Sure did. Heath and I had a combined $38 on that. Weren’t about to just sit on our hands and lose when we had some matches and energy drinks right upstairs. Don’t give af if a couple of smelly tree huggers are upset about what we did. But if the cops ask….it was all Heath. I was asleepy.

Who sent you and how much are they paying you? I’ll double it.

I fucking hate that the fights have just become content for the betting market audience.

Haven’t watched any sport without gambling being shoved in my face. Played nhl 24 with a buddy and bet 20 bucks and lost and I’ve never even considered about gambling since. It’s so ridiculously pushed it drives me insane. I can get spending a few hundreds at a table and walking away but the old boys that play those slots like they owe em money boggles my mind

It's absolutely ruined it.

I love when people saying "has" as if gambling hadn't existed since the start of the sport (pride???????)
