Not much competition for horse racing back then, except the local numbers games. Drinking, drug use and other costly "bad" habits will always be with us.
I wouldn't say gambling is going extinct, but it'll become less popular in the years ahead. Scrambling to get the basics of food, shelter and clothing is already a stark reality for many - though of course, the average person on this forum is well ahead of the pack, and may not realize that.
