It would be nice if I could watch a game without a gambling ad every 6 minutes and without them cutting to the fanduel current odds and parlays the hosts are choosing throughout the broadcast. I heard some NBA broadcasts are now putting live odds on the screen during the game. This is a classic case of the pendulum swinging too far.
Yeah, it's mainly the pervasive ads I hate. The betting lines are now some of the main talking points about the games or athletes. Almost overshadowing the game itself. I suppose it makes the sports more socially interactive with fans, but it has tremendous downside and second order effects. I think these scandals will start reducing how visible leagues want it. However it's big business, so we will have to see.
