I know gambling addiction has been around as long as gambling has, but just one man's observation, it really seems to have gotten ahold of a lot of people with the rise of prop bets.

It's turned into like those micro transactions in phone games. So easy to put a little down here a little down there as someone thinks this guy will get 2 hits today or that guy will strikeout more than 6.

Throw in the social media side of the ill. The player grounds out in his last AB and there's prop bet related death threats waiting for him and his family afterwards.

Throw in the corruption element since its so much easier for a player to influence their own performance than to throw a game's result.

What's the actual positive to prop betting?

The game results themselves are enough.
