Do you think sports gambling is not inevitable? Because until relatively recently, it was illegal in the US outside of Vegas and it still very much happened. Whether it was a local bookie or offshore betting websites, anybody that wanted to gamble already was. The only difference is that none of it was taxed.
- allturtles 5y agoBut with ease of use and advertisements, you can dramatically grow the set of people who want to gamble. I watch football with my kids, and now they want to try gambling, after seeing thousands of sports book ads. I find it really depressing.

- wolverine876 5y agoAre you saying the volume of gambling hasn't and won't increase? My impression is quite the opposite, but I could be wrong. I don't think it's inevitable at all. We could make it illegal again; it was that way for a long time, until very recently, and the change was due not to politics but a court decision.
