Great video! I'm glad I never fell into the sports gambling or prediction markets trap. Crazy times.

Not even crack dealers assign "VIP hosts"--that's how evil these companies are--the worst of drug dealers mixed with the worst of white collar criminals. We have no hope. The only way to win is not to play.

Gen Z needs to get their head out of their app.

So Facebook is being sued everywhere because apparently they made their app addicting. But along comes a company that takes an addictive behavior and superchargers it to make it even more addictive. In an industry that has already destroyed countless lives.

Nice video, respect for pointing this issue out. Its sad to see so many coworkers on sports betting. More and more casinos seem to be getting built recently as well, just sad.

Having customers isn't enough for companies.  They want you addicted and willing to spend every cent you have.  This is predatory and needs to stop.

Ever wondered what happened in the Roman Colosseums? Now you know.

I have a friend who got out of the military set up a 5th wheel.that was a juke jjoint on wheels complete with 3 slot machine and card table. moved outside a rez and now he own properties on Miami beach

Thank you for speaking out on this issue that no one seems to talk about.  Probably because these companies sponsor so many influencers and podcasts.

During COVID, Coloradans were betting at least a million dollars a month on Russian table tennis.  The minimum bet allowed was FIFTY CENTS. The room where the matches are played looks like someone's unfinished basement that has had gym mats hung on the walls. I can't imagine something that is easier to fix, because we don't know whether they are live or not. Betting on Russian table tennis has only grown since COVID. The attractive thing about the table tennis match is that it lasts about 20 minutes.

sports/any gambling is a choice and how a person chooses what to do with that is the problem not the companies.. poor choices have consequences

It's funny that gambling ads appear in a video on the hazard of gambling. YouTube is amazing.
The massive problem with gambling is those who don't understand it. If you think you can bet $25 and win $1000 whatever your betting has odds similar to winning the state lottery.
Sharps seek a mere 3% edge to make a profit with the elite bettors at a 54% win rate.
In short, I'll bet on occasion because the cost of getting the information isn't worth the bet.

Very well done.  Great vid.

This is a huge problem that is rekking dudes

Curious how long all of the "sports betting" ads/apps are going to continue...there isn't a limitless supply of money, and long term most will lose their money, so it doesn't seem like a long term sustainable business plan. Great video, thanks!

There will be a scandal....there will be a HUGE scandal in the NCAA or one of the Professional sports leagues where systematic self-dealing will be uncovered.  Then Adam Silver and the rest of the corrupt executives in the sports industry will clutch their pearls and wail against the undue influence of the very predatory companies they themselves welcomed in as strategic partners.  The Sherman Antitrust Act is still on the books...it's time we started using it again.  Not that I'm expecting that to happen anytime soon.... (note - I specifically mean REMOVING the anti-trust exemption from these sports organizations and breaking them up or heavily regulating them...)

Gambling Ad - then counter Ad to call a number if you feel you have an addiction😂😂😂

good report Alice Cheung, but you should also include what they do if you win.  They limit or ban you from further play.  That is the worst part.

Truth well told

Your research is impressive! I know I could never gamble because this sounds way too advanced for my brain to understand. 😂

Personal responsibility goes a long way. Like brick and mortar casinos, if you can beat sports betting, you’ll be booted or have your limits reduced to a laughable amount. So, if your action continues to be taken, you’re a sucker. Wisen up, folks.
