For sports betting they are doing easy free bets where you can win money but most put it right back in instead of cashing out. Why cause it's free money you're playing with. Fan dual did 4 $50bets. One I won 275 on. Some cash out, some keep playing. I was looking up some stats on sports betting and majority of people are not in the positive. It's highly addictive and you can do it on the toilet or from anywhere. They have bets for damn near everything involved in the sport. They get a lot of money on the parlays because it seems easy to win and it's not. They have made millions already if not more. The number is going to be insane when they see how much in a year they made.

From Maryland, haven’t lived there really since high-school, I still get these daily! Top 3 hated ads below James Allen (I proposed 2 years ago) and Supercuts (I’m black).

I would have much preferred if the recall and term limit amendments was a grassroots campaign and not from corporate interests that use their media platform to constantly rile citizens up. Then go “see this is why we need these reforms.” Does Sinclair Broadcasting really care about Baltimore city or its own interests and biases?

Again, not a fan of Mosby but I didn’t care about the pension issue. With term limits, it seemed inevitable. They’re going to have to tackle the issue of future members not receiving a pension at some time.

You hit it spot on.

The entire Baltimoron government is filled with a bunch of incompetents who could care less. Though it's hard to find talent in a city with this kind of reputation.

It's been this way for a while. It's just a big power grab and the state and city constantly butt heads. they'd rather see their own city burn instead of make things better. So long as they are in charge. #conspiracy
