The gambling ads are non stop. I keep seeing them everywhere. So over it.

Seriously

How many of those things do we really need?

Between the sports betting and trading stuff, we now have the following for the major players:

  • DraftKings
  • FanDuel
  • PrizePicks
  • Underdog
  • Kalshi
  • Polymarket
  • Novig

They're not just ads, they're part of the broadcast and pre-game shows, too.

Imagine if you substituted it for any other dangerous legal vice like smoking or drinking instead. I am very confident gambling ads will be gone in the next decade.
