I put down a few bucks on the horses on the first Saturday in May, but it seems like online sports betting is just specifically designed to screw people out of all their money as fast as possible.

I guess…change my mind? Or don’t.

Edit: I wasn’t asking anyone to convince me to gamble, I was curious who the hell actually throws money in a black hole and wanted to hear their perspective. Thanks for the downvotes.

    Seems like an efficient way to take the fun out of watching sports to me personally. The whole sportsbook thing is less of a novelty to people like me from the UK though; we’ve already been through the cycle of the adverts becoming so obnoxious that there is a consumer backlash and regulation ends up getting tightened again.
