What's worse? Tweets on the screen during fights or Anik talking about odds/payouts incessantly?

The Tweets annoyed me at first, but I got used to them, the Commentary for me is still the most contentious, especially when theirs instances of Bias like Joe Rogan last night, and many others, as well as Anik bringing up things that have JACK shit to do with the fights.

At least with the Tweets their more focused on the action in the Octagon where people weigh in on how they scored the rounds, and make assessments of the fighters performances.
 
Every sport has a gambling-heavy approach now, not just the UFC. Once legalization in the US occurred, it couldn’t be ignored, it’s too big of an industry. You’re leaving too much money on the table by not taking advantage.
 
If they just stuck with pros or trainers saying who they think won the round then I would probably like the tweets
 
Both look really bush league, but if I could only choose one to get rid of it would be the tweets
 
The tweets are only small in the corner at the start of the rounds, couldn't be bothered less. The talk about odds is annoying, guess that draft king money comes with it.
 
I take it you don’t gamble?

Live Odds are actually very useful information

They have help me make a profit many times
 
i learned to block my eyesight then those tweets come up. im literally programing myself to ignore left bottom corner. they are the worst

They have a partnership with draftkings or whatever site they use. Its definitely annoying seeing betting odds and impossible Parlays to try and get people to bet those exact. They always show the 3 underdog parlay and the payout to entice you to buy. Its actully sad.

I understand the business side of that. Im more annoyed that the commentators never shut up. They just blah blah blah at all times.. i would love to have a mute DC button. Bisping has earned the spot on PPV ove DC IMO. He is a new age BAS.

It's amazing how flooded the market has become in regards to sports betting. It's no different than the incessant pharmaceutical ads on TV/radio/online as well.

Both also have the listing of side effects within the add that last more than half the add length:

- "Try fecalopolis, it will help you with your constipation. Side effects include diarrhea, loss of appetite, zinc deficiency, and hair loss."

- "Win big money on Sports Casino. However, if you have a gambling problem and live in Alabama call I-877-ijusylostmyhouse. If you live in Alaska, call 1-877-imindebtandmywifeleftme. Etc...

As a lifelong gambler, the worst thing they do now is push their “lottery” parlays. It’s a big problem on social media, too, with fake betslips and companies in bed with “gambling influencers”.

It’s an easy way to burn through your money. It doesn’t “feel” the same way as going big on a single bet, but it adds up quickly. Before you know it, you’ve bet the same amount that you would have on a single, but with much more of an unrealistic chance at actually winning.
 
Anik you can mute, tweets you can't. But this is a worthy match up, I must say, as both are annoyances.

Same here! Understand they want to show what’s trending, but it’s irritating.

Oh my god.... I haaattttte them both so very,very much.

The tweets literally talk about bets some time so I'm going with that.


Another thing. Before the odds were showed everywhere. I used to have stories where when I went out to watch the fights. (Usually to promote my classes)

Thered always be a know it all casual guy at the bar.

I had superior knowledge, they'd be a casual, he'd bet me and I'd be like yeah I'll take 50-50 odds on a lopsided fight.

Also I can't impress people with my guesses anymore.

As for the degenerate betting stuff everywhere ( I was betting like 20bucks max at a bar, not the same)

It's so fucking overboard.

"The odds are suggesting that a pay out for a 2000 dollar bet on a a flying spinning dick helicopter oil check will have a payout of 100000 from our custodyless fathers"
