    Entirely reasonable take: https://slate.com/technology/2025/11/baseball-betting-scandal-emmanuel-clase-luis-ortiz-cleveland-guardians.html

    I had the Broncos in my survivor pool. And after the (controversial) Denver No Kings altercation with the bigoted Giants fan...I had a lot of incentive to root for the Broncos this week. Glorious.

    Damn, Doug Martin died.

    No one cares enough to do it. It's like trying to decipher Papa John's recipe. Why bother?
  7. JudasIscariotTheBird
    Total gibberish.

    I played in the state Blitz championship a month ago, and got off to a scorching start. Won three in a row, and beat a 2000+ rated with (with my Grob, no less!) and was starting to convince myself I had a minuscule shot at winning. That was not the case. I was paired with Sullivan in the next round, and got bamboozled in an end game where I had a better position (out of an Alekhine Def, of course) where he sac'd two minor pieces to promote a pawn. Fancy horsefeathers.

    Against the Steelers, no less. He looked really good.

    Weird, I was hoping the best young defensive player in the NFL would play in Green Bay for free.

    I thought the Packers were at least a step and a half below the Lions going into today. No clue about that anymore.

    Reportedly for two first round picks. Edit: And Kenny Clark. Packers also signed him to a 4 year deal.

    I know this is just a cherry-picked training camp video, but...

    So, the main gambling thing I'm currently doing is NFL best ball drafts. I enter the loto-style events, mostly on Draftkings and Underdog. There were a few drafts I did early this season that had a drafter doing truly insane horsefeathers. Like so horrible, that I assumed the drafts would be tossed for fairness reasons. (Intentionally drafting poorly allows others in the same draft to get 'unfair' value) They were not tossed , because it was Gilbert Arenas doing the drafts, and he's an Underdog influencer. I think what happened is that he tried to automate his drafts based off of rankings, but those rankings were taking QBs with his first 3-4 picks, and then TEs with the next 3-4 picks. ...the guy probably has a problem, to put it mildly.

    ...Rich Hill is in the majors?! .
  19. JudasIscariotTheBird
    That was my favorite part.

    1. Partly agreed now. Exacerbate is just wrong, though. Thank you for acknowledging what I was actually saying originally. 2. Sure, we both want all things to be great. Not sure what that has to do with anything. 3. Everything is relative.

    I didn't compare drug addiction to gambling addiction. You did. I'm comparing the regulation of their markets. The bit coin bros comment wasn't an analogy. That's the reality. And good is the enemy of perfect. Gotcha,
  22. JudasIscariotTheBird
    I'm obviously on board with restrictions on advertising. And also agreed on gas stations. Both are largely unrelated to what you've said thus far. But your last part about comparing it to drugs is beyond me. Drawing some kind of line between physical and mental agony is a difference without a distinction. And if your point is that gambling isn't as "agonizing" as drugs, that's just an argument FOR having it be legal and regulated, as I have to imagine you're in favor of drug legalization. (You were weirdly critical of legalization rollouts above, but I take it you're just letting good be the enemy of perfect for argument's sake, right?) The reason I'm comparing gambling to drugs is that they are both things that are a sink on society, but they have existed for all of human history, will continue to exist, and making them illegal and confining them to black markets is way worse than the alternative. Btw, the more restrictions the state places on gambling, the more self-driving yachts bitcoin bros gets to purchase. It's precisely as easy to say "deplatforming works" as fighting a war on drugs, and then just ignoring the outcomes.
  23. JudasIscariotTheBird
    If you actually have want to have a good-faith discussion about how gambling SHOULD be regulated, I'm game. But I'll let you start with your own suggestion for how to do that...

    This reads like a script from a covert cyrpto-bro. Turn down the volume, please.
  25. JudasIscariotTheBird
    Nancy Reagan agrees.
