So painful I hate gambling ads I cannot support or watch anyone who runs them So. Much. Pain. Inflicted. Thank you for speaking out. Very well-made video.
This channel having 20k subs is insane. Everything about this channel FEELS like a 1m plus subscriber channel. It’s only a matter of time and consistency…
“don’t forget to hit subscribe cause otherwise you won’t find me” was the smartest thing you could say to get me to sub. this video is so good and i’m excited for more
Good little example for how addictions work as well. You always think “my sibling could never do this”, my friend could never do this”. You just never know
I don’t have a problem with gambling itself, but the way it’s been promoted in recent years has been disgusting. I hate that when i watch the pregame show i see chuck showing his awful picks. i hate seeing the 15 draft kings or fanduel commercials every game. i hate how almost EVERY basketball content creator i watch is sponsored by a gambling app. genuinely tired of this shit man. Adam Silver truly will do what makes the league the most money and i get it, it’s a business. It’s just disturbing that they’ll promote something that’s quite literally ruining the lives of millions of their fans, and as we seen with Porter even the leagues own players.
There’s a reason gambling addiction has the highest rate of people killing themselves, more than drugs or alcohol or any other addiction. This is only going to end badly. I personally like the play blackjack so I’m not against gambling completely but it being so widespread and pushed everywhere you look is going to end with people being broke and killing themselves. There’s no putting the toothpaste back in the tube now tho.
I thought this vid had 375k views and it made sense with the editing and quality, BUT ONLY 375??? Man you deserve more , your channel def gonna blow up soon
People like XQC are a good example of why gambling is basically doing cocaine. Don’t gamble, live life dangerously, don’t resort to money betting to replace living dangerously. It’s a big escapism from life-that you may never get out of, for unlike cocaine, it actually benefits your living or ruins it, a 50% bet in reality.
Idk everyones gona have their vice. But people need to understand that gambling is a vice where you are much more likely to go to 0 than have it benefit you. Its not close to 50% at all, which im sure you know, but i felt like i had to point it out. House has the ultimate advantage.
Haven’t commented on a TH-cam video since elementary school. Felt like it was necessary to shout out how well made this is. From the editing, to the script, the way the information explained to the viewers. Great work, def gonna blow up soon.
This is the best video on sports gambling and the NBA I've seen. Most just scratch the surface, but you went above and beyond. There aren't many NBA TH-camrs who will go as far as to interview a gambling addiction expert to get insight into the psychology behind the gambling.
This is one of the best NBA-centric video essays I've ever seen that tackled the issues around the league! Know that we appreciate your well-researched work.
This was more comprehensive than I thought it would be, getting different perspectives from everyone affected. I love a bit of chaos, but it's always good to come across a well structured video on an important topic
How is this video not blowing up more? Just got it recommended and it’s some great journalism and really needs to be pushed out there. We should start boycotting all content creators who advertise sports better sites. It’s insane what they do.
This is such a well done and powerful video. I keep searching for voices that are willing to condemn these leagues for the crisis they have caused, and those are sadly not very common. I die a little inside every time a sports youtuber or former athlete I watch or respect does a sponsorship. I get why it happens, but this feels so overwhelming. I thankfully have avoided any gambling myself, but this transformation and the cultural shift around it enrages me. That final point you made is so SO important. The problem here is not just the integrity of the game, it is the fact that we are encouraging people, kids in particular, to partake in something dangerous and possibly life-altering. I will see people I otherwise respect, acknowledge the harm gambling causes to players like Pete Rose and Michael Jordan and how destructive it is, only to turn around and say "well my sponsors are not selling the service to players" as if that destructiveness is bad because it changes odds and not because it ruins lives. We as a society are so ready and willing to throw thousands and thousands of kids who's brains have not even finished developing, into the trash. Keep up this kind of work and this level of righteousness.
This is a great video. The fact that you have experts and people who have first hand experience of these issues really shows the maturity of your content. Please keep it up you are bound to blow up.
Great essay. It will be rare to see video docs like this one see the day of light on larger channels. Good on you. You have my vote and sub for taking this on.
really great and high quality content, genuinely informational, genuinely informative that needs to get out there. THANK U KEEP IT UP u deserve to thrive!
Always happy to see more high quality NBA youtubers pop up. Your videos also cover some pretty different topics from a lot of the other amazing NBA content creators and more like things surrounding the NBA which I really like. Keep doing you man it's only a matter of being consistent with vids and you'll def grow a lot.
I wish more people were talking about this topic. Really excellent video in every way. I feel like I’m subscribing on the ground floor of a channel that’s gonna be huge.
Nahhhhb this mf really brought in an expert and mfs with real experience. This is what TH-cam was always designed to become. You are a future star my friend
about a week ago i binged your channel and its astounding that you dont have more of a following. In my opinion this was your best video you've put out so far. I'm here at 21.7k, but you'll get to 100k, and maybe even 1 million someday if you keep this up. nice work
This video is very well constructed and makes every bit of information you are giving clear, the information has depth and the video flows smooth from point to point connecting it all like those dot to dot drawings. Speaking of Dot w intro 🤐
Amazing piece. You've earned yourself a new subscriber. Someday I hope to be in a position to collaborate with creators and journalists like yourself. Great work!
Thought this video blew up already and that’s why I saw it, but turns out I saw it because I watched a previous video that blew up. Keep up the good work big dawg, you’re goin places
Amazing video! suprised by just 8k views, the production, the script, the pacing, everything is great! keep moving i'm sure theres a lot of success right around the corner
i see what ur saying but tbh, nahhhh, i played cards and gambled at 10 wit friends so it’s common to see gambling in america left and right, i shit dice at 15
They are, and the worst thing about that, is that other companies that has nothing to do with games are also using the same tactics (HP, BMW, just to name a few).
Thank you for making this video, you did a fantastic job making a succinct explanation of the realities of sports betting and its effects. I got my first taste of it way back on csgolounge betting on Counter-Strike matches. Ended up just ditching the betting and kept following the sport, because that’s the thing that we should really be investing ourselves into when to comes to watching these games/matches/events/etc. I find it disappointingly cynical to only watch or follow a game because you placed a bet on it. At that point, you’re watching a roulette wheel for 2+ hours on a Thursday night. I’d much rather enjoy a competition simply for the love of the game. If it doesn’t go the way I hoped, oh well, doesn’t affect me outside of maybe being a bit disappointed in my team or upset with officiating, but none of that matters like money does. Looking forward to your next video.
Been enjoying your videos! keep it up! Also yeah, it's actually pretty disturbing to see the change in perception of gambling because of these marketing and such.
This deserves more attention. Gambling's consuming America like a wildfire. And sir, you have done a really, really, really good job. You deserve to be seen sir. Got me subscribed, keep up the good work!
Keep grinding , you’ll get the subs …I didn’t know about the Porter family …seeing the brother who got sentenced after that DUI ..I was like damn …the best and worst genetics ..I felt that
I am someone who has an addictive personality and has been addicted to many substances my whole life. The one addiction I don’t have and the one blessing I acknowledge is that I am not prone to gambling even through massive exposure through going to casinos with my friends. Gambling addiction truly is the worst addiction
going to revisit this in 3yrs - gambling addiction is diff from others bc it is infinitely scalable ie you can keep going into debt vs at least w drugs food etc your body has a limit. may god have mercy on us all.
Man your leg work for these interviews is incredible. Getting academic experts, foreign dignitaries and recovering addicts is the real story that people arent telling. And they're useful instead of just "big gets" that make people watch just for a 10 second snippet of you talking to a celebrity. I know that might sound backhanded but its not. You're definitely on the right track to make it big if you keep this level of integrity up.
Postponed a week to give K-Dot some air 🤣 enjoy the video though, sorry took so long to get out 🙏🏿
wop wop wop wop wop
Understandable
Appreciate you not stepping on his toes 🙌
insane video bro, great quality and great message
Buddy lost the beef, get over it
this channel gonna blow up. stay consistent with this level of good content im telling you 100K subs in no time
My new favorite basketball channel
So painful
I hate gambling ads
I cannot support or watch anyone who runs them
So. Much. Pain. Inflicted.
Thank you for speaking out. Very well-made video.
This channel having 20k subs is insane. Everything about this channel FEELS like a 1m plus subscriber channel. It’s only a matter of time and consistency…
agree this is extremely high quality and actually well done and informational… not just overdone production without substance. he should thrive
“don’t forget to hit subscribe cause otherwise you won’t find me” was the smartest thing you could say to get me to sub. this video is so good and i’m excited for more
"Ive known my brother my entire life.." yea, that's kinda how brothers work
Good little example for how addictions work as well. You always think “my sibling could never do this”, my friend could never do this”. You just never know

