Alcohol isn’t ruining sports 

It’s ruining a lot more important aspects of life than sports, if you’re that soft about it than just skip it or don’t watch it. I never have my adds on when I watch the games anymore because of how many there are

I'm over the Prize Picks ads myself. I'll welcome Kalshi or any other ad to break up the monotony of the Prize Picks ads. I feel like i can't escape them and that they go on for days 😆

I mean doesn’t that just solidly my point? It’s not soft to voice an objectionable opinion.

We have partnered with Kalshi.

You will hear much fewer reads but see an ongoing logo. It’s an exchange for us to do not do as many reads.

Will we be getting odds for every travel game for @CJ Vogel going to the wrong airport?

Making a whole thread to whine about it is objectively pointless

It’s OU week, and what a OTF does to stay in business is their business. Look forward to better things rather than focusing on the negative

Sounds like the perfect solution to me. Thanks @Bobby Burton for making OTF the best in the business and for continuously working to keep it that way.

That’s the point of the board is to post your opinions. You calling it whining and soft and saying I’m offended doesn’t rebuttal what I’m saying.

Can you elaborate on how Kalshi has ruined sports for you?

Bobby has control over read ads and banners. Do you goobers know your butt from a hole in the ground?

 

That’s not what I’m talking about. I’m talking specifically about the ads that interrupt the streams that are posted on Apple and other podcast platforms not the ad reads and banners. No need for name calling when we’re talking about completely different things.

Sports gambling has integrated itself into every aspect of sports. We have players gambling on their own teams and it causes doubt every time you watch a bet line magically happen (like with the 2 point conversion against vandy last year). Sports gambling is one of the worst things to happen to sports.

So you think Texas is in on the fix given that two point conversion?

No but the refs might have been

Of course, because the call went against us. I suppose calls that go our way are never an issue.

It has nothing to do with it being Texas, I was just using that as an example. My point is people will see that it affected the line and it will cast doubt. Also all the NBA players recently indicted for gambling. I feel like very time you and I get into these discussions, you have no idea what I’m actually saying.

I don't care about stream ads. I skip them.

Lines have been “affected” by fluke plays and bad calls since forever. 
 

Quite frankly, legalized and above board forums like Kalshi have done more to police bad actors than the old bookie system.
