Not if you watch soccer. 45 minutes of non stop game time followed by five minutes of commercials, five minutes of halftime analysis, five more minutes of commercials, then 45 minutes of more uninterrupted game time. Even with added time regular games don’t take more than two hours and only ten minutes of it is commercials. Even if every commercial at halftime was a gambling commercial, it would only take up 10.5% of the airtime at most. Half time bathroom break could take care of most of those ads. Plus you still have most of the day to enjoy something else.
The electric banners around the field regularly have betting ads scrolling by.
Also, many teams have a betting company as their shirt sponsor, which gets regular air time.
Sure but I’m not watching banners. I’m watching the action in the field. They aren’t intrusive like actual commercials are.
Whether you're aware or not, you're still seeing it.
Here's a funny one lol: annoying ads
I’d rather it be in the background than completely interrupting the game every five or ten minutes.
I agree. I'm just saying that they're everywhere.
At the very least the banner ads aren't yelling at me.
