I think it's doable, but you really have to know the intracies of every team. And the problem is 99% of bettors are completely ignorant and merely think they understand wtf is going on
E.g. Betting props on Xavier worthy or Jordan Addison based on opponent zone% and if they have 2 corners + NB/FS that are above average in man

What bothers me is the ESPN's, YouTube, pod cats and other major networks pump up naive bettors.
I think all mentions of gambling should be removed from sports coverage.
That sounds good.
I put around $50-$100 into my draftkings account every football season. I do $10 bets on a single game maybe and $3 dollar parlays. Win just enough to keep a balance going for the year.
I like doing 9 game parlays for that sweet small chance to turn $3 into $1600.

Sports betting should be legal in every state of America. If folks are gonna do it, might as well pay your teachers off it.
SPORTS BETTING SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO BE PLACED AT A PHYSICAL LOCATION
every city should have a bookie that you have to drive to in order to place the bet, they can sell wings and beer with a bunch of tvs for all I care but you need to be required to physically step into a place to place a bet
the absolute scourge of betting right now is its availability as app on your phone - it's ridiculous how convenient it is to lose your life savings on an app button next to twitter

But if I want to place a wager on a basketball game tonight, I should have to drive to a physical location to place a bet? then drive back to the same location to place bets on Saturday's games?

very much so yes
gambling is far too convenient, you draw a good comparison to trading stocks and binge shopping which is a fair comparison, but no industry inspires spiraling the way gambling does
following up a loss with more and more bets, I don't think booking airline tickets has the same effect as someone on the first day of the basketball tournament continually trying to save their day with more and more and more - the nature of the app is to get the person to keep betting and putting a physical barrier in front of the person could at least stop it edit: well could at least slow it down
gambling is an addiction with no physical barrier - you drink too much you pass out, you do too many drugs you die, and so on. With gambling the person can just keep going

I can’t help but to wonder how much poverty could be eliminated by taking the money that one might spend gambling and instead choosing to feed the poor.
It’s a better ROI to gamble.

Yeah I’ve had similar thoughts while watching games, especially some of those weirdly timed penalties that just feel a little too convenient. I’ve seen flags thrown way late or completely missed calls that swung the game, and it definitely messes with your trust in the integrity of the sport. It’s probably not all rigged, but I wouldn't be shocked if hidden agendas play a part here and there.
When I do bet, I try to stick with crypto casinos for the speed and privacy. If you're into that kind of thing, you can find the best bitcoin casino sites ranked with bonuses included, which helps narrow down where it’s safer or more worthwhile to place bets.
