Very interesting. Do you have sources for these?

What do you think all the $500-1000 "free cash starts" that the NFL is constantly advertising are supposed to do? There's a reason that free loosies were banned in the Tobacco Control Act of 96. For-profit companies don't give stuff away for free unless they think they'll get way more than that back from a portion of freebie recipients. > Only 25% of Americans regularly gamble https://www.statista.com/topics/1368/gambling/#dossierKeyfigures https://www.statista.com/topics/1368/gambling/#dossierKeyfig... > and just 2% of gamblers produce 50% of industry revenue. https://www.promisesbehavioralhealth.com/addiction-recovery-blog/casinos-thrive-on-backs-of-addicts/ https://www.promisesbehavioralhealth.com/addiction-recovery-...
