Question inspired by the news that Dave and Busters is supposed to be adding gambling to their games. And of course there are the sports betting apps.
I get that all things being equal we should let people do what they want to do. But I don’t see much of a benefit, and a lot of downside to allowing the spread of gambling.
Most governments you’re starting from an existing set of laws, not starting from scratch, so presumably someone at some point had a reason for putting a law into place. Not saying they’re all good, plenty of shit laws.
