DraftKings uses AI to target gamblers likeliest to lose
"DraftKings has continued to hone its methods, using data science, to target losing gamblers with promotions that encourage more betting, according to six former employees who worked on them." www.nytimes.com/2026/09/19/b...
The US deserves everything that is happening to them, as a collective
This is flat out evil, yet major celebrities and sports icons keep selling their souls to appear in their ads, and politicians do absolutely nothing to rein it in. 
The algorithm targets bad gamblers. Of course it does. It’s an algorithm created to make money.
“One former [DraftKings] employee said he had worked on a system that looked for people at risk of leaving the platform and tried to coax them back. Another said he helped develop a program that ramped up promotions for people gambling more aggressively than usual.”
Sports gambling has increasingly become more disgusting by the day.
Not knowing that gambling can lead to addiction is like not knowing trying a little heroin can lead to addiction. I wonder if this is why while online gambling is so popular, very few people IRL talk about doing it. I hear all about the fantasy football, but very little about the betting.
