Gambling addiction really is on the rise...
How is it a gamble if I already know the answer? That’s not gambling. That’s going and picking up the winning ticket. trying to see how this is a bad thing for anybody. I mean, other than the person who won on the next round.
would be safer to buy a few bitcoins, those numbers are random, are we sure they'll be the same once you go back in time?
The point isn't that this hypothetical would be a gamble, just that it's a gambler's fantasy. I blame Barstool Sports and Drake.
Go back and offer that guy pizza AND FRIES.
