Gambling should be banned. And not just the prediction markets and sports-book, but the lottery too.
It's just theft with extra steps.
Then it just goes underground, where it's worse. Better to keep it above board, but that requires responsible regulation and enforcement, which hasn't been the case.
Most importantly, there should be absolutely no advertising of any kind, period, and that goes for ALL vices - alcohol, cigarettes, weed, etc. We shouldn't be encouraging people to participate in these activities.
We should also levy special taxes on these vices, which go to treatment facilities, so that anyone can get free treatment for addictions, and to anti-vice marketing and advertising.
Yea it’s one of the few things I’m like nope, should be illegal fully don’t give a fuck.
Don't forget the stock market.
