@createprince2093
it blows my mind that celebrities who already have more money than they could ever spend, who could be beyond picky about supporting only the products and causes they truly care about and believe in, agree to become the face of marketing for shit like this
@calvinsomers1197
It’s literally impossible for someone who wants to quit sports gambling to just sit back and enjoy watching the games without constantly being reminded of their temptation. It’s so cruel.

its so epic that if you simply buy enough cigars you can write your own laws

As an Australian who's seen gambling ruin countless lives, the idea of "responsible gambling" is a red herring and designed to blame the consumer for their supposed lack of self control. Lobbying and tax incentives means the US will put business before its citizens as usual so my advice would be to never start gambling in the first place as it will only cause pain and suffering in the long run.
@yawnberg
Something not addressed here and represents another huge hidden cost is how accessible (and attractive) sports betting has become for kids. It's so much more prevalent in high schools than parents realize and will have awful long term effects on a generation of kids already facing a lot of financial challenges.

Gambling should be like tobacco. Legal over 18, but completely illegal to advertise it anywhere, especially where kids would see it. You can ruin your life but nobody should be allowed to coerce you into it, especially corporations.

My biggest problem with sports gambling is how much worse it's made sports overall. Literally every single sports show, podcast, YouTube channel, etc. is now completely blanketed in sports gambling ads, and the "Odds" and "Lines" have insidiously wormed their way into the content itself, with hosts, commentators and pundits now spending half their time talking about betting, taking away time and focus from the sport their audiences actually care about.
@GoodWorkMB
We have now fully investigatified the gambling industry. What should we cover next? Also thank you to the man who sent us that mushroom tie <3
@shutterbird13
Thank you for highlighting the "waterboarding" approach to advertising. The day it became legal in Michigan, we were swamped day and night with that BS, and it hasn't let up since. I'm at a level of fed up where I now despise every celebrity that has anything to do with it. I used to really like John Goodman and Vince Vaughan...

Funny thing that happened in FL. We had a proposed law that would legalize apps like Fan duel, draft kings, etc. in the lead up to the vote the Seminole tribe (who runs the casinos here) were running ads telling Floridians to vote no. After the law was rejected, they ran ads saying thank you for supporting us, and then a few months later released their own sports betting app which is now the only legal one in FL.
@Jonifico
I love how the info is very serious and professionally presented with quick bursts of absolute madness. This format is gold.
@Ja_Wu
Thank you, Rick Astley, for that investigative journalism
@Hotshot2k4
If they want to have a legal market rather than just a black market, they can do that. But ban them from advertising: let word-of-mouth find them, the same way that the black market apparently did. Also who thought that the government effectively subsidizing sports betting's "free money" offers was a good idea? Heck, they shouldn't be allowed to do that at all as a user acquisition strategy, advertising or not. The last thing that society needs is for more people to be pulled into this industry.

I feel like gambling at home is a lot more risky than gambling at a casino. When you have to drive to the casino there’s that barrier and there’s some time for you to think, turn around and decide not to. Whereas at home you open your phone and it’s done. Casinos aren’t usually run by saints and they try to play on the addictive nature of gambling as well but at least the casino isn’t in my pocket.

Gambling with a credit card is insane. How is that legal? I can’t even pull cash out of an ATM with a credit card.

Gambling addiction helps me understand the confusion felt by my friends and towards my drug addiction. “Dude.. why didn’t you just stop?” Lol
