Well lets just be honest with everyone. The states are in the business of gambling and have been for many years. Case in point, state lotto’s. Every state has outlawed anyone from conducting a lotto type of gambling. Thusly guaranteeing they and only they are in the business. It would come as no surprise sports betting in any and all forms will be next on their table. The people who can least afford this wild game of betting are the losers in this. The state could care less about your financial position, just place you bet against 1/10,000,000 odds.
Harold,
And those IMMORALISTS call GAMBLING :
“G A M I N G”—To Fool The PUBLIC,
as if MOBSTERS are elevating harming POOR
people – and other Weak-Minded folks – to a
spiritual endeavor.
The Holy Bible warns of the danger—and, now,
anthropologists have discovered GAMBLING may
have destroyed the Anastasi Cliff Dwellers (( see
“Secrets of the Dead” report )).
This scribbler had warned against that foothold of
LOTTERY tickets—and tussled with columnist
George Will about that psychology-based danger,
after he had written in support of state lotteries.
That tussle ended by his asking that, I am
“never to contact him again.”
Now, the IMMORALISTS are infecting high school
sports with it—and “Robin Hood contracts” may be
purchased, to bet on elections. Nothing wrong there,
giving mobsters a reason secretly to bias politics
towards a hefty financial gain ! ? Right ?
Betting on anything triggers a place in the brain, which
triggers pleasure, if one wins—but the House gets 80%,
and G_d never plays dice ( Einstein ).
Suffer the P O O R (( and their children )) using welfare
checks to GAMBLE—and to L O S E, mostly; and, then,
require an addiction treatment program ( taxpayer
funded ).
