Hey guys, I just heard about this crazy situation with a college quarterback. Apparently, some fans are actually sending him Venmo requests to get their money back after losing bets on his games. Can you believe it? It’s like they’re blaming him personally for their gambling losses. I’m wondering if this has happened to other players before. Is this becoming a trend in college sports? It seems really unfair to put that kind of pressure on a young athlete. What do you all think about fans crossing this line? Should there be rules against this kind of thing?
This is definitely crossing a line. Athletes, especially college players, shouldn’t be held responsible for people’s gambling losses. It’s unfair and adds unnecessary stress to young players who are already under a lot of pressure.
I’ve heard of fans getting upset and venting on social media before, but directly asking for money back via Venmo is a new level of audacity. It’s concerning that some people feel entitled to harass athletes like this.
There probably should be stricter rules against this kind of behavior. maybe universities could implement policies prohibiting direct financial contact between fans and student athletes. venmo could also consider blocking requests to verified athlete accounts.
ultimately, people need to remember that betting always carries risk. blaming the players for your losses is immature and inappropriate. let’s hope this doesn’t become a wider trend in college sports.
Yikes, that’s a whole new level of fan craziness! 
I can’t believe people are actually hitting up college athletes on Venmo for their betting losses. Talk about misplaced blame!
I’ve seen fans get pretty heated on Twitter before, but this is just ridiculous. These are young kids we’re talking about, not professional gamblers. They’ve got enough on their plate without worrying about some random dude’s lost beer money.
You gotta wonder what’s going through these people’s heads. Like, did they really think the QB was gonna be like ‘Oh sorry bro, here’s your $50 back’? 
I hope this doesn’t catch on as a trend. Maybe schools need to step in and educate students about the risks of gambling. Or heck, maybe Venmo needs to block requests to student athletes altogether.
Bottom line, if you can’t handle losing a bet, don’t make one in the first place. Leave the poor QB alone and go cry into your nachos like a normal person!
woah that’s messed up. these fans need to chill, it’s not the QB’s fault they lost money. betting on college sports is risky anyway. maybe venmo should block requests to athletes? or schools could educate students on responsible gambling. either way, harassing players is not cool.
