I wish they didn't make cartoons that glorified violence. It's a terrible influence on our society...yada yada At the end of the day, the world isn't made for only you. There are reasonable times to get upset or voice displeasure, this is definitely on the lower end of that spectrum.

I don’t like prize picks, but Kalshi isn’t only sports. Like others have said you can bet on politics, economics, tech, weather etc. It adds another layer that expands on the ethical considerations. Sports gambling in general is horrible for the game and I wish yall didn’t sponsor it, but it doesn’t bother me the same as Kalshi.

Are you also upset by Prize Picks or an ad about Las Vegas? Or is it Kalshi specifically? Kalshi has a lower % than both of those places fwiw.

Slow start

Ok.

you get that people like Burton, Hamilton, Howe, and the long list of folks hustling every single day to get you insider news takes money right? You think your few bucks a month alone covers all that???

Man John Stockton and Steve Nash sure were fast. They blew by their defenders with ease. Luka sure blows by people all the time.

I didn’t claim it was your view. You weren’t the original poster of this post (OP)

Yeah ik you didn’t idk where he got that from dw. you have been keeping it strictly sports.

Does the legal penalty determine the level of ethics?

Yea not sure where that came from cuz it certainly wasn’t me lmao.

I never compared Kalshi to prostitution lol. I do believe Kalshi is unethical, but it’s hard to compare those 2 subjects. Kalshi is problematic for a whole other set of reasons.

Yes please

That would be your view. Not mine.

I'm personally very selective about who I can watch Texas games with, and it's not a big group. I would rather watch a game with an opposing team's knowledgeable fans than with our own t-shirt or casual fans. Being in a bar is more fun. In fact, I would say watching it in a bar around more of opposing team's fans is more fun for me to a degree, even if we lose. I just can't be around our own fans that can't match my intensity when it comes to Texas football.

Tf kind of escalation is that😭, not even close to the same level of crime.

LMAO

Ou sucks

The point of this post is OTF has endorsed Kalshi, which OP has stated (and I agree) is as unethical as prostitution.

Yes no and no

Do you vote? Because that is exerting control over others

It’s not that deep I promise you that😭 this is a fricking Texas fan club at heart. All those things you listed below OTF hasn’t endorsed in any way shape or form nor does it correlate to anything said in this thread.

Ou sucks

Except unlike most olds I support allowing people to live their lives as they see fit and not how others want them to.

I actually think DraftKings or something like that is where to draw the line. Being able to place bets on world affairs, anything and everything, is incredibly unethical and problematic imo. Yes, I get this is done with good intentions of making payroll. But that is an “ends justify the means” approach. Have to ask yourself if the ends justify your means, or if morals and ethics do.
