-FanDuel, too, told CNN it views sports betting as a form of entertainment.
-“We want our customers to think of their time and budgets on our platform the same way they might think about going to see a movie,” said Fox at FanDuel. [[https://tripskan39.cc/|трипскан сайт]]
+On a recent transatlantic flight from Florida to London Heathrow, married flight attendants Hunter Smith-Lihas and John Lihas locked eyes across the aisle.
-But at least some bettors try to leverage it into income — like Colby Aaron Wells, now 33, who began sports betting in Tennessee nearly a decade ago to make extra money. (The state legalized certain daily fantasy sports contests on apps in 2016.)
-He said he was “working his butt off” at a landscaping job at the time, and he thought he could make a little extra money to pay the bills.
+The two men smiled at each other, before swiftly returning to serving champagne to first class travelers.
-In Wells’ years of app betting, including after sports betting was legalized more widely, there were months when he did win thousands of dollars. Twice, the app company BetMGM even comped him free rooms in Las Vegas for betting so much.
+This shared smile was fleeting, but spoke volumes. And later, when Hunter and John were on break at the same time, the couple found themselves sitting in the onboard crew lounge, reflecting on the shared life and careers they’ve built together.
-But there were also many losses. Wells says he could have bought and paid off a house in Tennessee with the amount of money he lost, and he has since quit playing altogether. BetMGM declined CNN’s request for comment.
+“I met you for five minutes on the airplane when I wasn’t even supposed to, and now we’re living in the city together, and you’re sitting across from me on the plane and we’re working together,” Hunter recalls saying to John.
-All three young men interviewed for this story believed they had a competitive edge because of their knowledge of different sports, viewing it differently from a slot machine or lottery ticket.
+“You never think when you meet someone for the first time like that, that it’d go this far. So it’s kind of surreal. And it honestly just makes you so happy, because you’re like, how did I get here?”
-And though they’ve stopped gambling, they say the incessant advertising for sports betting is difficult to avoid. They see promotions like “bet $5 and get $150,” and they know just how easy it is to get sucked in.
+Airplane meeting
+Honeymooning: They went to Paris for their Honeymoon. Here they are touring the Louvre. Hunter calls the trip a "lavish European vacation."
+Traveling together: Today, the couple live together in Florida. They're still flight attendants, now for another major US airline, and enjoy traveling and working together. Here they are on vacation in Colombia.

+First date: On their first date, Hunter flew from his home in Pittsburgh to Myrtle Beach in South Carolina to meet John, who was there on a layover. Here's the couple that evening.
+Long distance: John and Hunter lived in different cities, but traveled to meet one another when they could. Here they are on a trip to Los Angeles during this period.
+Growing relationship: "I actually liked the long distance part at the time, because it gave us time to really appreciate our time with each other," Hunter tells CNN Travel today.
+Surprise trip: For Hunter's birthday, John surprised him with a trip to Disney World in Florida.
+New adventures: After just over a year of long distance, John and Hunter moved in together and both moved to Detroit. "It was an adjustment," says Hunter. "But I think overall, it was more of an adventure."
+Puerto Rico proposal: On a trip to San Juan, Puerto Rico, Hunter asked John to marry him. "It all clicked, like the rest of my life is coming together perfectly," recalls John.

+How Hunter and John got here was via a series of unexpected moments and decisions starting six years ago, in 2017.
-“The amount of advertisements and commercials you see everywhere,” said Vo, “it’s literally plastered in your face.”
+Back then, Hunter was just known as Hunter Smith. He was in his early 20s and working as a gate agent for Spirit Airlines. He’d aspired to work in aviation since he’d starting watching a flight attendant who chronicled her job on YouTube.
+“I thought, ‘Oh, my gosh, this is the best job ever. I definitely want to do something like this,’” Hunter tells CNN Travel today.
+After he graduated college, Hunter secured a gate staff position in his home city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The role was the perfect foot in the aviation door.
+Working the airport gate, Hunter interacted with hundreds, if not thousands, of people each day. As a sociable person, he always enjoyed the conversations — however brief — with travelers and airline staff.
+But Spirit Airlines’ employment pool was so big he rarely met the same flight attendants twice.
+One morning, one of Hunter’s gate attendant coworkers asked if he could pass on some papers to the captain of a soon-to-depart Spirit flight, which was heading to Orlando, Florida.
+This kind of task, says Hunter, was “typically not my job, I did not normally do that.”
