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.

    That said, I thought the vote count looked skewed so I threw an upvote because I don’t think the discussion in and off itself is bad. But no, I can’t relate and don’t care to change anyone’s mind.

    Yeah, maybe that’s my bad. I think sports betting apps are one of the worst things ever done with a smartphone, so “change my mind” was more so asking anyone who is into these apps to explain why they’re into it. I didn’t expect anyone to take that literally and downvote in…disgust? disagreement? I dunno. Lesson learned that lemmy is still social media.
