    Very interesting article. I think with the amount of cash flowing into betting business and being used to lobby or finance campaign we won’t see any regulation anytime soon.

    We knew Tabaco was unhealthy already in 1947, it took 50 years to get serious regulation. Maybe in 2068 we’ll fix betting issue, that’s only 2 generation lost.
