If we ban betting on sports, they’ll just move betting to some other random indeterminate outcome. Like…which industries and markets are going to perform better than others month by month.

I guess some way to change your mind is giving you a share of the money the gambling industry is paying for having this happen

Before it was outlawed, in my country some gambling website even paid to rename the league to "bet and win league"

Good to see people agree on this. The way that gambling in sports has flourished really targets and is detrimental to young men, IMO. I've noticed that younger men tend to feel it's normal to risk a significant amount of money gambling on almost all sports, to include E-sports, when really it shouldn't be something they think about constantly.

I like gambling as much as the next person, and I feel like you should be allowed to if you're responsible, but I think we shouldn't be glorifying gambling like it's just something everyone does. Shame on all these celebrities using their status to trick younger people into gambling.

The worst are podcast ads. It's like 30% "you can win $100 on a $10 bet with promo code xyz" and 70% disclaimers and gambling addiction hotline numbers.

Governments want that tax income. They want that business to boom. They don’t care about the side effects.

But Red would give zero fucks about gambling.
