And the sports betting thing needed to be said too. A lot of people who can beat one gambling game insist on playing others they can't beat. Casual fans cannot beat the vig in sports betting.
I believe passionately in legal gambling, and strongly feel that anyone should have the right to place a bet on an outcome and experience that action. But we have to tell the truth about addicts and encourage them to get out before they ruin their lives. Miramahdi lost a good job due to a gambling problem. That's a story worth telling.

Bill Christine and I became good friends. One of a kind writing style. For a sample do a search for Bill Christine Get out the lifeboats. Nobody has that kind of style.
