I do but it doesn't make them right about gambling.
I spent almost a month in England and France recently. There are bookie shops all over London and in every town too. (Good luck finding something English bookmakers won't take a bet on.) In France you can bet on horse races in bars and cafes all over Paris. These countries have been around a lot longer than the USA. If gambling was a plight on humanity as some believe, these countries would have made it illegal a long time ago.
In fact, I'd wager that most non-third world countries have racecourses and allow wagering on their races.
Personally, I'm proud to be a punter. And I don't care if anyone disapproves - including my mother-in-law who does!
I'm 60 years old for crying out loud. I earned the right to do whatever I want as long as I'm not hurting anyone else. Just like everybody else.
P.S. I bet on NFL games the first four weeks of the season legally in England. I come back here and I'm supposed to go to Vegas to legally bet the NFL? The Republican party can go to hell.
