    Quite frankly, gambling should be culled kind of like tobacco (although maybe not that harsh). I think they should ban large gambling companies from operating here. Betting shops are fine if they’re independently owned

      Betting was confined to the race track or the football stadium. Now the bookee is in your pocket 24/7. The odds are never in your favor.

        Yeah. I think online gambling should be banned. Just keep the bookies open so you don’t get a prohibition problem
