Sports Betting Reality Series

[geebert74]

When is there going to be a reality series on FOX? Maybe I don't watch enough of prime time television to know if there is already one out. But if not, someone needs to start a reality TV series of sports gamblers.

Perhaps one of us could be the star.

Just an idea...

Would be a ratings flop

A very small percentage of people bet sports so basically no interest

Sports Bettors in society are looked at like trash lets not kid ourselves here

If they depict it well, it may bring sports betting into mainstream society, or at least ease people's prejudices against it.

I agree... Maybe the whole community will not be so looked down upon.

It will be cool. Maybe on The Apprentice. They give each team $10,000 and ask them to invest in sports betting to increase the balance. Team A led by Justin7 and Team B lead by Richkas/Brock Landers.

This may be true but I consider most people on reality shows "trash". A lot of people like watching Trash for some reason or another. Why do you think Jerry Springer, Maury Povich etc etc are so popular. I think it makes people feel good about themselves to watch other people more F'd up then themselves. I think a Sports Betting Reality Series COULD be good if it was done right and the cast was entertaining and it was Marketed well. You don't think people would want to watch you on TV JJ? That would be entertaining as hell! I know I'd watch it.

they only problem with that is if we used SBR people the mainstream society would think even less of us than they do now

[ronjon619]

this idea may have some legs. I always run into people who know favorites / underdogs but do not bet. The first thing out of a lot of peoples mouth is team X is favored.

[geebert74]

I really think it could defn be done... It could quite possibly be the most talked about reality series is the right network got in on it.
