Don't invoke KSO over here.
People are talking about things exactly as the occurred during the course of the season.
Suggestion for Jerome Tang and company: Don't come off of 10 days of practice looking like hot garbage and getting worked by Drake and 2 transfers from Northwest Missouri State. Then get back into the game, then produce a hot garbage Weberesque out of a time out last shot play. Then have a guy who was bitching about conditioning on a podcast be completely gassed at crunch and clanking critical FT's.
Lose the game . . . take responsibility for it, which is fine. Then start having your player (and you) start throwing in the completely unnecessary references to mean Tweets . . . which in turn undermines or waters down you taking responsibility for not having your team ready to play.
You cannot demand butts in seats, get not one but two pay raises in 2 years, be out there on the circuit openly brow beating the grass roots (and BMD's) for NIL money, be given that NIL money to go get dudes . . . produce this product, and then expect people to just sit back and accept what they're seeing.
That's not the way it works in this world, dude.
Did you mention openly testing job market?
That being said anyone who tweets at any player is a weirdo
Word is the dude who tweeted the real
Mean stuff wasn’t even a cat fan, but a disgruntled gambler
Do we think a gambler will physically attack a player someday in the US? I bet there's a good chance. (Heh)
There is a great chance.
https://newrepublic.com/article/189263/online-sports-betting-alito-lossesI completely foreswore sports betting after losing a big bet on K-State beating Arky St. after j rake told me it was a sure thing because Arky St had a COVID outbreak. I genuinely thank him for that.
As far as the best argument that I and many others used to make about bringing black markets public....I have to admit I'm not quite as sure about it any more. Who is the more efficient and ruthless capitalist? Tony Soprano or Wall Street?
I am typing this from Vegas where I am visiting some family for the holidays and the entire city is a monument to inequality, pleasure and misery. It is the most American city because it reflects America back to ourselves.
I think a slight improvement would be to remove the sports betting from phones/internet and decouple the insanely addictive dopamine hit of the phone, the anonymity and comfort of placing the bet in shameful isolation.
You want to place a bet? Great. Go hang out at the dog tracks, horse tracks, OTBs, sports books and casinos. Smell the cigarette smoke and look around and see if this is what you want.
Perhaps the striking finding by the SMU team, however, was the confirmation of the oldest data point in the history of gambling: The house always wins. Fewer than 5 percent of the gamblers that its survey tracked withdrew more money than they deposited from online sports betting apps. This is unsurprising, partly because the odds are always tilted in the sportsbook’s favor and partly because sports betting companies go to great lengths to freeze out gamblers with a track record of success. The Wall Street Journal reported in July on how some winning bettors will find themselves unable to place more than a few dollars or even as little as 50 cents in future bets, limiting the sportsbook’s potential losses—and the customer’s potential success.
While sportsbooks suppress the winners, they take extraordinary pains to keep everyone else chasing their losses. This can be particularly dangerous when addiction is a factor. The Athletic profiled an Arizona man who lost more than $110,000 during a 15-month betting spree, which saw him take out multiple loans and contemplate suicide to erase his debts before coming clean to his wife and seeking help. Like many addicts, he hoped that one big win could help erase dozens of smaller losses.
He hated himself. Several times, he tried quitting and would go days without placing a bet. Then his phone would ping. It was his VIP representative from FanDuel with a text message.
Hey Jordan … I just gave you a $200 bonus bet into your account.
