I have never seen any place, real life or online, embrace gambling as much as this forum has. A little bit of gambling is okay but when you do it with the hope of making money it becomes a problem. The house ALWAYS wins. I see so many people here throw their money away at these online casinos.
It's because this is a crypto forum. Did you know that the first recipient or the first industry that take advantage of blockchain is the gambling industry? So don't be surprise if you find lots of gamblers around this community.
I just banned myself from the casino IRL yesterday after losing $40 at Blackjack. I got 18, and the dealer got 20. See? It doesn't matter how good you are at the game, the odds are always stacked against you.
If this forum were embracing drug addiction, don't you think it wouldn't look as good?
I don't think this forum intentions in the first place was to embrace gambling addiction here. I bet you can find other gambling forums much worst than this community.
