    Early drop, don't get used to it. Almost forgot the SuperBowl was this weekend, no lie. I know I made one factual error, charge it to me being too overzealous about getting that Bush clip in there.

  2. @MODELSTUDlES

    Very glad I found this channel

    WHO and the UN should declare it an epidemic because people are dying and losing everything because of it worldwide
    Is bad here in America but if you go to 3rd world countries it is worst some people just make betting as a source of income
    In Nigeria, this betting stuff has killed a lot of young men, boys as young as 15 years are gambling with their school fees, and food money some even get into debt because of and when they can't pay it back they end up quitting it all
    Is very horrifying

    This is great. Good vid!

  5. @Apollo2112x1

    Nice deep dive thank you

  6. @undergroundsubway7023

    You shouldn’t even be allowed to gamble if you’re not 21

  7. @undergroundsubway7023

    Ironically for me, the sports betting era was the beginning of the end of my interest in sports. I just find it hard to believe it’s not all rigged now

  8. @ItsWagxiz

    Since i invested in MGM and DraftKings on the stock market i've made large returns. I'll keep doing it

  9. @Toyota4Life

    Finally, someone has said it I thought I was the only one when I tell people I’m not into sports. They look at me like I’m crazy and a conversation goes dead. These people are like fucking robots and they think caring about sports is some type of accomplishment to be obsessed with people that don’t even even know that you exist.

  10. @autismworldtravel

    Very interesting topic and thanks for bringing to this light. Well done sir.

  11. @nickpettinger8367

    Hand ball from a couple states away? How about Bosnian ping pong

  12. @hoch2824

    It’s not just an epidemic, in Australia all you see on the tv is sports betting ads and you have kids as young as 16-17 having bets

  13. @godwinuwaeme3472

    As someone who is in a community of people who make money on sports betting consistently through research, discipline, and bankroll management… I completely agree. This stuff is extremely predatory and sick. Personally i only do it because I’ve found people who make it profitable and on top of that i find joy in playing as robin hood and getting money back from such a predatory industry but for everyone else? Get out asap

  14. @bretbranson7780

    Earned a sub, really appreciated this video

  15. @supasmits

    If you know gematria, you know how the games are rigged by the numbers and it suddenly becomes an investment , not betting as you know MOST outcomes.

  16. @laureanoali2185

    baseball bans pete rose but is ok with draft kings

  17. @edwardmuscroftpaylor3440

    It’s sad this is effecting the esports community now. It’s causing match throwing etc. it’s really sad

  18. @davianoinglesias5030

    😅Americans have seen nothing yet, come to Kenya, betting is now being done in radio stations, listeners send money to the radio station and a winner is selected at random within 30 minutes😅just that, you are not even required to send in your lucky numbers or anything. Just send a certain amount of money and wait for the final draw.

  19. @ByeBaybe

    ruins the integrity of the game and goblins that don't care about the game show up. you should check out esports match fixing, huge problem with online tournaments.

  20. @TFD.aep2

    I dislike gambling. I cant write a moral thesis on why but it feels dirty. like its the most western thing you can do. I guess im growing more and more out of this materialist mindset that something like gambling represents it the most and it just feels disgusting like im tainting the soul. Also like you said basically the sports gambling specifically just commodification of people again
