I just want to say i am concerned that betting ads are shoved to us during the world cup. Its every... Single.... Time. Maybe i feel this way cause I've never placed a bet in my life?

@james85: gambling is still against the law in some states over here. So we don't see much of that.

Isn't the Lottery the same thing? And all states have it.

Seems like it. Every gas station i have ever been it had quick picks and the like. I would google it but my phone would say the web page is too big to open. Thank you Walmart and Verizion...

We actually did have some of those commercials.....sorta....used to be some that came on advertising some supposedly well known bet picker...you'd call a 900 number and get this weeks best football picks. Dont know if they still come on though...was most certainly a scam.
