   Online Sports Betting Is for Losers (doc.searls.com)
If a casino or sportsbook allow unlimited losers, they shouldn’t be able to cut off winners. Conversely, if they cut off winners, they should be required to reimburse loses above a statutory limit.

In a healthy economy “Tails I win, heads you lose” businesses should not be allowed to succeed.

I watched a hockey game on TV last year and the only ads on the rink were online gambling, and America First.

Most of the ads I see these days are sports gambling.

If you’re just gonna ban gamblers who try to beat your house edge through smart methods… maybe don’t advertise to me…?

I would guess this is not true for betting exchanges where backers and layers are directly connected to eachother and the exchange takes a small cut of every transaction regardless of which side wins or loses. I wouldn’t have thought it would matter to them if you were a consistent winner because your repeat business helps to provide liquidity to the exchange.
Hard agree. Would never work for a gambling or gambling adjacent company.
It has taken over the lexicon of most major sports to the point I can barely stand watching most of them now…

NFL broadcasts lean so heavily into betting odds, parlays, prop bets, everything… it’s so obnoxious hearing about X player hitting the over, only to go to a commercial offering some free money if you place a certain sized bet.

I really hope (but am not holding my breath given how much money is involved at this point) they ban sports betting advertising in the future.
