Why do we have all this talk about legalized gambling? Why can not states create tax based gambling and let the residents make some money? What’s the difference between a bet on a horse race and a bet on a basketball game? How can gambling be both fun and lucrative? It seems that the only answer is money.

The argument for legalized gaming falls flat once you realize that people who are addicted to gambling aren’t making any money. Casinos gambling is not legal in Nevada and Atlantic City, New Jersey; if other states follow their lead, why not follow their example. States appear to have less moral concern about legalized gambling, as seen the proliferation of cardrooms and craps, also known as rollback or blackjack tables. Gambling addiction is a problem, and those who do it at the casinos, obviously do not care how it’s made easy.

The argument for not allowing gambling in the states is sound, however you will find some merit points to consider as well. How would all the winners on college sports teams be financially rewarded if they won a world championship and then went on to make millions in endorsements? It appears illogical to reward these players and their paycheck with such a great amount of free money. Additionally, college sports is a very unique industry where the abilities of the players and fans are extremely unique. I feel there should be an equal chance for all players to be compensated equally, and I would think that the U.S. should follow the rest of the world and make a sports lottery. This way everyone who plays in the U.S. would share in the prosperity produced by the college sports business.

In all seriousness though gaming has become an issue in the United States and we can’t ignore it any longer. I would love to see the government regulate gambling because it is causing problems and has become a huge issue in our country. Whether you agree or not gambling is wrong, however, the solution shouldn’t be placing more folks in debt, which is what’s happening now, or creating yet another industry where the winners get bailed out by the winners of the new gaming market. I’d suggest that the solution would be to make gambling illegal and allow the free market to address the issue.

Now then, let’s look at the merit of being a gaming demerit. If you’re saying that you are bad at gambling then you are most likely just saying that to try to hide something. It’s the simple truth. Now then, if you are saying that you are good at gambling then maybe you’re a Gambler. That’s a completely different thing.

What I am trying to say is that all the successful gamblers and the very best organized crime gangs in this country are also problem gamblers. Is that what I meant? I’d say that if you’re saying you aren’t a Gambler, then I would say you are a Gambler that’s made it big and successful by gaming the system rather than by playing fair. I am telling you there is an entire industry of folks which are very good at gambling, but they are good at covering up their gambling problem, and if you find them they will tell you it is not real gambling, though it is.

Problem gamblers, organized crime syndicate leaders, drug kingpins, and many other kinds of problem gamblers are extremely good at covering up their dependence, which is why they are those who the government wants to lock up. They can cover up for years and it will not matter one bit since they’re in control of the gambling in this country. Problem gamblers are not the problem, they’re the solution. The solution to solving the problem of gambling in our nation is stopping the gambling industry from creating more problem gamblers.

Since the introduction of slot machines to casinos all over this country, problem gamblers have turned to card counters to help them win the pot. The problem with this is that the problem gamblers fall into the trap of believing they are actually gambling. This is since they’re not thinking logically, and they get into a circle quickly wherein they invest more money and win less money. But what they don’t realize is that this just increases the quantity of money they need to gamble, which means more chance of losing everything again. So instead of calling their friends and family and confessing their dependence to problem gambling, these problem gamblers enter the next casino and continue to lose more money, until they eventually do decide to seek help from a professional gambler.
