On Line Gambling - What's The Hook?

Seeing sports book adds on TV recently with come on's like "bet $1 and win $100 if either team scores a 3-pointer. Focusing on both college and pro-sports. Others hint at a similar score if there's a field goal etc. Not a gambler here, but I'd think dropping a dollar on a 3-pointer would be a sure thing. Has to be some sort of out, or they'd obviously go broke. What's the real deal? Do we all loose if teams score more than one 3 pointer?

Las Vegas and the others trying to suck you in to watching blackball. Gamblers will watch anything that they have money on, increase the ratings. The last time I gambled probably 25 years ago there were 28-30 ways to bet on the super bowl. Go to horse race at least if you lose 2 bucks it buys a bale of hay.

casino's for shut-ins!

Ya they hammering these adds in Ia. I think they said there was like 150 million wagered in Ia. in January. Would think they would give the casinos a run for their money. I heard the 100 dollar for a dollar thing and they said restrictions apply. One of them was 4 25 dollar bets. I bet they string them out over a few weeks time so you can burn money waiting for your next freebie

preying on peoples addictions just like meth and heroin dealers.

On line betting is the best thing to ever happen to real gamblers. There is a fortune just wating to those that truly understand the garme.

i don't know but the TV ads must be costing millions

Always heard it's better to bet on a horse than a football (baseball, hockey, soccer, pick a sport) team.

You're only betting on one dumb animal....................................not 11.

Not true, you just gotta understand the game you're betting on..

Was advised years back by a coworker that did very well on baseball to never bet on sports carrying point spreads.

I understand the game, house always wins. Plain and simple.

Its literally the most conservative thing a person can do.

I have never bet a penny on sports. Never saw the appeal.

They constantly lose because of this. And some lucky players know that the main thing is not your favorite team, but your winnings from a good bet. But I'm not from this group. They never bet on sports. I'd rather play poker, think about my game, than about football players, you know. If you are not familiar with casinos, just read the online casino guide.

Who's sock puppet are you? Dragging up old threads with your 2nd post is oh so fuqking clever. 🙄
