    Wonder if they offer him a cut when he wins

    Man it’s a really good attitude from White that he can just laugh at this depraved, dangerous shit. In my opinion this video is utterly grotesque and constitutes a massive failure by all governing bodies allowing gambling to dominate sports like this. It’s fucked up, unsustainable, and gross.

    I like how that guy’s ultimate threat was “or I’ll stop betting on you”

    Like…ok?

    Every single state should follow New York’s lead and tax gambling winnings at 50%

    Most set their rates at 20-30%

    I feel like this gets posted constantly and the mods always remove it.

    Sports gambling should never have been legalized

  7. Gamblers are scum. The point of sports is to enjoy them, not risk your life on them

    I guarantee the guy that ‘lost’ $780 didn’t bet that amount or close to it.

    I really understood how gambling think works when a guy told me years ago he lost $450 on the footy here in Australia years ago. Whoa, you bet $450 on a game! Nah, I bet $80.

    This video was sponsored by DraftKings bet $50 on Derrick White and get $200 to bet against him!

    Got to laugh at how broke these gambling degens are

    Anecdotal and modern social media being bigger than ever aside, but I’m almost certain the amount/frequency of fans going directly after players with threats and horrific comments is only going to get worse. Not to mention betting apps being pushed to everyone (teenagers included), so the next generation of a pervasive, easily caught addiction is well on the way.

    And professional sports leagues in bed with Draft Kings and whoever else couldn’t care less 🤗 which is not the same as these companies existing independently

    These gambling companies should be obligated to have a hotline/text line where athletes can forward messages like this and try to get people’s accounts banned.

    Are the people asking for money going to give him a cut when they win their bet?

  15. HBdrunkandstuff

    This shit is an addiction and it fucking ruins people’s lives. This shit is gonna go real south with someone desperate and the nba will have nobody to blame but themselves.

    I just had a comment yesterday about these player prop bets. We already saw what happened with johntay porter but I think at some point a deranged fan is going to attack a player over a prop parlay bet.

    Even though I fall on the side of believing that sports betting should be legal, player props are unfortunately incredibly toxic and lead to a lot of this kind of harassment by addicts who can’t learn to bet responsibly. I’m glad at least some states are starting to ban player props on college athletes, it’s a start.

    I can’t figure out what slur “h*e” is 🙁
