We get the question, “How is this any different than the bars or restaurants where people spend their hard earned money?”
Answer: it’s like comparing figs to Fritos.
“What separates commercialized gambling from every other business, including vices like alcohol and tobacco, is it’s a big con game. It’s a form of consumer financial fraud and exploitation, similar to price-gouging and false advertising.
If you pay for a pizza, a ticket to a sporting event, or a glass of wine, that’s what you receive in return. In commercialized gambling, what you receive is a financial exchange offering the lure that you might win money. But this financial exchange is mathematically stacked against you so inevitably you will lose your money in the end, especially if you keep gambling.”
