Disney used to hate gambling. Now it’s doing a $2B sports betting deal
I think it&#x27;s a good thing that gambling has been legalized and brought out the shadows. But I really wish the advertising rules around it were changed. I would very much like it if the laws were similar to toy advertising in Japan. Ads are allowed, but you are not allowed to show ads for the product during the event.<p>In Japan you can&#x27;t show ads for Power Ranger toys during an airing of Power Rangers. Draft King wouldn&#x27;t be allowed to show commercials during a baseball game and definitely would not be allowed to show you the betting odds in the seventh inning to make sure you bet before the game is over. The betting ads are just so ridiculous and blanket the broadcast that they make it seem like you&#x27;re weird if you aren&#x27;t constantly betting on every game.
