I disagree with the tweet. Investing is not “waste”

You think gambling = buying stock, huh?

Almost everyone lost? Isn't it almost exactly half and half? I guess it's half

No. Lots of bets aren’t near 50/50 odds. Even the ones that in theory are, like O/U and games against the spread

I'm not talking about 50-50 odds. I'm talking about the money ends up half

Money doesn’t end up half on both sides.

K. I thought that was the betting company's goal. Then just take their slice.

That's the goal but it's never perfect and usually is 55/45 or 60/40. Sometimes in rare cases it's 70/30.

Not really. Also think of how many bets are made on things without opposite sides like parleys.

TCuz

Each leg though has an opposite bet. Sounds like I'm wrong though.

paulb

Not on a parley.

In addition on average sports books take ~5% off the top of each bet (vig)

I've said this multiple times, it's the biggest new drug for 20-30 year old males.

Thats enough to give 700 people a thousand dollars

Yeah, I hate it. Seems like every podcast and show advertises for it too these days. Its a scourge on society.

There is a reason it was illegal before.

That's what they tell you...and then they lose their home

Well, they will come back down, but that is what they won.

Its not impossible to be “good” at sports betting. Its just that the vast majority of people who engage in it

NonmormonYfan89

Agreed. I was shocked when he told me how he was doing. He spends time on
