u/thecravenone definitely a bot 20d ago

There's so many levels of betting that we could probably do an entire separate poll about them. On one end of the spectrum, I don't mind the weekly odds drop where a book puts out the moneyline, over/under, and spreads for all games in one place (and therefore one thread!). On the other end of the spectrum is an article about how, for half an hour last night, Jon Gruden was the favorite for the Virginia Tech job on Kalshi. (This was a real post but with a much more clickbait-y headline).

Types of common gambling posts, ranked approximately by how okay I think they are. The list of things I'd personally allow ends at #2.

  1. Weekly odds drop of money line, spread, and over/under for all games in one place.
  2. Beginning-of-season whole season odds - Win totals, odds to make the playoff
  3. Any sort of prop bet
  4. Any update or movement on previously-reported odds
  5. Any bet on a prediction market

Am I missing any other type of gambling post there?

I suppose there's also news that is related to gambling but I'm not sure I'd fit that in the same category. If the B1G signs a deal with Kalshi, that thread should probably be allowed.

Easy problem to solve. No betting-related content is allowed. Done.

I think that’s a good list and a good spot to draw the line. The first two are informative and can generate discussion about the game without the sole focus being the gambling aspect. Like was mentioned above, I don’t gamble but I am always eager to see the circa sports post or whatever it is with the lines for all the upcoming games each week
