This is the what the sports gambling industry has become. The vast majority of new players are betting Lottery Ticket Parlays with over player props and favorites looking to change their lives with one hit on 6-10 leg parlays. And social media promotes the 1 in 10,000 one that actually hits at 6732-1 like it’s an everyday occurrence that can happen to you too.
Just look at what happens when a player gets hurt, they cry within minutes for “refunds” because they all bet the over. Here is another example from last night. Books inflate the prop totals because they know this mob won’t be an under.
Draft kings and Fanduel are making tens of millions, $10 to $20 at a time. And the leagues have bought into it with their pregame shows pushing prop parlays. Anyone making “smart” straight wagers with these books and winning will be cutoff or limited quickly. They don’t want that business.
I truly believe the damages being done will become a big story in some circles in the next few years. While the NFL will claim they “warned” fans with disclaimers.
