I know my statement may sound pretty hostile on this part of the board, though I'm not talking about the person who will buy a superbowl box or makes a friendly bet with someone over one big game. I think the degenerates are the people sitting around gambling on every game they can possibly gamble on.

I have friends like this, people that will gamble on Mexican Womens Tennis if they can win (or most likely lose) some money on the game. It's a crushing addicition that we've normalized in our culture to make it seem like it's just apart of life. It shouldn't be, and children at a young age should be stopped from gambling until they know the horrible outcomes that gambling can cause. I support every effort by regulators to stem out the bad actors in the gambling field in order to stop children from being hooked on this.

I'd like one of you to change my mind, or at least make me think different about gambling. Because as of right now, I have a pretty negative view on it.

Youre saying the truth . Gambling has a lot of negative impacts, and where u live I do see children who are gamblers and I just imagine what their future will be like, cause most of them I know that started living such life as a kid ended up with a miserable life. The worst of it all is that some places will be permitting little children to come in and gamble, when they know that it us very bad,. I wouldnt blame them, they just want to make money.

Well the term degenerate is a pretty narrow way to look at it. It's like saying these people are senile where in fact, a lot of them are sharp when it comes to other things aside from gambling. We all have our own personal preferences when it comes to entertainment and there sre just some who gets too deep into gambling. Same as those getting addicted to mobile games or going to bars and drinking. You don't vonsider these people degenrates right? Hope i made sense 😁
