It’s always confused me that (some) Americans, despite being so pro-freedom in general, are rabidly against the idea of betting.

We’ve had it in the UK forever. The sky hasn’t fallen in. Yes, we have addicts, just as we have alcoholics, most people are, well, normal.

You can just not. I like a bit of a play now and then. In fact, I bet on the US election which was genuinely useful as a financial hedge for me.
