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 would say crypto is kinda gambling aswell currently , nobody knows how it will turn out at the end . But ofcourse crypto compared to gambling have less risk , but still.. Speaking about gambling thats really big business and i think there is no chance that it will be banned or closed . Can i ask does your friends have low income and they gamble to win big money ? Or they earn pretty much , but gamble for fun as they say ?
