#37During every half time they talk gambling odds in Canada.
During hockey games they have "sportsinteraction.com" plastered on the boards.
There is at least one gambling commercial during every commercial break.
This is going to be a massive problem in a few years.Comment -

#38I wonder if the response will be to impose restrictions on maximum deposits. Which, of course, is stupid because it's all relative. $1,000 could be life0changing to one person while $100,000 is nothing to another.Comment -

Today, Us/Canada are about 49 years away from legal/taxed betting cards being available 24/7 at about 10 million joints in every village that has a fuel station or a KFC. Same as with cigarette/alcohol availability today.
It's the exact same thing. It slowly kills you, just like many other things in life kill you. It's up to you to enjoy some aspects of gambling, smoking, drinking alcohol (as well as doing illegal drugs etc) but take it for what it is and don't let it control you.
You are being fed a new bad habit, and you have to control it. This is your government spamming you, asking you to spend rather than save your money offshore or under your matress. You don't smoke? Drink! You don't drink or smoke? Try day trading! Try online poker! Try scratch cards! State lottery! etc etc etc
A fool and his money is soon parted.
Whether you are a fool or not, is up to you. If you think gambling commercials will 'ruin lives' - think again. Compulsive people will pick up any new habit, gambling or otherwise, and end up ruining their lives anyway. Smart people will try it, stick with it if they are having harmless fun but realize it is becoming an issue an drop it.Comment -

#42The worst part about gambling is that it changes the way you view games. Every single game you start to judge against the spread. The sport is ruined. That will be the biggest impact from gambling. Crowds will boo because a team does not cover the total in a game.Comment -

#44Gambling is not on the level of crack or heroin... or even cigarettes
I'd compare it to something like fast food where if you're hooked on it, and doing it regularly, it will take its toll on you. But it won't make you rob an old lady to get a fix the way the hard drugs doComment -

#46Anyone noticed a huge increase in gambling and sports betting commercials on TV?
In a few years, a quarter of the population will have a gambling problem and be in debt.
All my friends have started gambling, not good at all. I already see the signs of addiction. It is like a disease and the media is feeding it to us.Comment -

Of course you would know nothing about gambling real money. Because if you did you would have been broke and in debt tens of thousands years ago. You are the dumbest shit on the forum and can not accept how much you are down.Comment -

You are moronic. Gambling is a bad addiction to have and cannot be compared to someone investing in long term stocks.

People with compulsive personality disorders will always have issues, that has nothing to do with gambling. If gambling was illegal people would obviously still gamble anyways.
Those with compulsive personality disorders will always get addicted to certain things like alcohol, that doesn't mean those activities should be banned you dumb shit.Comment -
