    Gambling Still Bad Stigma Why?
    I’m still known as the gambler in the neighborhood and that’s obviously a negative comment

    But if someone smokes weed and some of my neighbors do they’re cool

      Drugs gambling and alcohol are looked down upon because from other people's perspective you can't be counted on because the addiction will always come first

        Maybe. Gambling more acceptable now with DraftKings fanduel and mgm commercials on nonstop. Let’s put it this way, if you don’t know a serious gambler personally, you may rationalize it’s not as big a deal

            Jj: say no to drugs is always a good healthy choice. You need to get a brand new sportscar with a custom plate "Big winner". get some new suits too
            your neighbors will instantly think you are a big shot

                    The reason why gambling is still a bad stigma is because of gambling addicts who commit suicide after losing everything. Don't kill yourself, use money management and flat bet or quit gambling. Don't steal money from your family member.

                    Kay Wadsworth told MPs that her 32-year-old daughter Kimberley, who died in 2018, started betting in 2015 following the death of her father and problems with her marriage.

                      As long as there are guys like Brock Landers, gambling will always be a black eye

                        Bad stigma according to who?

                        I don't see that. All positive now with legalized betting. If you know how to game the sites and win, you can be a rockstar. Shit, it can probably even get you laid.

                            Corbin, I got a way for you to make $100.

                            If you come to Monmouth Park next weekend:
                            a) I'll pay for your travel expense.
                            b) All you have to do is 20 minutes stand-up ala Rodney Dangerfield.

                            Then you get to enjoy rest of the day. I'll give you $100 cash.
                            Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?

                                Bad stigma at your local church maybe.

                                As half the congregation checks the early game lines on their phones.
                                .

                                  Take the deal. All expenses paid and $100 cash. Now figure out how much you lose every weekend gambling and you will see it's a heck of a deal. You will be in plus money for the first time in your life on a Monday morning and won't have to reload again.

                                          When they see all the broken TVs in the trash disposal and Amazon truck coming in every month with a new replacement.

                                            Anything you abuse is bad; anyone who abuses you is evil. Good times for the non abusers.
