A ground-breaking report carried out by the Participation Union of National Teams (PUNT) has found an unlikely hero responsible for keeping NRL fans interested in the more disappointing and boring matches played during the 2020 season – namely every Brisbane Broncos game.
The report reveals that same game multis are solely responsible for keeping people engaged in the games, in some instances viewership has actually increased since the introduction of the feature – with people keen to lose more money with predatory corporate bookies who offer shit value.
According to Jim Banks, Chief Promotions Officer at PUNT, viewership in Brisbane Bronco and Gold Coast Titan games had increased by 150%.
“People had no reason to watch the games before, they knew their team would lose or put on such an embarrassing performance that it just became easier to not watch the game at all”
“Same game multis have literally been a game-changer for these teams supporters, we’ve brought them back in droves”
“Fans don’t care about the score anymore, it’s all about whether their multis will come off and how much they’ve lost this week”
“I don’t want to speak too soon, but for the Brisbane Broncos in particular, same game multi’s have single-handedly kept people interested in their games”
“The multis are even bringing in new supporters”
“And then we can generate even more people we can prey on to make absurd amounts of money off without paying any tax.”
More to come.
