- 0:00 Yo, Connor, I think you're making some great points about uh sports gambling and sports betting.
- 0:05 Um I think it's a very bad issue.
- 0:08 Uh and it's only been an issue in the past couple years, but I think the laws are just not set up to um help people like it it's set the laws are set up to really just have a lot of people lose money.
- 0:23 Um my brother especially has lost a lot of money sports gambling, and he's not even the legal age to sports gamble.
- 0:31 I think it that's a really big issue is like a lot of kids who are in like high school are able to like use their parents' IDs or um use like their br older siblings IDs to sports gamble, and there's no like verification on that.
- 0:49 Um a lot of my brothers' friends have got into a lot of debt and are have gotten to a lot of trouble sports gambling.
- 0:57 Uh my brother's gotten to a lot of trouble with his par with my parents and uh had to pay some people back for the money he's lost.
- 1:04 Um yeah, I think it's a very big issue.
- 1:09 I and currently Jor in Georgia, like sports gambling isn't even legal, and there's really just no verification on that for anyone who actually sports gambles.
- 1:19 Um I think the laws should really crack down not as much on like the the state laws, like for you like gambling in Georgia.
- 1:27 I think if you're above the age, um it should be fine, but like people who are younger really should not be gambling because they don't have like the processing of they're actually losing money.
- 1:39 They really don't understand it.
- 1:41 My brother like genuinely like doesn't really understand how much money he's losing.
- 1:45 He really thinks it's just almost like a game.
- 1:48 Um so yeah, I think that's a it's a big issue.
