Damn autocorrect does not want me to say bet

 

[Comrade Khan]

I just don't get it anyways , I don't get the thrill whatsoever

 

[Chris]

The psychologists currently say whatever the "thrill" is, people get it when they place the bet, not whether they win or lose. Kind of fascinating but fucked if true

 

[Comrade Khan]

I get Sport fantasy as there's lots of skill and incentive tied with the luck but even that's likely corrupt AF

 

[Shane]

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

I mean yeah some people have gambling addictions so if they gamble away their money and they have a family that could indeed be very bad.

The only thrill I had when I was doing it last year was seeing a monthly profit lol

forget fantasy, teams will sit players if they're too close to reaching contractual bonuses based on stats. It's all so fucked

I mean technically you can make money for doing nothing. Takes me 5 seconds to place a bet and could potentially win two weeks worth of wages.

why don't you just buy a lottery ticket then?

 

[Chris]

Or like 50 just to boost your odds

 

[Chris]

Do it because it's fun for you, once you start thinking of it as actual income supplement then you're fucked

 

[Shane]

cause a lottery ticket is pure luck. With betting on odds, you have at least some control because you know what you’re betting on.

the purity of competition is perverted but let's worry about the trans athlete . Kill me lol

you can choose your numbers and know the odds , only difference is the odds are worse but payout bigger

 

[Chris]

Sabs you should probably just read the big book of gambling fallacies for dummies before you get in too deep lol
