Since 2018, sports betting has been quickly legalized across much of the United States — and it’s created countless problems.

On , I spoke to Alex Shephard to discuss how it fueled gambling addiction and could threaten the integrity of sports.

This scandal is not the last gambling scandal we’ll see in American sports. Far from it.

I’m old, but I think all of the online sports betting commercials are offensive. I prefer commercials for useful things like furniture, cancer treatments or boner pills.

    Better to license and regulate it to keep it somewhat fair and ensure that winnings are paid out and taxes are collected.

    Ugh. All betting is vile, but is especially disturbing because it's reducing skilled athletes to slot machines for "easy" money. Capitalism in its purest form.

    There's nothing more obviously profiteering to me than , , and for sports betting at casinos.

    Come ie algorithmically lose to the house for entertainment! We'll make millions and you'll get to dream of being rich. At least paying for a movie or a book about someone becoming super rich would provide more world building, if not delusions, as to a reality where you are one of the forever elusive "wealthy enough".

    The future is a casino planet where most people do not own anything, they spend their life selling their time and attention for access to the things they need to live packaged as cheap entertainment.

    It is a curse that robber barons steal our time and attention and literally our lives from us. We are a populace crippled by of its potential.
