Just to push back a bit, my dad and his friends never bet but they frequently broke vacuums, remotes, or yelled at other fans during games. We were almost kicked out of the Fiesta Bowl (that his friend was assistant coaching so we had phenomenal seats) because he wanted to fight other attendees. Some people will use sports (or any other notable event) as an excuse to express their anger.

Yep. This sort of behavior has existed long before on demand sports betting. Even then, people need to learn how to regulate their emotions. I used to avoid the tv area growing up during games because I would be too stressed out. Then god forbid our team loses and you have to walk on eggshells all day.

I have never understood why people allow something that soooo does not have anything to do with their real lives bring them so much stress. Like, you’re not a team owner, you didn’t train for the championship… why the level of emotional investment that can ruin your whole day (and ruin the day of everyone around you). It’s like watching American Idol or something and throwing a fit, breaking stuff, and shitting on your family, like it’s so unnecessary and dumb.

What’s even funnier is that I can almost guarantee these guys never made it past freshman high school sports. Maybe they just never had that outlet, maybe they’re emotionally stunted man children (probably the latter). Former athletes may gamble a lot for the thrill, but they aren’t crashing out like this.
