Sports Betting: What DraftKings & FanDuel Don’t Want You To Know

GO UTAH! (although there are still somehow sports betting ads here)

Can we do tolls next, especially on the upper east coast. Compare the coasts?

What a great Oceans 11 reference 26:02

Turn your audience into revenue with your own sports prediction app. NBA, NHL, UFC, soccer — all live.

The refs and players are in on it so the regular people don’t stand a chance

Gambling has permeated every aspect of life through “prediction markets” of course. But I think what’s just as crazy is how it’s been targeting children for years now with video game loot boxes, and even toys like Labubus and collectable cards. Kids and adults alike spend tons of money to buy a pack of cards with the hope that the pack includes a rare and valuable card that also has monetary value on the market. It’s conditioning kids from a young age to enjoy the thrill of that chase. We need regulation across all sectors because gambling is everywhere under the guise of “mystery”.

Gaming is only bad if there is match fixing. Same with anything.

good report

Exactly. Historically China’s fell were significantly marked at 2 dynasty. Guess what’s the most popular entertainment during those 2 period of time ?

People who watched this, where are you all betting?

After watching this, are you all still on DK/FD or has everyone switched to something else?

Symptoms: Trump, legalized gambling, social media. These are the mechanisms through which the disease interfaces with the masses. To maintain interactions is the addiction. You can just quit.

Pete Rose betting on his own team is respectable.

And some loud mouth boy on the couch being paid to entice gambling, I hate Sports. People are addicted to gambling that destroys the gambler and families. FVCK SPORTS

Americans are Americans, let's face it. And their country is going to rack and ruin in multifarious ways. They'll still smile, and say 'Have a nice day' , bless 'em.

Yes in Australia we saw exactly the same trend take off number of years ago but this is when sporting operations we're looking for a new major sponsors after the removal of tobacco advertising. I mean these companies deeply entrenched themselves we even had a cricket game that was called The Benson and hedges World series cup. And now in Australia even the stadiums are sponsored by are named after online sports betting companies.
Now all good and well but the biggest problem is the entire industry has modelled it's entire funding around gambling revenues in every shape and form in the literal and the online sense so extracting this horribly cancerous and parasitic gambling industry will unfortunately cripple the sports industries.
As a result we are stuck with them and the consequences of entire generations knowing no difference but the close connection of Sport and gambling and God knows what social implications that will have. On top of the fact billions of revenue for sports agencies governments and these companies is generated and I think it's beyond speculation that this race for greed is found it's way under the pitch and into the decisions of referees and the performance of players. In other words sometimes we see decisions and outcomes of games that seemed incredibly irregular and it gets the mind thinking if the industry didn't have such a close affiliation to gambling billions that they would not be increased risk of game fixing.
Those thinking these gambling companies would act with higher integrity than those gambling on Wall Street and their track record of nefarious behaviour would be sadly mistaken.

Imagine how much worse things are going to get with the emergence of companies like Kalshi. Now people can not only bet on sports, but they can pretty much bet, or “trade”, on anything.

On top of that, the sports leagues themselves are under no obligation to produce organic results, it's "entertainment" so when they influence the outcome of games, they can justify it, so it doesn't matter how smart you are about sports. maybe that's how the books make the money back when customers win too much. just fix the right game.

We're slaves owned by banks

Something tells me this in itself is an actual advertisement for the sport betting sites 😢

The sharps will tell you, the biggest mistake people make is not withdrawing their money when they win. A majority of the money that's won on these sites is never withdrawn and instead is gambled right back again and lost.

Lotteries are also super popular, because they pray upon the poor who want just a little bit of hope in their lives

I think a new rule should be added to every league saying any athlete caught associating with a known sports gambler receives a 1 season ban

i do a lot of arbitrage gambling and YES they do limit you when you start winning which is complete BS and should be illegal

When you think you’re smart for not gambling. Then at the very end you realize investing for retirement Roth IRA and 401Ks into the s&p500 and total market index funds is technically betting on businesses 😩

Al Michaels is the sportscaster who once in a while will make a veiled comment about the point spread.

did they not see what happened to Las Vegas? That city went from Sin City for the everyday man to playhouse for the rich. They got rid of $20 buffet for $50 burgers. And how'd that work for Vegas? MLB is betting on the spending habits of rich people staying the same while pricing out their base. Let's see how many years it takes for all this to crash. Ima put it at 1 more generation. Private Equity, unrestricted NIL, Gambling & absurd youth sports models will end all of this in 1 generation.

I'll sum up your video in four points:

1) gambling is addictive;
2) you will lose everything;
3) the house never loses;
4) orange man bad.

Done.

People are illogical. They bet on emotions. The mega lotteries do best when the jack pots become enormous. They increased the odds of winning to make it so hard to win that the rollover jacket pots grow to huge pay offs. This works because a lot of people don't play if the jack pot is "only" 100 million. But once it reaches a half of billion, everyone is buying multiple tickets. People can no longer get excited about winning $100 million. Why, because that wouldn't be enough to change you and your families life? Crazy. This proves how illogical most people are.

I can't even stand watching sports on TV anymore, its just a nonstop parade of ads for gambling companies. The 2026 Super Bowl was especially bad

The longer you stayed in a casino the more likely you were to lose.
If you did win big, they comped a room just to hold you overnight and thus, increase their odds of getting it back.
If you continued to win, they told you to leave, and barred you.
Why should online gambling be any different?
They don't ever want you to win.
Shame on celebrities pushing this $hit!
Greed from endorsing gambling and encouraging the general public to mess up their lives by getting into these financial black holes.
They've just taken mob rules and applied them to legalized gambling thanks to the Federal and State de-restrictions....
Another suckers welcome business model!
Once again the rich don't get hurt, but desperate, poor people do, trying to dig their way out of poverty.
If it wasn't profitable, there wouldn't be constant commercials on every platform.
Once again politicians being bought and sold.
They don't care about problem gamblers any more than Budweiser cares about alcoholics!

$200 million on lobbying but an app company can't be profitable? Yea right.

Where is my fanduel

Pete Rose ruined his career by betting on games in the 80s. Now the whole team can bet without shame. I hope this billion dollar industry is paying its fair share of taxes.
