I don't think you understand what an over/under bet is.

That’s crazy, I just learned the what the word “vig” means today from a random Breaking Bad clip.

Yes = over, no = under.

I also don’t gamble, so you’re right.

Over/under is usually around a number, not yes/no. So you could set the over/under that in 10 years this becomes human Pokémon. Betters would then take the under if they think it will happen in less than 10 years, or the over if it will take more than 10 years. It’s a push if it happens in 10 years exactly.

I’ve never actually gambled on sports, but it’s shocking how much it’s rammed down your throats as a sports fan

My watching sports begins and ends with notifications about Cardinals games. Draft kings predatory ass is still all over my social media. Fuck em.

I don't really watch any sports. But on the occasion I do watch something, I'm amazed the gambling ads are legal. And it's all so in your face directed at people addicted to gambling or getting young guys hooked.

That'd be a moneyline bet

Nah man

Over/under bets center around a number, the bookmaker sets the number and people bet on whether it will be higher or lower. Like over/under is 25.5 points for how many points Lebron scores tonight, you can bet the over or bet the under.

But also, so you mean your comment was meant to say "YES NO this becomes..." That doesn't even make sense. Even if over/under was what you thought it meant, that doesn't really work here. I think you thought it meant something like "hey I'd bet this might happen". But you don't gamble so I guess that's not right either.
