Its way worst than most think, wait til this next generation come up..
Talk to anyone in school system, they will tell you about high school kids gambling with they parents credit card and such.. When I heard kids talking about hitting a parlay, I was shocked.
This is just a slight crack people will overlook.. Seeing how rapid people have accepted gambling into fabric of life is insane..

Seeing how rapid people have accepted gambling into fabric of life is insane..Kinda like how I miss the Quake gaming days where you played for the love and not for skins and lootboxes, I was dead tired of Fanduel commercials during NBA games. Completely bullshyt and its harder to convince me that calls aren't made in favor of betting odds from time to time.

notice a pattern?
To those who say “people will gamble anyway”, how does you explain the rise in the gambling issues after they’ve legalized it. Wouldn’t the gambling numbers be unchanged as who wanted to gamble would have been gambling all along?
Yeah it's easier to access for everyone now and kids are being taught it's OK when they see superstars in gambling ads on TV
Good data about how gambling is leading to less household investment. People should focus on these investments instead of pouring 10s of billions into gambling and see how much happier they would be

Right? It ruins the purity of the game and adds to the idea it’s rigged. What if a ref has a parlay?
It's legal now because it's easier to track by the IRS and government wants its taxes.

Don’t make it illegal. People are grown and can make their own decisions. I’d say just make the industry more regulated like make it illegal to advertise, similar to cigarette commercials and regulate the frequency networks can talk about odds.

And you will be wrong.
Legalizing gambling INCREASED the risk of bankrupcy.
'A second paper, from the economists Brett Hollenbeck of UCLA and Poet Larsen and Davide Proserpio of the University of Southern California, tells a similar story. Looking specifically at online sports gambling, they find that legalization increases the risk that a household goes bankrupt by 25 to 30 percent, and increases debt delinquency. These problems seem to concentrate among young men living in low-income counties—further evidence that those most hurt by sports gambling are the least well-off.'
It's objectvely a bad thing.

I remember when Joe Budden was leading the charge against this year's ago saying it was going to be disastrous for the black community.
