Of course.
I like the freedom to do all kinds of things.
But we keep loading society up with garbage like this.
Gambling, drugs, booze, porn, etc.
And we keep pretending it will all be fine.

Wondering how many KC bettors got the rug pulled out from under them thinking the Superbowl wasn’t going to be rigged.

Or that it was going to be rigged in their favor.

...and now one knows why the NFL owners openly launched their anti-white and anti-American diatribes - they’re making their money off of gambling addiction.

The high end substance abuse counselors were switching to gambling addiction twenty years ago.

Gambling has been around forever but when it went online where you don’t have to go to a casino or an OTB place that’s when it exploded.

And 90% of the advertising seems to be aimed squarely at minorities, blacks primarily. Yeah, let’s further decimate this group. So sad.

This was inevitable. Gambling addiction ruins lives. And the pro sports leagues promote it.

Gambling addiction has soared since the legalization of sports betting in most American states, reveals a new study.

Shocks the hell out of me.

Gambling is an addiction as strong and dangerous as any drug.

I’m no fan of duh-niro but he said it best at the beginning of the movie Casino......”We are here for one reason.....to take your money”.

One of my sons has a group of friends about 23-24 years old and all they do is bet on games and other online gambling.
