Gambling is a form of entertainment. I mean, have you ever played those shiny new slot machines before? They are extremely addicting and a cause for a good time. Gambling is a legitimate source of recreation that is completely for adults. Well, I guess the legitimate aspect could be argued. However, I have a question to those who are feeling argumentative... why is sport gambling so successful? Seriously, look at all of that FUN. Engaging in this playful form of entertainment benefits not only the individual but the economy as well. The New Yorker recently reported that The National Gambling Impact Study Commission estimates over $300 billion are gambled on sporting events annually. Now just imagine if gambling was properly regulated and legalized in all 50 states… the potential revenue generation would be enormous. In a sinking economy any avenue in which to generate revenue has to be considered, right? There are 1.6 billion people who participate in gambling per year.
Sports are... #BadAsh
