Legal onlinesports betting is silently ruining millions of lives

[StopSportsBetting @StopSportsBets]

I love how government, politicians, states, news, leagues like @NFL @NCAA are all ignoring that US citizens have lost $3.5 BILLION in past 7 months 95%+ wagered via new legal mobile sportsbooks and its not talked about @espn @FoxNews @CNN @WSJ @MorningBrew anyone going to report?

[StopSportsBetting @StopSportsBets]

@Steffen2121 @rsmdgolfer65 @BleacherReport For sure, I had no idea amount wagered was until I looked before banning myself.

Number of bets placed and frequency tells a lot more about someones addiction or habit vs total.

[StopSportsBetting @StopSportsBets]

@TonysYeyo @rsmdgolfer65 @BleacherReport I was a shit crazy addict after I won too much too fast in weekend and ruined all aspects of my life.

Most people on gambling twitter are addicted. Just here to warn and help others.

[StopSportsBetting @StopSportsBets]

@DavidCBets @darrenrovell For reference, I wagered several million in just 2 years on a bankroll that was never over 50k.

Wagering that much on average per day for 3 decades is hard to even comprehend toll that has had on his life.

Now they've made this possible for normal ppl sitting on their couch.

[StopSportsBetting @StopSportsBets]

Nothing like people in the business sharing it to promote betting huge and losing huge so normal people feel less bad about their actions, habits to enable them to bet bigger and lose even more.

Phil Mickelson's reported gambling habits from 2010-2014, per 'Gambler: Secrets from a Life at Risk' by Billy Walters

• Bet $110K to win $100K a total of 1,115 times
• Bet $220K to win $200K a total of 858 times
• Made 3,154 bets in 2011
• Made 43 MLB bets in a single day

[StopSportsBetting @StopSportsBets]

@ActionNetworkHQ Nice way for you to normalize losing huge amounts betting so as you can see all people replying feel less bad about losing $1000, $10,000, $100,000 until they lose sense of reality.

[StopSportsBetting @StopSportsBets]

@stoolgambling Only real sports betting addicts take joy and make jokes in hearing stories like this

[StopSportsBetting @StopSportsBets]

And now we have legal mobile sports betting apps running like legal drug cartels for normal people to have access to ruining their lives secretly sitting on their couch. Yet all government, companies continue to ignore it.

Just look at your states numbers on citizens losings.

[Bleacher Report @BleacherReport]

Over the last three decades, Phil Mickelson allegedly:

@BleacherReport This post and thread really shows how bad people are addicted.

Legal Mobile Sports Betting is making it even worse cause enables normal people to lose $10,000 , $100,000 , 1 Million sitting on their couch doing it in silence.

Once again one play or penalty going your way or not going your way is luck. This is why sports betting is luck. It’s an addiction cause ppl think otherwise

People who bet chiefs actually think they’re a genius because timely call went in their favor. #stopsportsbets

#SuperBowl

[StopSportsBetting @StopSportsBets]

@DrDavidClements It’s a silent addiction can hide from everyone use from bed infinitely until one day you’ve lost everything.

Twitter really shows the mass addictive state of ppl. It’s impacting an unbelievable # of people…with zero restrictions on promos, advertising, bet limits, # of bets

[StopSportsBetting @StopSportsBets]

@Montyhillington It’s the equivalent of drug cartel or dealer giving you cocaine and then after have all your information they contact you asking if want more and most of time they keep giving you more for ‘free’ until eventually you’re addicted. There’s zero restrictions and it’s insane

[StopSportsBetting @StopSportsBets]

Nothing will show current state of legal mobile sports betting addiction like twitter is right now over the Super Bowl. Betting First TD scorers or coin toss are the beginning of addiction that will ruin your life.

People think those bets are skill all over twitter #SuperBowl

[StopSportsBetting @StopSportsBets]

@MartinSLewis Imagine alcohol ads that gave you free alcohol for referring all your friends to drink or do cocaine except you could empty your entire bank account on it the first day silently without anyone knowing you consumed anything.

[StopSportsBetting @StopSportsBets]

When will celebs like @KevinHart4real realize he’s ruined thousands of lives by his involvement with drug cartel equivalent Draftkings advertising - making it lighthearted joke fun geared toward families

Really is pathetic - they’ll promote anything for money. #GamblingTwitter

[StopSportsBetting @StopSportsBets]

@redsnoopy69 Look at your or any state that’s legal and can clearly see billions being lost, wagers continually increase and they call that ‘Revenue’ growth a positive thing…it’s SILENT addiction you can hide it’s a massive problem getting worse daily.

[StopSportsBetting @StopSportsBets]

@IKnowThings4 @OTG_bets @BradPowers7 It normalizes large bets, makes people dream of betting bigger, a lot associate that $ being related to betting, and makes all people who lost feel a little better about their $50 $500 $5,000 loss.

To put it simply, these posts like almost all help promote creating addiction.

[StopSportsBetting @StopSportsBets]

@br_betting @Vincenz0Brien @FDSportsbook Being that close or not is irrelevant and just fuels the massive betting addiction of people who say “I was just 1 pick away from big man c’mon!”

That’s why odds are what they are��only winning is quitting.

All wins including big ones are just future losses unless you quit.

[StopSportsBetting @StopSportsBets]

It really saddens me to see that #GamblingTwitter is full of addicts…the number of people selling picks on twitter and TikTok to fuel their addiction.

This silent epidemic of legal mobile sports betting is completely out of control.

How does everyone keep ignoring this?

[StopSportsBetting @StopSportsBets]

@0xUnbased Only addicts stream gambling to help fuel their addiction by their addicted followers that help fuel it.

There is no exception. People also sell picks to fuel their addiction.

Online gambling results in an addiction at a rapid and alarming speed.
