Feels like no one wants to bet on sports anymore

[Orbison]

not sure if it's just me, but it feels like there's a strong growing sentiment - which has now reached the average joe bettors - that sports betting is a waste of time, fruitless endeavor, fool's errand.. whatever you want to call it. it just doesn't excite anyone, no one finds it interesting to talk about anymore, etc.

not that those sentiments about sports betting haven't been around forever because they have, but it's seeming to be really magnified right now due to all the excitement and discussion about cryptos. people would far prefer to throw a few thousand towards different cryptos and hope one of them takes off, rather than place numerous sports bets per day hoping to come out profitable

like i said it could just be me overthinking things, but it feels like we've hit a real inflection point now because even casuals have adopted this line of thinking and are practicing it too.. their cryptos are in-action 24/7/365 and that's far more appealing than grinding through the zero sum game of sports betting. in fact, they don't even care or think about sports betting anymore, don't look at lines, don't even know who's playing.. none of it

The games integrity has changed

NBA is a clown show
NFL is just about flags on 3rd & 20
MLB they changed the ball
NHL is regional really, but playoff hockey, if you've never watched, is really fukking good product.

[Orbison]

well yes ck that's because you do it for a living, but certainly you realize what a tiny segment of the population you represent, right?

[carolinakid]

the thing i hate in american sports today, it nothing but pts in all sports to kept people watching and fans in the seats.

[carolinakid]

Yes i can see what you saying.....

yes! this is an enormous part of it too and so when you combine that with the current crypto movement, it just feels like this gigantic snowball which is racing downhill far away from sports bettng

Heritage Sports is giving a FREE BET on the FCS Final. Maybe that will inspire some guys who blew their pedojoey checks on hookers, drugs, booze and slots

Offshore very strong right now.
Land based? Only for guys who love to pay heavy vig, either because they are naive or low IQ players

[Emily_Haines]

Summer always suck for betting.

[johnnyvegas13]

The bad sentiment is all the new legal book bettors who thought it would b easy

bothing has really changed

[Otters27]

May have been already said.

Crypto

bingo

also, i don't think overall volume in the markets has increased one bit - rather, only the ratios between legal and offshore have changed some

[johnnyvegas13]

Crypto

prob the second biggest reason

at least most rather play crypto than stock market now

How much are you up in sports betting life time ?

[gauchojake]

It's a mugs game

[pavyracer]

The book rules are not bettor friendly. The industry needs to reinvent itself with better bettor friendly options. The spreads are obsolete. They served their purpose when they were first introduced. But now bettors found them boring for a team in any sport to be rooting to beat a meaningless imaginary number. Especially in basketball where a silly foul or someone not playing defense at the end of game ruins bets.

[packerd_00]

Now that they've killed off the live spectator aspect, Sports are losing a lot of the excitement. Playoff Hockey had zero emotion last season and I expect that to happen again this year if they keep out fans.

I still bet NASCAR though as that's my main Sport.

My observation..I joined in 2007. I got used to a lot of names.
I was off till about 2018..started coming on again..
Some familiar names alot of new ones.
I've noticed the crypto threads and noticed alot of the old names but havent seen them handicapping sports and posting anymore.
It's like moving up to the next level in wagering/ handicapping.

[Waterstpub87]

I'm much less into then I used to be. Used to be betting every day of the year. Skipped basketball this year, barely cared. Might be football and baseball only going forward. 2-3 years ago, that would have never happend

[pilebuck13]

The younger kids they don’t like to gamble they like to flip sneakers and shit like that to make cash.... they invest and use computers bots all that stuff they might play some wild parlays but the real grind everyday they don’t do

[JIBBBY]

Everyone bets posting on this forum but not many want to share those bets on a public forum. Jinx factor..

We need the spectators this year mate. The roar of the crowd and the banging of the glass, just something that makes playoff Hockey special.

[Marigold HD]

Only games I enjoy wagering is nfl

Hard to argue these points... the shift has killed my love for baseball. It’s home run or nothing, there are very few guys making great defensive plays, etc... situational baseball is dead.

and the theme of his daily threads is always about everyone losing in sports betting, needing to pay their man, etc.

yet in his next breath he's always telling people to deposit their paychecks directly into their offshore accounts

i don't know what's real or just an act with this guy

JJ is an act. He has been jerking off for 20 years. He gets paid when posters lose offshore. Let’s cut to the chase.
