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.

    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.
