My biggest irritation is wanting to hear analysis or highlights, and I have to see what 7-leg parlay is being championed by Golden State legend Festus Ezeli

There needs to be regulation on gambling ads. Like limit each gambling company to 1 advertisement per game. Don't need 2 or 3 different companies advertising literally every game break. Kevin Hart is NOT that popular.

Normally, I disregard the conspiracy theories on TikTok, but when it comes to gambling, those individuals can be incredibly convincing and persuasive. It's like, "Wait a minute, that actually sounds plausible!"

This is my whole thing now. We used to make Blue Chips jokes about point shaving but there’s so much money involved that I think it is or could be a real concern.
Another aspect I don’t like is how how folks are getting upset with players all over the various leagues that aren’t on their team because it ****** up their bets. I think it happens the most with over/unders and dudes making or missing shots or an NFL player/coach deciding to score or not later in games.
It’s really intensified things but I think the leagues like it because it’s increased interest. Now folks watch more games of teams of their team as well as bad teams which is technically good for the leagues.

Degenerate gambling picks for the day:
Jalen Johnson- vs one of worst defenses in NBA, Washington
AR/DLo- Gabe Vincent out, they’ll get extra opportunities tonight
Mark Williams- undervalued
Ausar Thompson- vs Portland
Ayton- Duren questionable. If he’s out Ayton up against Marvin Bagley and Wiseman.

Fans OPENLY voicing their idiotic and foolish opinions about players who don’t help them win a parlay or fantasy are idiots. Tweeting or @‘ing, and DMing players because you lost is psychotic. That’s a personal problem and not on the players.
Anyone who gambles must already understand that their are no guarantees. You can’t be one of those “happy when I win” type of people and upset with the players/teams when you lose types. That’s the point of gambling. Dudes be happy as heck win they win a few thousand, but livid when they lose. It is what it is.
If gambling makes you temperamental, that’s a personal problem and those kind of people need help.

Y'all can go play with someone else. I know what has been said about Luka in here.
Y'all boy better win. Point blank period. Luka > Harden has ran rampant and he doesn't even have an MVP. Missing the playoffs but he's better than Harden?
I stand by everything I've said.

I want them to stop mass promoting the military if we're talking about the ills of society that get championed.

I can't stand gambling. I once knew a family acquaintance who got into it and came up with a so-called foolproof method for winning at roulette. He even managed to convince my wife. I explained to them that roulette has some of the worst odds, and this supposed foolproof method was just a surefire way to lose everything. It involved repeatedly betting on the same color until it hit or the 3:1 odds option, increasing the bet each time. I pointed out there's a cap on how much you can bet.
Long story short, they were convinced he was winning, but things started disappearing from the house – envelopes full of money, jewelry, and more. He had the audacity to blame a visiting brother, accusing him of being near the missing items. Eventually, the stealing stopped, but the police got involved. It turned out he was selling the stolen goods to a pawnshop, and detectives had pictures of everything he had taken, even jewelry that we didn't know was missing, including the kids' jewelry. He told the pawnshop owners that he worked for the lost and found at the airport and could keep the lost items after a while. It was a pathetic situation, and his gambling addiction had cost him everything.

Famb - it may have been because I was watching football but I have never seen so many ads telling parents to support their kids who want to pursue careers/futures in military. Multiple times, each game. It was a lot.
