He can handle it. An occasional wager now and then probably won't harm him. Bennett did mention betting on NFL Sunday football. OK, a lot of people do. I don't see a problem here if that's all the betting he'll be doing from now on.

If he can keep to friendly bets among friends, thats one thing. If he's like my grandfather was, calling his bookie and betting 30 games a weekend, its not. And remember, if he goes online to gamble football, he has to wade through a bunch of gambling teasers - and of course, a legal sports book is out of the question for him, if its in a casino.

I will agree about the casino having no right to do that, and I suspect he has a decent cause of action against 'em.

Oh, don't waste your time trying to debate with these self-righteous snobs. They are entirely too "pure" for the rest of us common folks. They remind me of the asshole in the front pew in Christ's Parable about the Pharisee and the Publican.
