Strange; my post above was in reply to somebody who, IIRC, was saying that he would indulge responsibly. It certainly was not responding to LGO a year and a half later. The post, and presumably the forum member who posted it, have disappeared.
Whatever; but the idea applies to you, randker. Gamble responsibly.
The analogy that comes to mind is the failed idea behind Prohibition in the U.S. No matter what, people were going to find ways to continue to drink alcohol. Banning it merely drove those folks underground and into criminal endeavors.
The world would do well do lift the prohibition on drugs for the same reason. Spend the money now being wasted on fighting drugs on education and treatment, thereby putting the drug cartels out of business.
But I digress, except for this one key stipulation: The general public may gamble on sports, just as they may take drugs, but nobody within sports should be allowed to do so. Else, throw sports out the window as meaningless.
