Gambling site ads are a bit overwhelming in number

[Randomguy]

Holy crap, it is nothing but Fanduel and Draftking ads before football games.

Are you seeing the same thing?

The ads for Draftkings is all screaming "$1,000 sign-up bonus".   Here is the real offer:

*A user's first deposit (min. $5) made between 6/2/20 - 9/30/20 qualifies the user to receive up to $500 in bonus funds in the form of site credits that can only be used on DraftKings. Bonus amount is equal to 20% of that deposit amount, not to exceed $500 (the user must deposit $2,500 to be eligible to receive the maximum possible bonus amount of $500). Bonus funds will be awarded to the user according to the following play-through requirement: for every $25 played on DraftKings in DFS/Sportsbook/Casino, the user will receive $1 in bonus funds released into their player account (e.g., a $2,500 deposit requires a user to play through a cumulative total of $12,500 in daily fantasy contests, sportsbook (-300 odds or longer), casino products, or any combination thereof to receive the maximum possible bonus amount of $500). The play-through requirement must be met 90 days from the date of first deposit to receive maximum bonus. After such date, you are ineligible to earn any additional bonus funds as part of this promotion. Limit one (1) deposit bonus per user. Users who made a deposit between 5/1/20 - 6/1/20 and received a deposit bonus offer are ineligible for this promotion. Promo ends 9/30/20. First bet matched up to $500. Free bet must be used within 30 days of first bet. Free bet amount is not included in any returns or winnings. Free bet is also not redeemable for cash, non-transferable, and non-refundable. First bet promo ends 9/30/20.

I have a friend who downloads the games with all commercial content already edited out.  It is pretty nice to watch a game that way.

No. One of the many benefits of ignoring futbal. There used to be a lot on normal tv but they have gotten elbowed oot by the much worse political ads.

I'm beyond disgusted with the misleading Fanduel and Draftkings ads that are now embraced by the NFL, CBS, Yahoo, ESPN, etc. where the vast majority of betters lose money and that's not only carefully hidden information, misleading information like free betting and % winning goes on.

The Fanduel and Draftkings ads on TV used to say 80% of contestants win.  Of course, they're including the vast majority that win sometimes but lose more often and are net losers.  Eventually the FCC or an agency like it made them take those away.

Now you have talk show hosts on the NFL Network promoting the football gambling sites.

Disgustingly, CBS went into it big-time, listing gambling picks and odds, etc. for Fanduel. So does NFL Network and ESPN's top fantasy guru, Matt Berry, is an official employee of one of those two betting outfits.

If you play fantasy football at one of the major sites, you can't get away from it this year!  When you look at your fantasy teams at CBS, now they list the Las Vegas betting odds with your players.  What a great way to introduce the teenagers playing fantasy football to sports gambling - endorsed by CBS!

Even the sites that provide free info and made their money by offering more extensive info for $, are now integrating sports betting into fantasy football:
