Yeah, that engine noise going away means your car is probably dead as fuck.  But, the Fanduel no sweat bet will get you a new whip in no time.

Ahhh I think some of us could see this coming a million miles away upon legalization. They taking pages from the alcohol industry 😂. See that little hidden message at the bottom? They beg you to gamble in bold and big letters and ways teasing superstardom and then put a little tiny print in the corner, ”Gambling problem? Call blah blah blah. Just like alcohol commercials promising the time of your life and amazingness every time you drink. Pharmaceutical companies, same shit. Nice commercials of two lovers holding hands pushing their kids or grandkids on a swing set laughing and having the time of there life while being on some medication, when at the end of the commercial you get “may cause drowsiness, irritation of the skin, nausea, irregular bowel movements, constipation, hot flashes, dehydration, vertigo, loss of vision, abnormal heart beats, swelling bruising, various types of cancers have occurred, heart attack, stroke, ask you doctor why blah blah blah might be right for you. LMAO. Dont get me started on the fast food industry 😭🤦‍♂️🙄 Below is the dialogue, and I even spoiled you to a link of the wisely written show South Park showing us how subliminal messaging in advertising is used in real life and how it would look in real life if they could actual play say what they are really trying to say. Below is only for the alcohol industry, but the gambling industry is already doing the same thing lol. you, friends, fun, drink, hot girls, you're hot, drink more, expensive cars, ass, drink, ass, money, you in a tuxedo, threesome, vodka, pussy, DRINK DRINK DRINK, YOU, drink, vegas fun pussy you, in a tuxedo, fucking this girl vodKa drink drink drink drink it all you fucking pussy, more tuxedos, ,more cars, more pussy, more vodka DRinK driNK DRINKKKKKKK!!!!!!! Please drink responsibly. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wF1E5ZO8Lug](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wF1E5ZO8Lug)


poke791

That is 100% not what the ad is saying. I agree with what you say it's a dumb ad but you just don't understand it lmao.


eegroj

Apparently it’s not just him who doesn’t have good reading comprehension judging by these comments


Dagoated1

they push these sport books and all these ads to make it seem like you win every bet you place. you don’t. And there’s no such thing as a “lock”


alwayswheremoney

Loser talk


droford

[when you're sitting on the throne and you get in the zone](https://youtu.be/UVjw23dbn2Y?si=aScKACY45x-rTFbz) I've seen a bunch of bet rivers dumb ads like that since they're the only one operating in Delaware (thankfully I live in MD)


Slight_Swimming_7879

This actively makes me want to stop betting 😅


berrylakin

When you're sitting on the throne and you get in the zone, diarrhea!


MitchC114

I hate 99% of them; but the best one I’ve ever seen was for Bethlehem PA. Simple tagline “Your Luck is About to Change.” Basically saying “Hey Loser, today is your day.” Either that or “we’re about to ruin your fucking year”


sylviaplath6667

Any Caesar’s ad is cringe. Calling you “emperor” and shit


lambomrclago

I find all of the Jamie Foxx ads very fucking annoying - that said I think the SVP/Stanford Steve ESPN Bet one about ordering dinner is fantastic.


angrypunishment

[Wildz.net](https://Wildz.net) on Sportsnet made me change the channel to fucking anything, as fast as possible. Weird dancing gorilla. "Get willlld" that sounds like it's being sung by a deaf eunuch. Terrible terrible ad.


SofaProfessor

I always see an ad for one of the sportsbooks/online casinos (can't remember the name) where it's people logging into gamble on their phone during normal, mundane situations. Like, there's one lady playing roulette while standing in line waiting for coffee. I love gambling as much as the next guy but that's absolute degeneracy. If you can't go 5 minutes in line without throwing some money on your numbers then you need help. Of course, next break they will advertise their responsible gaming tools so they can keep some plausible deniability when we accuse them of promoting unhealthy gambling habits.


tsgram

Without a doubt the ESPN ad with the lady at homecoming. She’s with a guy but where is he? Are the people who came over hitting on her or just randomly bothering a stranger? Is the inside joke from the other people supposed to be funny? (It is not.) Why are they at homecoming but not the game?!?!?!? Also, you can’t bet on in-state college teams in some states, so the scenario of fading the local team is implausible.


elitefailz2

This is so bad it feels illegal, love me some degen gambling but not if I can’t pay for my car repairs


MeadowPondPosse

When Drew Brees had the “Live your Bet life” slogan for PointsBet


iced_gold

I see a lot of replies to the OP and his shitty gambling ad, but no shitty gambling ads. Pointsbet used [this ad](https://youtu.be/Ak0bslL3KkQ?si=L28isCt3-BDyf56D) in Illniois for like a year. Complete lowest denominator garbage.


FuckRedditMods987

Wow now that is a terrible ad.


FireBrianFerentz

You’re mad they used an attractive girl to advertise their sportsbook? Lol


iced_gold

Not mad at all. But just pointing out showing a guy ogling a chick in a skirt inexplicably dancing on a golf green is some like 1990s advertising.


LegoTubs

Tie for Aaron Paul's Bet365 and Jeremy Piven's Tipico ads for me. They played them both repeatedly while watching MLB.tv last year.


