Eric (@HLinsight) is a real life pro sports gambler. He also has profound reservations about sports gambling’s introduction to the mainstream. I can confidently say that the conversation you’re about to listen to isn’t happening at any of the other mainstream sports media sites. This is a candid look at why betting sports, as fun as it is, is mostly a sucker’s bet.
Topics include…
* Parlays and other tricks apps use to keep you hooked
* How the limiting of winners makes sustained success nearly impossible
* Tout scams, busty pick advice, and other ways to get rich off worthless tips
* Sports bet advertising that targets youth
* Betting on games vs. events that are determined by inside info (Draft picks)
* Can games be rigged in this era due to gambling?
* Pro social gambling vs. anti social gambling
* How do we feel about betting on the 2024 election? Good opportunities there?
