Is anyone concerned about how prevalent the advertising of sport betting has become. I participate but I do it leisurely, however I’m concerned about how much I’ve been seeing it pushed withing the past year. Official NBA Twitter accounts are posting over and unders and stuff. Idk just something I’ve had on my mind recently.

    I hate them I think the worst one is the prize picks ad. I hear it all the time when listening to podcasts and it sucks. The make sports betting sound like a game saying come and join thousands of other “players” and come play the game.

    It’s not a game you are betting your money away. I know we live in a time where everything is “not that deep” but presenting gambling as a “game” is fucked up

    Im not concerned because I won’t blow my money on betting. But I’m sure these commercials will cause someone to get into betting and then ruins his life because he was dumb

    I think gambling addiction will be the new opiate addiction in 5-10 years. It’s really ridiculous what they’re doing.

    I think it’s pretty pathetic but I also enjoy placing bets. Ultimately I’m sad for the future of this league as a competitive entity, and wouldn’t be shocked if a truly international league ultimately replaces the NBA as it turns into more and more of a pro-wrestling circus.

    It’s ruined sports. Sports fans are already annoying and stupid but god it’s completely and hopelessly rotted their brains.

    Yeah let’s regulate that nonsense man. I will stand on this hill till i die, this zebra shit where there’s 3 on the clock in the 4th and it turns into 30mins of indecision and advertising non-stop is fucking egregious. The madman has won and keeps digging further and further into peoples personal lives. Stop this shit. Please. I just want to watch the game and move on after, Also my email’s inbox is not 99% full Microsoft you absolute animal, you just suck at getting into my wallet.
