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

Why would you angry DM a player for your shitty bet? I love sports betting but I know any losses are on my choice to bet.

[–] ton_nanek@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

KD if I'm playing you and bink a tourney, expect some $ in that cashapp account

[–] Fofjaavdj@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Maybe get off social media if you don't want to hear from the peanut gallery

[–] No_Reason5341@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Legacy points added. I fucking love KD.

[–] Gang_Gang_Onward@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

common KD social media W

if i was a pro baller id make a post laughing at all the degenerates that lost after every game

[–] Pikminious_Thrious@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Man what kind of wild bet are people taking that KD scoring like 40 points fails their parlay?

[–] JameisWeTooScrong@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

These are human beings and no matter how pissed you get at them there should never be an attempt at contacting them to express your frustration. That’s some lowlife shit right there.

[–] kcheng686@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Ez fix, give every player 1% of the winnings if a parlay hits

Totally no drawbacks to this plan

/S

KD is the twitter GOAT

Gambling has always been an issue but there's going to be a gambling addiction epidemic in the next decade. The high school kids I coach, who aren't even of age to gamble, are already putting way too money on sports games. I try to make them see that it isn't a good idea, but they're in it already. It's a plague.

Have you see the slots at a casino don’t think it’s changed much through the ages

Been there done that. Spammed a tennis player from Myanmar's DM because he screwed up 10 match points. Not proud of it

[–] oZiix@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

KD with the efficient Tweet

[–] mmaguy123@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Legacy points added. I’d say this puts him at #1 in the mvp race

I have no qualms about the legality or morality of sports betting itself.

However, sports media getting more and more sports betting-centric over the last few years has been so fucking annoying.

[–] boogswald@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

People talk more about sports betting than they do small market teams! And I get that’s what people want to hear but it still sucks

[–] polymorph505@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

You should have qualms about it. The dopamine hit from skinner boxes is the same hit keeping people addicted to their phones and social media.

[–] MrDozens@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

You cant turn on anything without hearing the line.

Idk if I was in his shoes I'd be pretty annoyed constantly having verbal abuse thrown my way because some adultkids were upset they lost money on their own choices.

[–] quadropheniac@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (4 children)

Sports betting is a cancer to actual sports performance. It's fine if you do it but nobody who doesn't bet gives a shit about it, especially the players.

Also, prop bets are basically Goodhart's Law in action. Why would a coach care if one of his players has a low statistical night if they can get the win a different way.

This is why we can't have nice things. If you want to bet be my guest, I would even dabble from time to time if it was legal where I am. But the fact the it's infested coverage of sports sucks, and the fact that people will abuse players when things don't hit, as if their obligation is to get you paid instead of help their team win, is just ridiculous. Humans ruin everything I guess.

kd post-warriors has become pretty damn likeable not gonna lie.

[–] Wd527@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (4 children)

I love my team so much I don’t want to bet on them lol. I don’t want to mix my money with my sports. I have enough bad habits.

People complaining to players over their shorty bets are complete losers.

If I could defend my guy here… I don’t want anybody betting on if I clear my audit at work either. That’s just a weird situation. Your money is riding on my performance in a specific situation. That bet is on you, not me.

I usually don’t like KD but he’s speaking facts on this. So many athletes receive hatemail and death threats for not coming through on parlays or whatever (I don’t sports gamble). People can gamble if they want but those degenerate gamblers need to stfu

[–] lets_talk_basketball@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

lol I feel like this would be illegal.

[–] Evening_Complaint469@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

This is actually hilarious. I agree with KD here and people getting angry at their bets losing are probably betting more than they should

[–] saw-it@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Wonder what KD’s cash app balance is sitting at

[–] MrGrief@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (3 children)

I wouldn't have thought Durant uses cashapp

Lmao does KD know that would be illegal 🤣 his point stands but come on Kevin

[–] thedrcubed@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Ridiculous. I hate sports betting so much. You would think that the NBA would know better after Tim Donaghy. Not to say that fixes didn't happen before but with betting everywhere now I guarantee its happening

[–] Doomdoomkittydoom@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I remember way back when congress had some panel on some sports scandal, maybe the baseball steroids? Anyway, I laughed at it.

Now I genuinely believe major league sports and sports betting should fall under a government agency like ATF and/or DEA.

[–] MikeyBastard1@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I know this is reddit and this place tends to be an echo chamber regarding most topics. This particular topic though bugs me to no end. I honestly wouldn't mind sports gambling if it wasn't so in your face.

The start of the game brought to you by Draft Kings! The Fanduel halftime show. Sham breaking news sponsored by FanDuel. This player is shooting free throws so its time to show you the over/unders for today. Welcome to JomboyMedia sponsored by Draft King. Today were playing Madden brought to you by BetMGM. The FanDuel Postgame show. Bet 5 dollars and you COULD win 1000000 dollars ^(see terms)

It's so crazy to see how normal it is becoming to pushing such a harmful addiction onto people.

[–] nicklovin508@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Uh KD if we did that you’d get suspended for a year minimum lol

[–] Shmimbadad@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (3 children)

I would love to see a player fuck up a popular parlay on purpose, then openly rub it in after the game. Like, post game interview: "what was up with that brainfart pass into the stands on the final possession?" Player: "well the game was decided at that point, and I knew that there was a common parlay relying on me finishing with less than 3 turnovers, so I wanted to ruin that. Suck on it, degenerate gambling addicts."

[–] apussyassbitch@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The people I know who love mainstream sports betting are the biggest pow no-friends-left having anti-social alcoholic boring and depraved people on the planet.

Bruh how is he bothered? He has multiple accounts to be worried about

[–] VicktoriousVICK@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

People who only talk about their parlays, or what bets they made on games, are the biggest losers out there. Cut them out of your life if you associate with these type of brain dead individuals

[–] Impossible_Joke9645@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

He's not wrong

[–] gothicaly@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Well duh. Thats how gambling works. Why he catching feels over it

[–] mrb4@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I like to bet occasionally and when I lose I feel dumb enough already. I don't need to go compound that stupidity by then going on social media and publicly blaming my issue on someone who isn't responsible.
