The older I get the more I hate gambling. When i was younger I tended to think "hey it's their choice" but i've realized how unfair our society is in terms of things like this.

Food, gambling, etc. are all backed by hordes of brilliant well paid people trying to get you to ruin your life so they make money. On the other side is just regular people like us stressed out trying to survive.

This isn't some "freedom" issue, it's an incredibly huge power asymmetry and I think "we the people" need protection from these forces

Well, it's not really their choice. If you're really good at picking your bets the sites will all limit or kick you off.

Sports betters really only allow losers to do it. There's a bit of a different ring to "We only let losers choose to play".

Shouldn't there be a primary school education about this?
