Eric (@HLinsight) is a real life pro sports gambler. He also has profound reservations about sports gambling’s introduction to the mainstream. I can confidently say that the conversation you’re about to listen to isn’t happening at any of the other mainstream sports media sites. This is a candid look at why betting sports, as fun as it is, is mostly a sucker’s bet.

Topics include…

* Parlays and other tricks apps use to keep you hooked

* How the limiting of winners makes sustained success nearly impossible

* Tout scams, busty pick advice, and other ways to get rich off worthless tips

* Sports bet advertising that targets youth

* Betting on games vs. events that are determined by inside info (Draft picks)

* Can games be rigged in this era due to gambling?

* Pro social gambling vs. anti social gambling

* How do we feel about betting on the 2024 election? Good opportunities there?
