Let's be frank, they need money to survive. Cheesy

Most of top teams are rich, they won many leagues, they get sponsors and they can sign more strong players.

But mediocre teams that never become a champion will have a hard time to get sponsors, they can survive without accepting gambling sponsors, but they don't have money to buy good players, so there's a chance they could relegated to second tier leagues.

This is true. The level of sports we are seeing and enjoying at the moment are largely due to advertisement money involved. That is the money that translates to clubs and players. In this time of global sports, advertising is the only source of income for players, teams and organizers. The ticket price may cover the cost of keeping the stadium in order and nothing more.
If there were no gambling ads there would have been something else. The reason why gambling advertiser pay more for sports coverage is, all of its viewers are the target audience for sports betting. Personally, I don't listen to any pre-match, interval or post-match analysis. I get my info and stats from mobile apps. And I haven't encountered the commenter talk about gambling odds in mid play.

Not only the teams, but also athletes and championships are sponsored by determined betting houses. I don't understand very well why it happened suddenly in sports industry. Is it that betting houses offer superior sponsor rates, or is it that previous brands aren't interested in sponsoring sports matches anymore? I remember some years ago we have several brands from fast food and technology niches everywhere on athletes' uniforms, stadiums ads and on TV propagandas, but now it seems everything turns around betting houses.

A potential detrimental impact over sports I can imagine, is the fact it can lead to more frequent events of fixed matches, as the teams and players won't be exactly working to show performance and defeat their rivals, rather they will be working to benefit determined individuals who are engaged on gambling practice. However, the determining factor to conclude if it's going to happen or not, isn't the gambling industry sponsorship over sports industry, but the ethics of the people involved on these businesses. If we are talking about an ethical society, who respects laws and its fellow citizens, there isn't a detrimental impact after all.

The increase in sport betting websites etc has been responsible for all this ads that we keep seeing in recent times.

Almost everyone want to be the top or wants more traffic than others so they pay people to put in there ads every where in the internet no just podcasts and others as you mention but almost every where. imagine making a transaction with a local bank app and you're seeing ads asking you to deposit and play it's insane this days.

I gamble but not always so I get pissed when I see this ads, the podcast which you mention are even hosted by this sport betting cooperations so how then do we stop them? it's just a matter of time we will get over it.

This is the new era of advertisement due to the popularity of online casino specifically sports betting. Teams, clubs and players keep playing due to their salary while their salary comes from the management who earn mostly now through the odds. Whether we like or not, Players will not play without salary which is why ads is now very aggressive especially gamblings that is directly involved the sports with their books.

Ads finance everything including news or podcast that’s why they are motivated to keep sharing insights. There’s some channel that provides premium services that removes ads but with exchange for extra payment. This is now the reality and I doubt they will cut it since it provides a huge source of income.

It will not be easy to avoid them. This is the new way of sports now, gambling is included with it.
Also, I bet those gambling companies are paying massive amounts of money just so they could be included in any discussions of the commentators.
The same with NBA, Fanduel, or other names. And when they finish advertising it, both commentators will start talking about the Over and Under, the line before the game started, handicaps, and it will continue until the end of the game.
I can say I already got used to it although I am against those because kids are probably watching and now they have an idea of what is happening or they will start asking their parents what those numbers are. It will be difficult to be in a position to answer all of those without mentioning the "gambling" word.

I don't think it's destroying the sports industry, more like boosting it, but again, what about the minors who are watching? There are no NBA Kids or Football Kids applications that are available like Youtube kids to filter those gambling ads.

I think that it's just matter of time and strict rules will be implemented or at least there will be less interest in these kind of "promotions".

If you think betting/gambling in sports have been heavily promoted only in the last few years.
I didn't remember something similar when I was young (50 + years ago).

Yes, it's true that we see all those gambling ads these days and in fact you can see those on clubs and grounds where matches take place. There's nothing one can do to stop those but I don't really think that they have any adverse impact on the sports that we enjoying viewing. They're just trying to promote sports betting and I don't think anything is wrong in that approach.

In fact those are somehow helpful for the ones who are good to judge the teams and such viewers might end up making some money if they place bets in favor of a winning team. I'm very sure that sports viewers know far more about a team than other gamblers and if they use that knowledge to place some bets then they could generate some revenue from those gambling sites.

I'm not opposed to sports betting, but I believe it's had a detrimental effect on sports, particularly football, which is immensely popular in my country. It is with dismay that I have noticed that there is not a single sports show or podcast that doesn't have its listeners or viewers bombarded with gambling ads, "odds," and discussions about whether the line should be -3.5 or -2.5 by the pundits, hosts, and commentators.

What vexes me the most is that as a viewer or listener who tunes in to hear these individuals talk about the sport, the players, the clubs, and generally everything about the game, they instead spend the majority of their time diverting attention away from the sport their audiences actually care about.

Right now, I would rather read news commentary or simply lower my expectations of them. Totally insane.
