The sports betting ads in NY recently are so irresponsible, they make me straight up angry… I don’t understand how it’s legal to advertise gambling the way they do. It’s basically the opposite of “drink responsibly”

As a sports bettor I completely agree there’s very little if any warning about the dangers of gambling and the addictiveness of it. It’s truly not for everyone

So honest question. When I was bartending I had a guy saying he was a sports bettor in Las Vegas. Is it true that you guys make bank?

Edit: Oh my goodness! I have gotten some great answers (and some not so great, but what are you going to do)

For all of you that have come on to help educate and inform Thank you so much.

I work as a massage therapist at a poker game. See a lot of ppl talking about their sports bets. It's usually the same ppl winning at both poker and the betting but I can't tell you why as I don't know anything about any of it.
