I think it was here(?) where somebody, maybe @jolly was talking about this and the "micro bets" (that were mentioned in the article) and how a problem they are, as now individuals are getting harassed a lot of gamblers because they didn't make a shot, score a goal, etc.

I've said it before, but there's a casino on my drive in to work. If I sit at the junction I can predict with a pretty high level of accuracy which people are going to turn into the casino simply based on the state of their car. The closer to 'shitbox' the car is, the higher the chances are.
God only knows what happens to these people online. As far as there being winners and losers goes, it's so obvious that the only people who win are the people running the sites.

Gambling sites are a huge chunk of the ads one sees in sports content online. The creators do their reads telling their subscribers about all the big winners they recently had. They get the ad revenue and magically never think about the sad source of that money. Financially doomed gambling addicts.

Maybe Donald Trump will address this evil that so badly affects America. Because he's looking out for the little people.

Gambling addiction is sad. (Well, any addiction is). I remember reading the story of some pretty famous sports guy (I think a US football player) who was a gambling addict, even while playing, and how it ruined his life. Things like stealing from his parents to get money, etc.
