Is it just me, or are 'Expert' Commentators getting worse?

Ohhhhh that makes sense actually. I never thought about it like that!

Television networks have partnerships with betting companies.

Picks designed to increase betting volume, not win rate.

Conflict of interest obvious.

 

[TaffyTipster]

The amount of betting ads during matches now is mental.

Every break: bet bet bet.

Ray Winstone shouting at me to bet NOW.

 

[DublinDegen]

the betting ads are absolutely everywhere... probably doesnt help people like me...

Conor how'd the counseling session go yesterday?

 

[DublinDegen]

it went okay actually... weird but good... talking to someone again next week... thanks for asking mate...

 

[CoachTony_Bets]

That's great Conor. Keep it up man.

 

[TaffyTipster]

Proud of you butt.

Anyway back to hating on commentators.

 

[SharpEddie47]

Does anyone actually LIKE any commentators?

 

[CoachTony_Bets]

I like Ian Eagle for NFL. He's knowledgeable and entertaining without being obnoxious.

 

[FadeThePublic]

Kevin Harlan is great. Brings energy without saying stupid things.

 

[oli_sussex]

Peter Drury for football. Poetic without being inaccurate.

 

[TaffyTipster]

Eddie Butler was brilliant for rugby.

Retired now sadly.

Actually knew what he was talking about.

 

[Klaus]

Marcel Reif excellent German commentator. Tactical knowledge strong.

Now retired unfortunately. Replaced by inferior commentators.

 

[ParlayPrincess_88]

I like the college football guys! They seem fun!

 

[FadeThePublic]

Princess they're the worst offenders. Pure hype, zero substance.

 

[ParlayPrincess_88]

But they're entertaining! Isn't that the point?

 

[SharpEddie47]

That's exactly the problem. Entertainment over education.

 

[oli_sussex]

Both possible simultaneously. Good commentators entertain AND inform.

 

[CoachTony_Bets]

Brighton's right. It's not either/or.
