You know… it just occurred to me that Netflix also has a decent amount of debt. And though it’s cash flow positive it’s become hush in terms of subscriber growth. It’s biggest revenue.
If they ever lost their advantage. If people quit Netflix and didn’t renew… this deal looks fucking disastrous.

There’s a ton of scattered news on it but prop betting across the board is so out of hand that most professional sports operate more or less like the WWE.
Almost all of it is staged or rigged to some degree for billions to be made. It’s never been this out of hand.
