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.
I just liked where you talked about children who are involved in gambling. To be sincere, it pisses me off when I see children who plays gamble, it's very bad and most of them I know usually ends up as the bad eggs in the society. From gambling they go into other stuffs like arm robbery and stealing. So we really need to stop children from gambling until they are adults and able to make that decisions themselves. Another thing is those people who are so addicted to gambling to they extent they can't control themselves, those people need to stop as well and learn to use their senses.
