KD continuing the trend of players getting annoyed with being spammed by sports bettors when their parlays don't hit. I doubt it'll stop anytime soon with the league continuing to expand it's connections with sports gambling

Not sure if this will help, but it might:

split team into 2 groups
one group is the "house" the other are the gamblers
use monopoly money
let them observe how the house always wins because the "games" are designed that way
ask them if they often follow along like good little sheep - because that is what they are doing by playing a game that they know is designed with the purpose for the house to win and the player to lose
Be sure to emphasize that they are not sheep, but they are, in fact, choosing to act like sheep. Why would they choose to act like sheep!? Let the sheep ride the bench while the wolves play.
check with school, etc first cause there is probably some legal form that will have to filled before this exercise can occur and learning can occur
deal with the inevitable gambling addict parent that goes full karen and whines at the school
