Super Bowl LVIII

first year in a while I'm pretty disinterested in this game 

rather go to bed early then sweat out some negative EV bet on an outcome I have no control over

sports betting industry about to ruin so many lives in the US

If the sports betting was onchain, would you feel differently?

if there was no vig or the spread was similar to a market biid/ask, yes.

10% (on straight bets, worse on parlays) is egregious

So a fairer game. That’s interesting and fair. I don’t think too much about how these companies rig the game, but as you bring it up I can easily think of other examples of this

he said it much better than I ever could

I guess… I can’t be too mad at this, because when push comes to shove I just don’t see how this is materially different from crypto Super Bowl last year. People want to speculate. I used to get upset about this but then I realized it’s like a cultural rot that I can’t stop. All I can do is live by my values.
