RE: Why Sports Gambling is about to change forever: Part 1
I definitely look for sports gambling to be legalized in more states, but I'm sure it won't be all of them. You'll always have those stubborn states that just won't do it. I am all for legalizing it, but like you said, it would be interesting to see how many people make the switch.
Good, informative post!
Thanks! Yes agreed there will definitely be some states to resist legalization, but I think over time it will be inevitable. This is the land of the free after all right?
Yea it has to be. States are stupid to resist when there's so much money in it for them. Same goes with Marijuana, which I thought was a very interesting point you brought up. Marijuana and sports gambling have so many similarities - illegal in most states, huge black market, can't stop it, states could be making a fortune, and it's still illegal because the government is a bunch of dumb asses.
Land of the free? Fuck yea, Merica! haha
yea there are definitely some parallels. I was in the middle of writing the blog post and then saw an article on the marijuana debate in my state so I thought of the similarities. I think the legalization of weed is a lot more complex than gambling and has many more complications. People stoned at work/school/driving, negative health side effects, ect.
Definitely more complex. I guess I see it similar to alcohol, but a lot less dangerous. Regardless, the government is telling us what we can and can't do. If we want to smoke a bowl while gambling on sports, that should be our choice.
