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

KD, I don't tip the shooter when I play Craps

i dont understand why any nba fan wants to gamble, it seriously hurt the enjoyment of the game at least for me. I refuse to bet one cent on it just to fully focus on the win and loss when i watch the game, not how many rebound xxx get.

Sports betting being promoted by the sport itself is disgusting. I don't bet. I don't care if people do. But lots of ethical problems arise when the league is pushing you to bet on games and profiting from it

He's worth $300 million why does he even care what gamblers think of him💀

Even though it’s one of the most pointless endeavors ever, I appreciate how KD takes time out of his day to argue with strangers online. In another life he was a shit poster on 4chan.

Gambling might turn into matchfixing

I have no idea how people aren't embarrassed as fuck when they @ NBA players about their shitty financial decisions.

[–] illchemist@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Sports gambling attracts some of the biggest degenerate morons. Can’t take responsibility for their poor choices so they blame players. The lack of self awareness or accountability is comical and pathetic.

To everyone that make watching sports about betting:

Fuck your parlays!

Kd honestly could've become a pretty good comedian

Sports bets are popular across the world Like even in Europe sports betting on football/soccer is quite common but only in America where I’ve heard that it is as unhinged.

Wasn't there a huge scandal involving match fixing a few years ago with refs and players taking bribes for specific outcomes?

[–] getbackup21@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

That’s actually a good point lmao

[–] BodegaDaddy@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

keep thinking of the lame at the heat nets game lol

This makes no sense, if he wants a cut of the winnings he has to throw in on the pot. If he doesn't want insults, he would be giving up praise. This would be like me asking for my money back if I pay for tickets to see him and he loses.

Would you bet on wwe match ? Then why the hell would you bet in a nba game is beyond me

[–] Saucy_Totchie@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Given the NBA's past issues with betting and gambling you'd think they'd be more wary of integrating it like they've been. Would be great to see Silver explain that.

[–] Alive_Ad1256@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I forgot which podcast it was talking about sports bettors. How people can dislike a player because he didn’t hit their parlay/bet. Serious losers out there

[–] wafflehouse4@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

props to kd, fuck all this sports gambling. you listen to crappy announcers during games and then see crappy gambling ads in between. it's making me watch less nba games as a whole, and then there are these new ugly courts on top of it that cause blindness to the viewers too

[–] PettifordGang@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Sports betting is fine and should be kept separate from sports coverage and the league. Its such a terrible element now.

[–] Rawlus@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

if only there was a way to make every gambler lose on every bet, the gambling problem would then take care of itself.
