The prediction is that in 2024, gamblers will place 24 BILLION in bets on NFL games
alone.

Apparently, Americans have forgotten that the Italian Mafia made a lot of its
criminal income on illegal sports gambling.

Just as those sttes which legalized all sorts of illegal drugs, are now
finding out that the resulting mess of addiction, is not worth it, so too
I think that states that legalize sports gambling, will suddently find out that
ADDICTION to gambling is a terrible thing.

I know, I used to bet dogs and ponies in Juarez and Ruidoso.

The Italian Mafia was hit when sports betting became legal. They make their money off promotion
of illegal activities, not legally regulated activities.
