I love that people aren’t satisfied with being able to bet but also need the approval of random internet commentators. GOOD JOB BETToRS! Sweet moves!

Trust me, i really don’t care what you think. I just made a counter argument to what you said because I disagreed with it. If I knew you would just refuse to even defend your own view point and just attack me I wouldnt have commented in the first place

I grew up hearing horror stories about a relative losing a fortune to gambling. It’s that one vice that can outspend any other. Check out Terrance Watanabe’s story for example. I personally believe gambling should be regulated and legal. It’s a tax on folks that fall into the trap. It’s not anything to be celebrated.

Sure some people will become addicted and lose a ton of money gambling, but the vast majority will not and just gamble small amounts of money for fun. Pretty similar to drinking in that regard, some people are alcoholics but the majority will just drink socially in relatively healthy amounts. Like all vices, it’s about moderation
