    Cancel culture is now targeting gambling
    I see hundreds of articles and video clips being published on "gambling addiction".

    Everywhere sources are citing the negative side of gambling.

    With no one mentioning the winners who profit from it.

    ..


    Social influencers and the media are herding people like cows.

    Well there are not many winners. Don't worry. People will be able to continue to lose. You cannot cancel losers.

      Yeah states are way too much in the deficit to care right now. They will allow this for awhile because frankly they need the revenue

            If they are following the UK model, operators will end up using the negative media as one of their main marketing tools.

            All the adds will be about how you can set betting limits or take time outs and responsible gambling.

            IE: what they are really doing is marketing directly at the problem gamblers (as the majority don't care about these things) and also running a marketing campaign with the same ads to convince the general public it's just fine as the bookmakers are being forced to be "responsible".


            Devilish of them huh?

              The fact is that for every winner in here, there are 9 losers. In here, that may be a lot higher because there are so many overall losers. People who think they are gamblers and think that they know what they are doing make myself and my friends rich.

                I'm hearing the exact opposite. A lot of people are making fortunes by fading all the picks posters post at SBR.

                    I haven't bothered to read the rest of the posts in your thread....... But forget the word game!!!!! It's all about making money! Psych. doctors can't exist if people don't need them! And yes they do need them. But words like cancel xxxxxxx are all about nothing if you have a brain.... Sorry no insult meant, but places like facebook etc etc etc etc...... all push for nonsense... $$$$$$

                          Yes, they do not know the odds, understand money mgmt and are happy to lay -115/-120 and play bj/ craps/roulette vs a computer chip w a fixed payout programmed already.

                          There's no game of chance here, they cannot beat the State

                              There's an article somewhere for anything. Stop reading so much garbage. Not sure I've seen any of this. Where are you finding this garbage? It's the right that needed to be defeated to get gambling legal. Same for weed.

                                We shouldn't try to stop adults from gambling because some dummy has a gambling problem/addiction.

                                    Funny thing is….over the last 10 years, the more money I made (and saved)….the lower my bets have become.

                                    Guess I’m more worried about losing what I’ve worked for. I’m more satisfied with living a comfortable life than ever being truly rich.

                                      He was saying him and his friends are "biiiiig bookies" and they make "sooooo much money".

                                      Which is laughable, guy probably thinks $5,000 is a lot of money. I can just see him now in his mom's basement screaming at a guy on the phone that owes him $200.

                                        I agree about destroying the US males under 30. A lot of these people do not understand basic math, let alone gambling math, and will pay a very costly price for it.

                                          Makes no sense. If you are are a 10 year winner then you are betting with an edge and you should increase your bets not decrease.

                                            My earnings have come through work…not gambling. I’d make bigger bets to try and supplement my income. As 90% of the posters on here, I was usually around that 50/50 mark. Every once in a while a hot streak would come along and I’d buy something nice. But also had the cold streaks which meant fewer diners out and not drinking the good stuff.

                                            Now that I’ve earned enough (in the corporate world) to pay off my modest house/cars….I don’t need to go for the big wins. Just occasionally play for fun when I got time to fill. However most of my life is trying to enjoy the real world until I get too old.

                                              Oh, OK. When you said "the more money I made", I thought you meant from sports betting.

                                              Yeah, if you're gonna be a losing 50/50 sports bettor, always better to bet less.

                                                  Recall. Poker rooms and/or sports books had their domains seized under Obama. Any gambler that still votes democrat is a loser with a very low IQ. Clearly. Same morons that want to shutdown everything to stop the spread of the China Virus while keeping the border open. Same idiots that are worried about said spread even though they've been vaccinated. Stupid sheep. Baaa. God bless them though. Improves my win probability. Thanks suckers.

People who think they are gamblers and think that they know what they are doing make myself and my friends rich.

                                                            Among the Congressional supporters of the Act were Rep. Jim Leach [R-IA], a former chairman of the House Banking Committee and Rep. Robert Goodlatte [R-VA], who co-authored H.R. 4411 (the Internet Gambling Prohibition and Enforcement Act). Bill Frist [R-TN], former majority leader of the Senate, and Jon Kyl [R-AZ] are both credited with expediting the UIGEA's passage through the Senate.

When they tried to login that page with the eagle logo popped up saying that domain has been seized and is under investigation by the US govt. And yes Obama was potus then. Fukk him. His legacy is anti freedom and he looks like jackass now that Christie got it sorted out and its legal in many states. Thank you fat fukk Christie.
