Could somebody explain to me why supposedly rational people burn their money betting?
45 million unemployed. People denied necessary medical treatment because they can’t afford copays. People losing houses, businesses & life savings.
But yeah, go ahead & demonstrate how incredibly stupid you are.
Why do people still devote time energy & burn money on teams who hate them?

Are you sure you are in the right place, noob?

We usually don’t question how someone else chooses to spend THEIR OWN MONEY, or discuss how evil that is because people don’t have health care.

He’s not burning money, he is willingly redirecting it.

Was that a question or the sound of a soapbox being stepped upon?

Not that I’m a betting man... It’s a fools game.

If someone is worth many millions of dollars, why not bet a couple million in order to enjoy a Sunday rooting for a number of things to happen? This guy betting $2 million is probably the same as me gambling a couple hundred. Not going to miss it if I lose it all.
