House always wins. Gambling is dumb

I hate what gambling can do to people. I knew a guy who was addicted to slot machines, seeing his eyes glaze over while he was playing, being unable to get him away from the machine. It sucked.

Love how they promote gambling and have Chuck’s parlays before the game “yes!” as the 4 stats are read off, and then the first quarter Kenny/Chuck pick ‘em with who is going to win or score X points. And the patented guarantee that is so often wrong.
With a guy who has a gambling addiction.
I don’t bet, but it’s so painfully obvious that this peddling of gambling during every sporting event is going to ruin so many lives because people think they can win their way out of debt.
Most people don’t even know what plays coaches run or can decide on which players are good or not, you think they’re making informed betting decisions on the outcome of games? When they don’t even watch half of them anyway?
This is like the least shocking news

Gambling is an addiction and sports leagues are turning a blind eye to that fact because they want the advertising money. It’s a shame

It’s funny because last night I bought a bike for $25 from someone who just wanted to unload it. It needs work and I really wasn’t looking for a project bike, but I thought to myself “at that price, it’s basically a single hand of blackjack that went bad”. Man would I love to see the kind of bike that a Charles Barkley hand of blackjack could buy.

Well he’ll just have to keep on working for TNT.

What’s funny is how he complains that today’s nba players are paid too much money, and then he goes ahead and does this

Gambling is a tax on the poor and the stupid

Then its irresponsible to have Chuck promote sports betting when he has a problem

As others have said here – how (ir)responsible of him to lure others with an issue like his by promoting in-game parlays with Draft Kings.

No wonder he’s still letting TNT work him like a dog!

They don’t build those multibillion dollar casinos because gamblers win money Chuck

Watching chuck make his sports predictions, this is entirely believable.

And chuck is a multimillionaire, imagine how the 9-5 or 10-10 low class workers who have gambling shoved down their throats daily feel
Recently I saw an ad for a gambling app that pushed its safe gambling features as a selling point. It made me think of cigarettes advertising filters as a health benefit.

Did anyone not watch Broke on ESPN?
They had a clip of Barkley from late 90’s straight up say he has lost close to $10 million dollars.
Thats money just gone and never coming back. He didnt spend it on housing investments or giving back to the community or buying a new maternity ward in a hospital; he just burned all that cash.
Gambling sucks

When it undoubtedly comes, the NBA gambling scandal is going to be massive. There’s just way too many young people with way too much money with the ability to directly influence game outcomes for there not to be a huge game fixing risk.