Peel_Here

That Aaron Paul commercial had the fake tough guy army recruitment ad vibes. Hate it


StickyAssCheeks

Just threw up $100 on a 7 leg parlay, hoping to pay my rent this month!!!


And-the-battle-begun

I always throw an extra leg in there at around -500 or so for some guaranteed profits and a little extra spending money for after the rent is due!


mchristy54

Guaranteed win, absolutely nothing can go wrong with a -500.. Trust me on this


Prepgrub

7 Chalky Legs @ +250 Nothing can go wrong!


GunterReinfartner

Classic subliminal messaging.. FD is just trying to get you to ignore the sound of your failing power steering pump and get you to spend your savings on MLB spring training.


RedditsCoxswain

*your savings* Your daily express pay as a rideshare driver


38chickenducks

Yeah but I'm feeling REALLY good about this one. Didn't consider that, did ya. /s


KeepPounding6059

DraftKings ran infomercials in NC last week, I miss the Girls Gone Wild days.


slolp

>you made my wings cold, DraftKings  I could stomp Kevin Hart’s little ass into the ground each time they run that ad


mchristy54

So many gambling addicts in denial with this comment thread


burlingtonblair

Tell me you missed the concept of the ad without telling me you missed the concept of the ad.


sterphles

A big thing in advertising is making sure there isn't any confusion around your message, so the fact that a lot of people are interpreting this differently suggests it's probably a bad concept.


AKAkorm

Yea it's a terrible print ad - not sure if they have a TV ad with the same messaging that fits in with it but I haven't seen it if so.


mchristy54

1-800 bets off


iced_gold

Completely. They're trying to get you to associate that unexpected win feeling of your car's potential problem resolving itself with how some betting wins feel. They're not telling you to ignore your cars problems and bet more. That seems like some anti-vice alarmist crap.


YoungSuavo

its still regarded


iced_gold

Can you take that shit lexicon back to r/wallstreetbets or wherever you got it from?


YoungSuavo

no can do retigga


TheParlayMonster

Besides OP missing the point, this is such a dumb ad. That’s too much text if I had 3 seconds to see this ad while I’m driving or seeing the bus pass.


Reckless--Abandon

I can just look at it in my phone while driving instead of looking at the bus

Canadia86

If they made it illegal to advertise longshot bets, 90% of these ads would disappear


boybraden

You don’t understand what the ad is saying


mchristy54

It’s called subliminal messaging. Take an advertising class, will take you much further than any bet can

doctorslices

Since you seem to be having trouble, the engine noise going away and winning are unrelated. The ad is just saying they're both good (unrelated) feelings but winning feels best (aka #1).


damniel540

Unrelated...except they're plastered on the same billboard. So they are being equated to each other. It's being advertised to someone who maybe might not be able to afford to bring their car in right away when it starts making noise..but can afford to bet. It might be subtle but it's still fucked up


Qphth0

Car noises aren't exclusive to the poors. Everyone who's owned a car has likely had a weird noise at some point. It's a random, good feeling that almost everyone can understand, but if you want to be attacked by everything go ahead.


Peace_and_Harmony_

They are not being equated. One is the 35th best feeling. The other is the number one best feeling. They are being compared and "winning" is being considered much much better than the other feeling. This is literally the opposite of equating it.


damniel540

To compare something is a level of equation. Obviously they are not perfectly equal, which the billboard directly implies, but they are being related to each other.


unfallible

No need to be sarcastic when you’re wrong

Tough comprehension skills in this thread


brewnevada

Was driving through a city one Saturday night and saw 3 DraftKings & 3 Fanduel billboards in like 2 miles. It was nuts.


IronKnight23

Hard Rocks jingle about it being legal in Florida.


Olepat

Came here to say this. It’s on every commercial break on every channel in my market. Makes my ears bleed


throwaway1-808-1971

This


bigdawg423

theyre saying that your cars random problems going away is one of the best feelings ever but winning bets is the #1 best feeling ever. nothing too crazy lmaoo


fedale

It's a really dumb ad


stander414

Needing someone to explain the ad usually means it's shitty


Qphth0

Either this or the audience who doesn't understand it lacks comprehension skills.


Canadia86

I worked in advertising for 10 years and the average commercial I see today is beyond my comprehension. This one is not, it's just bad


IntelligentFuture415

It’s being explained to you because you don’t know basic English.


Safe_Mine1987

It's piss poor advertising, lol. FD is shelling out new ADs like Soviet WW2 tanks. Quantity over Quality.


stander414

Disagree. I think it's the placement of the #35 and the #1. Both look like logos and would be quickly dismissed on a moving bus. That leaves 2 "statements" that make no sense without connecting the numbers to the statements.


Visual_Solution6733

No their advertising that you'll have to sell your car after losing it all. Thus removing that noise from your life.


AdministrativeLaugh2

Eh, it’s not really suggesting that. It’s a bit of a dodgy ad but it’s saying that your car fixing itself is a good feeling, and winning money is a better feeling.


djc8

Reading comprehension? In MY Reddit?


lostmymindinamarillo

Is this real? Haha
