I put down a few bucks on the horses on the first Saturday in May, but it seems like online sports betting is just specifically designed to screw people out of all their money as fast as possible.
I guess…change my mind? Or don’t.
Edit: I wasn’t asking anyone to convince me to gamble, I was curious who the hell actually throws money in a black hole and wanted to hear their perspective. Thanks for the downvotes.
I did, put $20 in to bet on the superbowl one year and won. I made a bunch of NBA bets until the end of the season and won a lot of them as well. I made $300 and took $200 out. I played some more with the $100, went up and down but ultimately lost it. Still overall gain of $180 was fine by me! My friends all love to use it as well, but they are way more into sports than I am. They do the whole fantasy leagues and stuff.
I have no issue with gambling, but if you are not a responsible person you should absolutely stay away. I grew up playing poker with friends so thats why I always enjoyed it.
Seeing all the comments I feel like I am completely different from everyone else here lol.
Yeah - I don’t generally gamble outside of 1 day a year, plus raffles don’t count and I go in for them once in a while. I’m up maybe $800 over my lifetime.
I would bet you $5 that if i asked about crypto, a much larger percentage of people here would tell me about how they made some money and it’s certainly not gambling.
