Interesting cover article in The Atlantic this month.
Doubt many here read The Atlantic - I don’t but it caught my eye and I get access with Apple News.
Basically same old tale of woe we hear every year in March…I started betting $20 on the apps for March Madness and buy November I’d drained my 401k type shit chasing football.
Real - possibly, but just feeding old stereotypes too. Bored husbands looking for excitement…like no one ever got hooked on day trading or similarly stupid activities in their mid life crisis.
Get ready though - as the exchanges ramp up….the apps are gonna push more and more of this down our throats. Seems counterintuitive for a gambling platform to attack another - but remember it’s happened before. Beer companies attacked spirits for example saying it made people alcoholics vs social drinkers. Tobacco companies offered “safe” alternatives like filtered cigarettes and menthols vs the unhealthy non filtered and stogies.
Bottom line - they will demonstrate how that $20 6 leg SGP is “harmless fun” but laying a grand on a money line using an exchange is “dangerous” because they make their profits differently.
