Why do we have all this discussion about legalized gambling? Why can not states create tax based gaming and allow the residents make some money? What is the difference between a wager on a horse race and a bet on a basketball game? How do gambling be both enjoyable and lucrative? It appears that the only answer is money.

The argument for legalized gaming falls flat when you realize that people that are addicted to gambling aren’t making any money. Casinos gambling is not legal in Nevada and Atlantic City, New Jersey; if other nations follow their lead, why not follow their example. States seem 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 people who do it in the casinos, obviously don’t 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 of the winners on school sports teams be financially rewarded if they won a world championship and then went on to earn millions in endorsements? It appears illogical to benefit these players and their paycheck with such a large quantity of free money. Also, college sports is a really distinctive industry where the skills of the players and fans are very unique. I believe that there should be an equal opportunity for all players to be compensated equally, and that I would believe that the U.S. must follow the rest of the planet 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 is now an issue in the United States and we cannot ignore it any longer. I would love to see the government regulate gambling as it’s causing problems and is now a massive problem in our country. Whether you agree or not gambling is wrong, but the solution shouldn’t be putting more individuals in debt, which is what’s happening now, or creating still another sector where the winners get bailed out by the winners of the new gambling industry. I would suggest that the solution would be to make gambling illegal and then allow the free market to solve the issue.

Now then, let’s look at the merit of being a gambling demerit. If you are saying that you are not good at gambling then you’re most likely just saying that to attempt to hide something. It’s the simple truth. Now then, if you’re saying that you are good at gambling then maybe you are 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 will also be problem gamblers. Is that what I meant? I’d say that if you are saying you aren’t a Gambler, then I’d say you are a Gambler that’s made it large and successful by gaming the system rather than by playing fair. I’m telling you there is an entire industry of people 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 isn’t real gambling, even though it is.

Problem gamblers, organized crime syndicate leaders, drug kingpins, and many other kinds of problem gamblers are very good at covering up their addiction, which is the reason why they are those that the government wants to lock up. They can cover up for a long time and it won’t matter one bit since they’re in charge of the gambling in this country. Problem gamblers aren’t 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 nation, problem gamblers have turned to card counters to help them win the pot. The trouble with this is that the problem gamblers fall into the trap of believing they are actually gambling. This is because they’re not thinking rationally, and they become a circle quickly wherein they invest more money and win less money. But what they do not realize is that this only increases the quantity of money they should gamble, which means more chance of losing everything again. So instead of calling their family and friends and confessing their dependence to problem gambling, these problem gamblers go into another casino and continue to lose more money, until they eventually do decide to seek support from a professional gambler.
