Beat: ESPN piece on gambling

Damnit, this show they are playing on ESPN about gambling is [censored] horrible and they are grouping poker in with it. Kids that kill themselves because of gambling debt with sports aren't a loss, that is just natural selection. Jesus.

P.S. This thread sucks.

oh and OP plays full ring, he's already dead on the inside

Yes, I am most def. dead on the inside.

I did not group them together though, I was saying that they are grouping Poker with Sports Gambling and saying that both are things where people always lose all their money, when in fact neither are like that. But they treated both like they were Roulette or something.

Anyways like I said, people who cannot handle this game are just plain stupid and it is their fault. It is not ESPN or anyone else's fault but their own. It is just stupid to group all gamblers with the problem gamblers and to say all the problems would be solved by mostly idiotic measures.

The thing is smart people who put in time and effort can beat sports betting and gambling, but most people don't fit in that category.
