Gambling season kicks off in full next weekend with the NFL.

Fantasy football, Draftkings, etc etc. Ease of access to gambling has created a high-time preference society & wreaks people’s lives.

Just buy BTC & HODL & you’ve won the bet. But that’s boring as fuck for most. And that’s why they ALWAYS LOSE.

I had a meeting with a machine learning software company, to build one specific for goalies, that would greatly enhance development and recruitment.

They thought the idea was great, but didn't want to invest in it because they wouldn't he able to use it for gambling.

They explained to me that all sports date analytics companies are now pseudo gambling analytics companies.

Yup. In my opinion the data driven aspects have ruined pro sports.

I like local HS or college hockey games 100% more than the NHL now.

Same with football etc.

They want sports to be like video games & remove the human element.

The last coach I worked under, in Jr hockey, was huge into analytics. He relied on it way too much, that it clouded his judgement.

True everywhere. Over analytics. iPads on benches after every shift. Hate it.

OMG I sometimes wish it were boring 😄

Compared to their lives; it’s more boring than going to Grandmas on a sunny Sunday.