you did a wonderful job getting lawmakers and professors together on this topic!
The quality of the editing, the writing, the interviews, it's all so good. Seeing this only at 30k views has me appalled. This deserves a few million
Someday, hopefully! 🙏🏿
Great content. Glad someone's talking about it. New sub!
Unusually high quality video given your subcount. Keep it up and you'll blow eventually
This video is very well constructed and makes every bit of information you are giving clear, the information has depth and the video flows smooth from point to point connecting it all like those dot to dot drawings. Speaking of Dot w intro 🤐
Your channel is wildly underrated good shit man
Amazing piece. You've earned yourself a new subscriber. Someday I hope to be in a position to collaborate with creators and journalists like yourself. Great work!
Great video! Gambling is legal in Australia and it is huge problem. It is sad seeing it legalised in the US.
This channel is sick, keep it up man, im hooked
Thought this video blew up already and that’s why I saw it, but turns out I saw it because I watched a previous video that blew up. Keep up the good work big dawg, you’re goin places

i unironically think that EA sports with fifa ultimate team and all of its variants are at least partially responsible for this

Thank you! And yes, the change was quite abrupt
your videos's quality are getting really good !
i basically skip every Nba video that starts with draftking sponsor .
This deserves more attention. Gambling's consuming America like a wildfire. And sir, you have done a really, really, really good job. You deserve to be seen sir. Got me subscribed, keep up the good work!
Thank you, hope to see you in future vids!🫡

W video! Sports gambling is a plague that must end.
20:23 great metaphor. can apply to so many other arguments as well where the oversimplified solution is always "oh just legalize it"
subbed, I like the way you did this video
Top tier educational video, keep it up! 🔥💯
Appreciate it!

love your videos bro keep going
Bro it’s crazy that no TH-camr has made a video about this. They are all sell outs. Deadass ur the first creator that I’ve seen who is addressing this
I'm giving up my future draftkings sponsorship for this 🤣
going to revisit this in 3yrs - gambling addiction is diff from others bc it is infinitely scalable ie you can keep going into debt vs at least w drugs food etc your body has a limit. may god have mercy on us all.
