We allow daytrading, how is that different? We allow daytrading while you drink! Impaired daytrading! Soon in California you will be able to be under the influence of marijuana while you daytrade! If anything, I would like to see gambling completely in the open across the entire US. Prohibitions against it are a silly throwback. If you are an adult and want to spend your life savings on craps, go for it. If you lose all of your money, sorry but you are an ADULT. I love going to Vegas. Most times I don't gamble at all. My wife knows to stop when she is down $1k. She KNOWS that with almost 100% certainty, she will hit this limit. She even enjoys a drink while gambling. If this experience is beyond the discipline of other people, they should stay away and let the ADULTS enjoy themselves. Our notions of legislating away all risk is inane. Just this weekend my friend was threatened with a $650 fine for riding his mountain bike on a Santa Clara County trail without a helmet. What? What next, will I be put in a police car if I go jogging without elbow pads?
