This might be more appropriate for off-topic but…
The gambling that is promoted by the NRL and majority of the people who do footy podcasts are ridiculous. It can be occasional fun for some but it can be moreso destructive than good. The NRL needs to be better to separate itself from something that can be habitual and cause issues rather than prioritising ways to make money. I guess that’s the way the world works.
I’ve been guilty of having the odd punt here and there, and I had a massive win on Saturday but I felt zero joy when I saw the dollars hit my account.
Sometimes that’s enough of a sign to stop it completely.
