Basketball is my favorite sport, and one day I was watching a game, when I saw a Fanduel commercial that said people who placed a bet could get 3 months of league pass after placing their first bet or something along those lines. I was honestly tempted to do it just because having league pass would beat the hassle of always needing to find a stream, but it hit me while I was watching that that is EXACTLY how people become problem gamblers. They entice you with something that you want outside of gambling, and once you start, you can’t stop. It’s been getting worse and worse, and it seems like it’s here to stay; NBA players can even invest in betting companies, it’s pushed in every single commercial, and it’s inescapable regardless of sport, Football, Basketball, American Football, etc. Gambling is super predatory, and I don’t trust it at all.
