I thought this was an old story at first. How is this even possible? 3/4 brothers are complete deadbeats

Where did this "NEW" brother pop up from? haha that's a badly worded tweet.

Morons, the lot of them.

Jontay is the least toxic. Fired for behaviour unbecoming of NBA conduct provisions. Did not put other drivers at risk. Did not kill anyone. But he failed to make the 10 mil I gathered was his haul. 28k. Dummy!!!

My kids aren't 8 years old anymore, but how comfortable are people sitting down with their child to watch a game and be bombarded with gambling ads?

Its disgusting. My son actually mentions jackpot city as if he thinks it's a real place. I told him jackpot city is where degenerates live


Stream with adblocker. Other than scratch and win and 649 online gambling is deplorable. It is like some people bringing VLTs from those shady bars to their own home sites or android domains. We've just lost the plot. At least with legal Cannabis we know it is not as dangerous as solvent alcohol. It is for sure a use at own risk proposition but not physically addictive. Gambling is Operant Conditioning 101. A learning process where voluntary behaviours are modified by association with the addition (or removal) of reward. Random reinforcement pf reward only leads to greater obsessing of the potential reward. The fix.

The funny thing is that Jontay always come across in interviews and stories (I think Blake did a story, or maybe it was Grange) as a sincere and hard-working kid who had overcame many obstacles to get into the league. And he could really play. His game against Denver - against his brother - was so good, he helped us almost win it. His defence on Jokic was a revelation.

But he wilfully cheated the guys who bet the over in those two games. Not as toxic, but still toxic.

Jontay looked like college boy to me. Figured he would be in business in some capacity once bubbleville dtried up. There were white collar criminals who did time who taught courses at Western. Jontay should go back to school there is def a light on but no moral compass. All gamblers gamble to lose. Gambling drives their bus.

One time we were in Reno. We played slots until dinner for all was won. Then we had rodeo dinner and kept driving away from Nevada.

I'm not hating or judging but man alive casinos are depressing places. I've gone with family a couple of times and felt like an outsider. Lost 5 bucks in 5 minutes and thought, yup, this is not for me. Didn't know were to look as everyone else was staring at machines. I told my family members next time they could go enjoy themselves and I'll wait at a sports pub. Waste my money on draft beer and chicken wings instead hehe.

We have a small casino in our small rural town. There is a buffet restaurant in the casino with the name, wait for it . . . . ."The Buffet." It is quite good and obviously subsidized by the losses on the floor because the prices are quite good.

There is clear plexiglass between the restaurant seating and the gamblers. You can watch them lose their souls as you eat. A slots guy had a considerable win, a couple thousand dollars. He wasn't happy at all. We were dumbfounded by the lack of excitement. The only explanation was that he had already lost more than that.
