    Gambling should be illegal

    Too many people losing money and getting into deep financial trouble. It is an evil industry doing great social damge to people's lives. There is a reason why gambling is considered a sin.

    It went wrong with the internet. Too easy to access. Just like any drug, sugar, fast food etc. Advertising ect. It's just really smart people taking advantage of the circuitry of the human brain

    If you are able to control your emotions and are not a compulsive player you WILL make money.

    Please, gambling should be treated like gun control. Background checks to make sure someone is financially stable and mentally stable. So half are eliminated and real gamblers may enjoy the fruits of gambling.

    This is just a retarded suggestion. If it ruins their lives, then that's their fault. If someone goes on a killing spree, its not the guns fault. It's not gamblings fault if they ruin their lives.
    I rarely if ever have gone all-in on a game....just Super Bowls (multiple times mind you).

    Adultery is a sin too but Trump was doing it and he was elected president so it must not be thought as a serious sin in the eyes of evangelicals. I'd say gambling gets a pass too.

    Same can be said for Alcohol abuse. Everything in life takes discipline and then it's just fun and or a hobby. Much like gambling and drinking. Over do it and it becomes very destructive. You gotta have a grip on it rather then it having a grip on you in other words.

    Same goes for over eating and becoming obese. That's deadly too.

    Humans have been playing games of chance for millennia. The desire to predict and control the future is programmed into our DNA. Good luck suppressing that with laws.

    Think about the lack of intellect it would take to like Nick Young enough to choose a username that is his nickname? Gtfo buddy. Some of us know how to manage money and can afford to lose a little cause in the end we win more than we lose. Honestly “Swaggy P” probably the only username on all of SBR worse than “KiDBaZkit”

    Illegal, no, regulated, perhaps.

    What if there requirements for financial minimums to make bets. Similiar to how you can't just open a huge margin account and start naked shorts at high dollars.

    How about we take responsibility for our actions and stop blaming others for our vices? I don't blame drug dealers either for idiot addicts killing themselves. No one forces us to bet...no one forces us to bet over our heads because we like the rush..
