If only people learnt about statistical edge and expected value of bets, they would discover the value of each lottery ticket, most sports bets or any other gambling, has negative value. This means the more you play, the more certain it becomes that you WILL LOSE money, far more than any you have "earned". Great video. I hope your channel and those like it that discuss actual important issues rather than smut and sugar babies do well.

I’m from America, and I’m very fascinated by South Africa. I see parts of us in your country, but it’s also so vastly different.

Out of curiosity, what are the similarities you see?

I became considered when i saw all these new betting adverts on tv that when I knew yah the these companies are make alot of money . Which makes this statement true "The house always wins".

Yep yep and yep, the house always wins. As for me I never liked gambling, even from my young age. I mean I used to see guys playing dice and abomama playing amakhadi kodwa as for me I never liked that. Gambling is one of the worst addictive things ever.

How would you convince a domestic worker who plays with R5 and wins R70 million that she's wasting money?

I live in Western Australia, where poker machines are banned outside of the one casino, and even then there's still a huge sports betting culture, you'd see people on the clock at work placing bets on sports they barely understood like ice hockey. Like with smoking and drinking, I feel like it starts with parents a lot of the time and I'm very glad that my dad never gambled the same way he never drank much or smoked, cos it's never felt normal to me, it's something that I had to go out of my way to interact with as opposed to learning how to at home. Unfortunately you just can't stop dads from betting around kids the way you could with smoking

This is great. I hadn't thought of talking about socialization from an upbringing and family POV. Betting while at work is wild stuff. Have you seen the actual impact of regulatory changes in Australia? Are things getting better at all?

@albertmiller2electricbooga897 21 күн бұрын

@@TheEntries well the nationwide regulatory changes have really only started in the last two or so years, but there are still betting ads through most sports broadcasts and on social media. Unfortunately betting companies are market leaders in marketing and have all the tricks in the book to get women and minorities and non sports fans into it. I'm not sure how socially. taboo betting is there but here at my gym I saw the work experience kid talking about basketball bets with his manager, so yeah pretty casual

My mate grew up in Mozambique and told me abt Aviator, how seriously do people take it? Is it just a chance thing like roulette or do people play with a strategy? I thought it was pretty odd but I guess you have as much control over it as a horse race just with less decision-making

@TheEntries 21 күн бұрын

People know their chances are pretty low but the allure is too much. A lot of money is lost there.
