Let me just say... I agree wholeheartedly. Prop bets, parlays, you name it. It is GAMBLING, GAMBLING, GAMBLING. Win or lose who cares as long as your bets are covered?! Already border-line players have run afoul of gambling. It is unavoidable that it will continue.

“I’m sorry to sound like a prude, but gambling is a vice that can ruin one’s life..”

Degenerate gamblers have every right to destroy their miserable lives.

The elections are rigged, the judicial system is rigged, why not sports?

Professional sports have always been tied to illegal gambling. Since such sports have fallen so far, they can’t survive without legalized gambling.

You’d have A LOT fewer sports if gambling didn’t exist.

Gambling giveth and Gambling taketh away. Blessed be the name of Gambling.

I don’t even watch sports, much less bet on anything. I just don’t get it.

Let’s be clear: gambling (“Gaming,” as the degenerates like to call it,) runs pro sports and NCAA big time college football. .They control the tv access, soaking the addicts who absolutely have to watch, and will pay obscene prices for the privilege; they control the “competition committees” who keep diddling the rules to generate higher scores, more “action” for the bettors, and make the games more susceptible to the judgment calls of the “officials.”

If sports didn’t exist, people would gamble on something else. I remember my dad gambling on the daily stock market results. I don’t get it - I have no desire to gamble. I’ve never even put a dime on the lottery.

It’s a long list of things that have contributed to the ruination of sports.
Gambling is a big reason.
Other reasons include extremely high prices for everything, no more amateurs everyone’s getting paid now, idiot drunken fans/criminals at the games, taxpayers funding billionaires’ stadiums, dumbing down of the rules, idiot zebras that are blind and dumb.

When I find myself agreeing with Bill Bradley, the guy that saw to it being banned despite it being legal in almost the entire rest of the world-I know that I need to rethink things.

I’m watching the Rangers/Panthers game last night and the graphics being shown on the ice and boards were for draft kings. Just another way to destroy the American fabric.
