    It’s honestly insane. I have been watching sports with the same group of people for almost 30 years now, and the past few years it’s gotten fucking insufferable. These people genuinely believe that they’ve got a system going, doing bet arbitrage against their six different apps and seventeen different accounts. They don’t even watch the fucking game. They are just watching phones and laptops. I hate it.

    So what ends up is that I’m watching our team win, and happy about it, but half the room is punching holes in the wall because thirteen different stats across six different games didn’t magically align to give them a 100:1 payout. Two of the original group have literally taken on major debt to fund their addiction and still think it’s perfectly fine to keep betting.
