Gambling is stupid. I think if you want to gamble you should be allowed to, but you should also be allowed to burn piles of money if you wish.
A good example of why gambling is stupid is just to look at how the casinos treat people. A man was denied a jackpot
because of a supposed "machine malfunction".
That is arbitrary and typical of casinos. Who decides what a machine malfunction is? The casinos do. So you lose any way.
Plus, just try to do complex math in your head, you'll get kicked off the blackjack table.
