Shannon is the last principled man in sports media
Talking sports betting, how about that delay of game call on Seider last night? Pretty egregious, if you ask me. Some day the truth of gambling's insidious reach into hockey will out, and it's going to be ugly.
6:25 I love this… Youtube commercial comes on for LottoMax, right here. LOL
Gambling organizations don't do near enough to warn people of what they're getting into.
4:31
Who’s here after his 4 assists last night?
Jeez Kirby just can't catch a break ever
Big ups to you not going with sports betting. I know people who have an addiction to it and have ruined friendships/relationships with it. The occasional $1 or $2 lottery game is one thing, but to risk everything financially on something as random as hockey or even the lastest world series, it's dangerous territory.
And thanks to the algorithm I just got a betting ad in the middle of watching this. It has become ubiquitous. I try not to watch any pod cast/show that supports it and try to walk away when the adds come on the games I watch. Good for to not promote this addictive activity.
Imagine being dumb enough to bet on game then expecting an athlete to pay for your foolishness? I hate how every game and most sports podcasts endorse it!
Thanks for being vocal about your stance on sports betting and the companies behind it. It's a predatory practice and not only ruins the integrity of sports, it ruins people's lives.
Society has enough issues, we don't need ever more gambling addicts where lives get ruined.
To know Sheldon doesn't support the practice and won't accept their sponsorships, is refreshing.
Thanks, Sheldon.
The owners (and college administrators) are the ones who jump-started the gambling stampede, all because of greed. Unfortunately, many, many others will pay the price.
It is guaranteed that about 6% of the adult population will have some gambling issues, up to and including full addiction. That's many, many broken relationships, lost homes, suicides.
No person should ever be allowed to place a legal bet without being required to take and pass a class on gambling probabilities.
Sports betting ruins the game. I am saddened by the apparent warm embrace sports organizations have made with online sportsbooks. The amount of corruption is palpable and I have a feeling it will eventually come crashing down. But I feel there is too much money being made that even when the corruption is put on full display it will be buried and sportsbooks protected. Please dont gamble and enjoy the game for the game.
I feel like sports betting after this video.
Not surprised at all that players are getting hassled by the crazy folks who obsess over betting. I have a friend I played hockey with that – for the past 4 years – he incapable of having a "normal" converation about pretty much anything. With him, eventually any topic will return to sports betting. He's convinced of his "systems" and all that crap. I don't know if he's crazy enough to hassle athletes over his betting, but I wouldn't be surprised at all.
People who place bets and obsess over them are beyond help. They don't want help. They don't want anything…except to win their next bet. And legalized sports betting has only made it worse. There will be thousands of families horribly affected by gambling, and pro-sports are acting like psychopaths who simply want more money.
Thank you for discussing sports gambling and for not promoting it. I was raised in Vegas, and I don't gamble except for maybe a bet on the Super Bowl (win/loss). I don't gamble because I have no luck. My mother and grandmother had all the luck, and that gene was NOT passed on to me. The lack of taking responsibility for one's actions on the part of sports bettors is alarming.
Every person who requests reimbursement from a player should have to fight Matthieu Olivier
But the situations we find out about are when the players are gambling so they do care😂
Hey is that Monopoly jersey from Geeky Jerseys stitched or heat pressed?
GO KAMPH !!! (Can't be any worse!)
GREAT editorial on the Betting connection with sports and even worse, the broadcasters of sports promoting it so unappolgetically; it's quite sickening. It forever astounds me how human beings can't make the math work: when ANY company is making THAT MUCH MONEY for "providing a service", you're probably being cheated somehow… YA THINK? (When "cheating" is defined as: being unfair / unequal compensation).
Good for you! Sports betting is bad news,.
What percentage again?
