I actually enjoy sports gambling, and since its been legal and the apps hit, I have won more than I've lost over the past what, 3-4 years now. Not a lot more, but enough to where I haven't had to deposit money in a few years. Call it an entertaining hobby, my goal isn't to make real money, just to feel smug about being smarter than the odds-makers.

I completely agree with you. Watching gambling ads makes me irrationally angry. They should absolutely, 100% be banned from advertising, similarly/identical to cigarettes. Nuke them from orbit.
