What do you think about gambling? - Lemmy.World

Could be in any context. I do it a little on UFC fights but that’s a relatively low amount and I can afford I to lose any time I do. It seems like it’s becoming a really wide spread problem though, at least in the US. At the same time I don’t see why it should be illegal. Granted I also don’t think any drug should be illegal.

Gambling as an industry should not exist. It's just predatory.
In it’s current form I’d agree.
Why only “current?”
Not the guy you responded to, but I don’t see why it should be illegal to form groups and clubs to gamble under the condition that there is no “house” taking a cut, or maybe (at most) that a flat fee is charged for membership to allow for overhead (i.e., rent, dealers, etc.).
True, fair! ∆
