like gronk or company executives. If someone cold called me I'd hang up too. Go thru the right channels don't just call out of the blue. Where's the interviews of state program's that now have more money to fund their work because of the new tax revenue? Where's the interviews with the people who avoided over betting because of the guardrails the company's put on their app? Etc, etc,. Biased, biased, biased. Like everything on tv is.

    People joke about how dumb gronk is. But that was actually a very good answer LOL i know he was media trained for that, but his answer was sooooo good LOL DID NOT EXPECT THAT. I don't endorse gambling i think it is awful and it will be/is the next health crisis and will only increase depression, suicide, and illicit drug use. But as a long time football fan that answer by Gronk was legendary LOL

    • @peterpeter8217

      I understand your point of view as a pro sports bettor / casino gambler myself but it's just 3% who can achieve making profit in the long run. Not even talking about making enough to go pro. Also if u are a long term winner at 'soft' bookies like Draft Kings, they will give u a personal limit ( 2 or 5 bucks max per bet ) and they will be worthless to use. Pro sports bettors betting in gamble shops ( like in Vegas ) or like me at sports exchange like Betfair or a couple Asian bookmakers out there who do not limit players. I do it via a sportsbroker ( which are not allowed in the US ). Agree with you that they should also interviewd somebody who is a pro and can tell people watching this how it really works etc...

      Legal gambling revenue across Africa has almost tripled in the past decade, to $7.3 billion, according to research house H2 Gambling Capital. Although the continent's betting market is only about half as big as Germany's, gambling represents a growing-and worrisome-share of many economies. In Rwanda, for instance, it equals 0.59% of gross domestic product-about double the level in Germany.

      Sports betting has, until 2018, been mostly illegal. It was an illegal thing turned into a legal thing.

You are a degenerate if you lose 50,000 gambling like the guy in this video. When do you think to stop? Ridiculous

      Your neighbor going into debt affects the whole neighborhood. If enough people lose their money to gambling, it stops becoming an individual problem and starts becoming everyone's problem. I don't blame the government for trying to prevent people from financial disaster, especially when the economy sucks as much as it does.
