    It’s a good thing there are robust social safety nets and free addiction counselling available in America. Also that most people in the working class have a solid nest egg available for discretional spending!!

    That is insane. Does that percentage of men actually follow sports as well?

      The great majority of them, AFAICT, though none of my close friends nor I do. Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss sports.

    I don’t have a problem with sports betting. But I do have a problem with how it’s advertised. I can’t watch national talking heads or local beat reporters without them taking a minute every 15 to remind me whot they have partnered with. FFS man, about half of us don’t have money on the game and just want to learn about the matchup.
