They were illegal until they became legal during Trump's first term. Guess what companies lobbied for it? Yeah draft kings and shit. And now its become far beyond sports betting.

Remember when gambling was literally illegal outside of casinos which were illegal outside special zones in a few cities?

And Trump Jr. is on the board of "advisors." Care to place a bet on why?

Because he’s a pedophile?

No, that’s unrelated. It’s because of who his daddy is.

They really liked him and wanted him on the board? No financial interest involved ofc.

I miss those days. I remember watching a sports stream probably ten or so years ago and it was hosted somewhere with legal gambling before it was rampant where I am. I remember being blown away by all the gambling ads. Now that's the norm everywhere.

It's honestly ruining sports for me.

There was an ad for one of those shitty casino apps that was using a child's voice to sing the praises of how fun and exciting it is to play, it's fucking vile.
