betertainment
/bɪˌtɛəˈteɪnmənt/nounVerified NewSport consumed primarily as a vehicle for small wagers, with the game reduced to a backdrop for the bet slip.
The game matters, but the slip matters more; a goal is only a number until it clears a line. Every broadcast now carries odds in the corner because the viewing and the betting merged. Betertainment is why the scores app and the bookmaker app share a home screen.
Etym. — bet + entertainment, fused at the shared "t" — gambling absorbed into leisure.
Rel. — hopeticket
