Legalizing sports gambling was such a horrible decision. It has infested nearly every sport like a parasite.
It's 1a for me as the worst decision in modern history, 1b is legalizing direct to consumer medicine marketing.
I'd say letting politicians take money from interest groups is probably top on my list, but sports gambling definitely isn't great.
A fool and his money are soon parted.
I love gambling! it makes it so much more fun to watch and it definitely incentivizes me to watch sports I don't care as much about. We don't need the government involved in victimless entertainment
Definitely not victimless. But I’m not saying it should be illegal.
Who is the victim?
People who get addicted and their families.
