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.

There are a lot of users who have been in gambling in a long time ago nevertheless they don't think they are addictive toward it. This kind of people plays each and every kind of games in the hope of making a profit. After a specific time later it will become pretty difficult for people like this to overcome from this situation. As far as people who make money when they play it seldom those who play it consistency will definitely lose the money. Gambling is not as bad as people think because if you playing it rarely or keeping gap then its must not addict you play like this.

You see those people who see nothing wrong with playing every kind of game, at every point and for the purpose of making money, it wont take long before they start suffering from gambling addiction. They always think that they are strong enough to overcome but Its always not true because gambling is not made for money and once anyone starts playing it for money, it will only be a matter of time before they start seeing the negative impact
I have seen a number of players who started this way, and they always feel they are smart and in no time they start suffering from addiction by selling all their properties and borrowing from people just to meet up, simply because of desperation to make profit.
