The view at a recent Cubs preseason game at Arizona's Surprise Stadium; a sign for gambling app Bet-TendersSomething else took me to Arizona last week, but on what the locals considered a pleasant Tuesday afternoon I was in Surprise Stadium, in the Phoenix suburb of the same name, for the Cubs’s final preseason game. They were facing the Texas Rangers.The temperature on the field was approaching 100 degrees, and attendance was sparse.
The rest of us suffered through seven more error-laden innings to witness an 11 to 5 loss by the minor league team we’d been left with. That might work, but in case not, out on the concourse you could sign up for the Bet-Tenders app and get some skin in the game. They’re so sure you’ll like it, if you place a $10 initial wager, they’ll give you $200 in credits for future bets.
I’m not a baseball fan, but I live with three generations of them—former high school and college players, and diehard lovers of the game. They say the betting that went on in the bleachers then was a richly social activity, the game providing the platform for intense personal interaction. In contrast, they say, the online betting that’s replacing it will have heads buried in phones, the interaction—like so much else today—only between “man and machine.
