Reply to comment by MechaMagikarp in Being a young man, religious, and with a high income, may make you more likely to gamble on sports, according to international research which also suggests that betting on sports, daily fantasy league play, and betting on e-sports all increase the risk of developing a gambling problem. by MistWeaver80

That’s… an interpretation.

Except when I make a sports bet, my neighbor isn’t in the equation. I enter a mutually agreed upon wager with a consenting party. And in the case of the sports bettor, that consenting party (the sportsbook) has an advantage over the person seeking the bet. So, how am I coveting?

You’re doing the loophole thing again. Your “neighbor” is literally every other person on this planet. You say you aren’t religious but you sure are walking the same exact thought process as a fanatic whom doesn’t want to accept that they aren’t even following their faith. Kind of disgusting, even on a normal human being level. The end goal you and every better is looking for is the money. Money that you did not earn but those around you did. I could dumb this down further if you really want; but then we would be reaching room temp IQ and that’s damaging towards my own mental. So I’d very much rather not.

Perhaps if you tried dumbing it down further it might get down to a level you actually understand.

Because if you simplified your writing down to a level that you understand you will remove the nonsensical and often contradictory babbling you have been doing throughout this thread.
