I know I get inundated by GamblingTwitter people and their never-ending discord servers so I am sure you are seeing this and thinking “good lord, ANOTHER one of these clowns?!?”
I get it!!! I totally do, but this is / should be different.
I have been on a few fun/good servers, but most have been bad or realllllly bad. These often devolve into some combo of:
Trolling
Egotistically drive bullshit
Name calling1
Trying to sell products / picks2
Trying to steal folks from other servers
Folks telling you why they are better than Billy Walters
Folks posting only winning tickets3
We have had enough of that. Seriously. It is absurd.
To that end, a group of gamblers and I have set up a new discord server for folks to come to hang out and chat; it is called Gambler’s Paradise. At Gamblers Paradise we aim to do 3 things for FREE:
To build a community of gamblers who respectfully discuss plays they like and get/give feedback while not having individuals push their tout services, sell shit, or belittle you.
Create a “couch” like environment where folks can feel like they sitting on a couch with their friends and chatting about the games/events they are watching, like Saturday/Sunday college and NFL football, Champions League, UFC PPV, golf tournaments, FIBA World Cup, the Cricket World Cup ← fine that might just be me but I can’t wait!!!
Allow a space for folks to learn!! No one is an expert in every sport so the hope is this is a place where folks can come and actively participate in discussions and ask questions to learn. If you are nervous, come hang out quietly and just observe and see the discussion!
On top of all that we do fun things like fantasy football leagues, college football bowl prediction contests, NCAA Tournament bracket challenges, among other things where you can win real money!
Personally, I love MMA, but I do not know enough to handicap it so I love big UFC fight nights as I get to ask questions and learn from some of the amazing folks who have already signed up and I hope you all are willing to give it a try.
Seriously! Come hang out!
It is often like 3rd grade
No, I do not want to spend $100 a month for your shitty picks that you don’t track or that were somehow producing MASSIVE profits until you did start tracking them publicly and now magically they have slipped badly
Bonus points if they are of sweet “lays” and don’t show dollar amounts
