i hung out with old friends yesterday who gambled on basketball all day long halfway through the day i was so bored i decided to signup for a free predatory $100 my whole life theyāve done this, iāve never participatedāa first try for everything, eh? honest question, how, on gods green earth, do people do this? bet $50 to win $50 is considered INSANELY good odds in this stupidity to make any decent returns you have to string unreasonable binary add-on bets togetherā¦ this is quite literally the dumbest shit iāve ever done, given there are 10 people on the floor at all timesā¦ almost everything is unaccounted forā¦ donāt even get me started on football where uncertainty goes exponential risk $50 to win $60, $70?! against these parameters? with human referee interference?! with emotion weighted 10-fold? with timeouts & clock stops? this is super high risk & you canāt even make any good money doing itā¦ seriously, why do people do this?! itās absurd play table games or memes
