Hockey Night in Canada has become a boiler room – it isn’t a sports show any more, it’s The Wolf of Wall Street
game, there was one of those Bet365 ads that have become the wallpaper of hockey broadcasts in this country. You know them so well that you don’t even see them any more.
Your mind knows that Vegas is not winning this game, because your mind saw the first period. But your heart cries out for all the famous comebacks of hockey games past.It’s only going to cost you a measly grand to take that shot. Imagine how you’ll feel if it happens and you weren’t brave? You’ll feel like a chump.
But when you surround a panel with gambling ads, it becomes insidious. You’re in there searching for hints that betting next month’s rent payment is actually a good idea. C’mon, Kevin Bieksa, just give me some hope. Tell me something encouraging about offensive-zone entries. People would have a conniption if Connor McDavid gave $100 to a political party they don’t like. But inject the creep of doubt into the country’s cultural patrimony because I guess he doesn’t have a Ferrari in every colour already? No problem, man. You go get yours.telling you that, hey, I know meth gets a bad rap, but it can be fun in moderation. Try my new Dr. Feelgood organic, anti-ageing meth.
We are meant to think that it is inconceivable – wild and paranoid – that the people financing the broadcast, the people starring in it and the people hyping it might collude in predetermining the outcome of the thing being broadcast.But for a person of average intelligence who isn’t blinded by the romance of the good ol’ hockey game, that is a pretty reasonable thing to think given what they’re seeing.
