We're the opposite end of the spectrum here when it comes to gambling. We've gone way too far and its gotten out of hand.
We get constantly bombarded with SMS/emails for sports betting prices/offers. You can't watch a live sporting event without multiple commercials for in-play betting.
Many people who watch sports (which is a lot) have a gambling problem now. It's legit ruining lives.
So there is a balance to be had when you do finally step out of the gambling dark ages.
