The current pitching controversy in the MLB is pretty funny tho, you can bet on individual pitches being balls or strikes and guys are already accused of throwing into the dirty on purpose

Now I just bet that naked gun would be above 90. The bet closes on Monday and right now it’s 91 lol so here’s hoping

eh as long as you’re not hurting anyone

they most likely are, and now people are finally realizing these insanely miniscule type single play bets are opening the door for crazy corruption with easy plausible deniability

If the guys fixing the world series In 1919 could have just bet money on if pitches were balls or strikes and threatened pitchers to throw balls then they wouldn't have needed to get near as many players involved lol

Sports and morals are already corrupted beyond belief and I think enriching yourself off of people like that is not great . I prefer my betting like poker where there's an actual competition and not an algo designed to always be on top

Hell the umpires fuck up the damn strike and ball shit in baseball tbh lol.

I’m betting on movie reception lol but I guess you could say critics are paid off to give a good review to the bet hits.

 

[Comrade Khan]

And id argue people hurt themselves and their family all the time. But yes ppl are free to do what they like. I think it's fucked up for it to be a sports sponsor and that's definitely a conflict of interest

 

[O-Blaze]

Saw one where it was dead center and umpire said ball no way I risk money on an umpire not being a dumb fuck

 

[Chris]

I think it'll cause a lot more direct damage to sports but that's more bc we already have worse vices in society, it's like not enough to make a dent if gambling is there too

 

[Comrade Khan]

I’m betting on movie reception lol but I guess you could say critics are paid off to give a good review so the bet hits.

it's also.thst can't we get real.jobs lol wages are suppressed but you can gamble your life away more thwn ever. Nothing in this world makes sense

You can get on over/unders for Dave Meltzer star ratings he talks about what they are sometimes if people send them to him before he rates said matches. It doesn't get more fucked than the one guy in charge of the rating being aware of the odds before he says the rating lol
