I'm at a relative's watching some NBC show where a couple of early 20-somethings are giving people sports betting tips and it makes me sick to my stomach (hexbear.net)

These kids should be out getting too drunk and having fun with their friends, not giving people advice on how to lose money.

Yeah this sports betting app craze is close to home for me and deeply troubling.

I suppose I can't throw stones because I used to bet on horse races with a former friend of mine but the technological angle of this is insidious to me.

A 22 year old losing some money on a horse race is a youthful mistake, but a major media company using a 22 year old to push horse race stubs is deliberately fostering addiction.
