Do we have a thread for when the government pushes commercials and billboards for lotto-max and 649 down our throats?
Sure, wasn’t it not available a little before with filling out circles in a gas station but without it being thrown down our throats every commercial
Break and now literally sewn into the jerseys?

I never listened to the fan 960 and they used to spend a half hour each day telling me what numbers for the 649 I should choose and from what gas station I should pick them up from.



With betting, they make 90% of their money from 10% of their clients. They prey on addicts. It is no different from tobacco or alcohol which was removed from being allowed to be advertised from them.

It’s disgusting how they are normalizing it for the next generation, it’s absolutely dispicable. Using a game where children look up to hero’s and advertising to them gambling each and every second, it absolutely disgusts me.

Lives are ruined by this. It has ruined professional sports, there was a reason it was illegal, and somehow before, people still watched sports.


Absolutely dispicable
