I'm not against legal sports betting, but the way its advertising has seeped into every aspect of professional sports is sickening.
Commercials, in stadium advertising, on jersey advertising, it's everywhere. Trying to watch the UFC now is insane. There are constant mid broadcast interruptions, they'll throw up live odds in the middle of fights, they'll display tweets from betting companies when someone makes a big bet, they'll bring in a betting company employee to tell you how you can win $3000 on a $100 bet if you just parlay every underdog on the main card. With the amount of money involved I would be shocked if there isn't some form of match fixing going on in at least one professional sport right now.
In my opinion it should be treated like tobacco, legal but with the advertising heavily regulated.
