Life is a gamble. The stockmarket is a gamble. Orders from a drive thru window are a gamble. Running for political office is a gamble. Planning a picnic is a gamble. Arriving safely to work each day is a gamble. Me spelling correctly without spell check is a gamble.

This question is stupid. Always has been, always will be.

The fact that games of chance played for monetary profit/loss is an un-insurable transfer of cash IS the ONLY problem worth addressing. The nanny state is all that's left to bail out the losers and the rightous among us always use the wrong argument to try to prevent it.

As long as people have the ability to choose, gambling will continue.

Well said, If gambling is immoral than so is Capitalism. The immoral part is abusing and developing an obsessive addiction. IMHO
