I don't gamble, rarely buy a Lotto ticket, but I believe it's on line gambling on just about any sports or horse racing.
What is sports betting.

Everyone wins when you spend your disposable income at the guitar store rather than the casino.

The OP was two years ago, I should think he's got it figured out by now....
Hopefully he hasn't helped finance a hotel.

100%. That's exactly what i do. Betting should be forbidden...
wait a second there.. Pete bet on his own games THAT HE MANAGED AND PLAYED IN.
Don't subtly try to diminish what he did.

Yeah, sports betting can get out of hand fast. I used to browse 프리카지노 sites out of curiosity, but quickly realized it's better to invest in hobbies like music. Spending on a guitar boosts creativity and well-being, not just fleeting excitement. However, I know people who spend their free time on such websites and say they help them relax. I'm personally for supporting healthier choices with our money.

Sports betting is just another way for rich guys to get your money. You'll do better on index funds.
I'm pretty much a "Live and let live" kinda person...your vices hopefully don't affect my life, but the way online gambling has been normalized and even advocated for is kinda disturbing.
When you have someone like Charles Barkley (someone with a HISTORY of gambling problems and reported losses in the hundreds of thousands of dollars or more) soliciting bettors on a pregame show, that's about as irresponsible as it gets.
I'm not much of a gambler, so I was surprised that you can even bet on the over and under of a player's stats...if a guy normally scores 10 pts, you can bet on him scoring more or less than normal. How in the hell can they police that?
I'm sure a player can't bet on himself, but what prevents him from finding someone to place bets for himself?
I'm glad that in my old age, sports aren't much more than a lil something to watch occasionally, but the idea of supporting teams, buying merchandise or tickets has been over for a long time.
Imo, most pro sports are about as real as wrasslin.

Whenever I hear someone talking about gambling, I think they must not have worked as hard for their money as I did.

That's an easy thought to have, but as someone from a gambling family I've seen plenty of people busting their humps and betting their earnings away.
The only sure bet in gambling is that the ‘house’ WILL win when ALL of the action is done. If you find someone to bet against that, you win.
Yessir, addiction knows no socio-economic divisions.
