Isn't the cat out of the bag? They already went to legalized state gambling.

In my mind, the govt has the wrong direction. Focus should be on sound decision-making. Just because there's opportunity, that doesn't mean people have to gamble.

The Government should stay out of our lives as much as possible. My opinion.

Exactly, rd. Government has the wrong view of their role.

Government should minimize their spending. A lot of societal problems tie back to self-control.

The article is from The Guardian (a British news organization). Makes me question the authenticity of it. Maybe they are just bad-mouthing US sportsbetting industry.

Hell. They were probably paid by Unibet to write this.

I think it should be allowed. You got the $ you can bet. Age is irrelevant. Just like all drugs should be legal too.

Both of these articles are a bunch of bullshit. Nothing comes of it.
