This is some real parallel world stuff. I don't think I've ever seen an ad for online gambling, nor do I know of anyone who participates in sports betting.

Super weird that apparently 1/3rd of the country does it but exactly 0 people in my social circle talk about it.

Are you in a state where it is legal? Every other radio or TV ad is for gambling where I live.

I don't watch TV or listen to the radio. I pay for YT premium so no ads there. Ad block removes removes most of the rest.
