I mean, you sit there and watch a game on TV and it's wall-to-wall sports betting ads. For my taste, I'd like to see those ads banned, like cigarette ads. It's poisoning a lot of young minds.
I agree.
Kid watches a commercial with Wayne Gretzky and Connor McDavid and all the sudden he becomes more curious about sports betting or is convinced that gambling is great and not potentially harmful at all.
This is bad for society...just like social media is for kids.
I have said for a long time I want betting ads gone. Cigarattes, alcohol, betting (casinos) all are going to make their money regardless of if there are ads.
I enjoy most of those things myself, but why can betting and alcohol advertise but cigarettes and pot cant?
The day my 6 year old asked me if I knew jackpot city was the day I wanted him to never watch sports again
