    What does owning a business have to do with Wall Street?

        Just remember, every time you want to buy a share of stock cause you think it is going up—- you need to find someone who wants to get rid of it and sell it to you because they think they can find better

        Casino is different. But still gambling

          Only if you're flinging poo at a wall and hoping it'll stick.

          Some of us stick around for the long term and collect dividends, as I'm sure a number of MMM owners will chime in with.

                    I certainly would. I love sports betting. And I love doing it at extremely small stakes. A couple of years ago some buddies and I spent 10 days in Las Vegas over March Madness and I put $10 on every single NCAA game. It was a blast.

                    I really don't think it's going to have the detrimental effect some people claim, at least on the sports themselves. It's not like there has been little or nothing bet on sports in this country annually in the past.

                    The primary problem will be gambling addiction, and the problems that become associated with that.
                    That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

                          The only difference between today's ruling and the past, is that tax revenue will be made. That's it. I used to bet on sports quite a bit, found I liked it a little too much (not that I was going broke, pretty much broke even, maybe made a couple dollars), then stopped. Not worth the legal risk.

                          That being said, may dabble here and there, for fun.

                            I will bet...low stakes but at least it will give me a reason to pretend to care about sports. Watching professional (or college nowadays) sports where I dont have a rooting interest is the biggest waste of time ever. At least if I put $10 on the game I have a reason to want the team to win. Just like horse racing...

                            And this will change nothing about the sports themselves. It isnt like gambling isnt already all over the place anyways. You know why point spreads and money lines are put in every newspaper across the country...it aint so the stats nerds can jerkoff with their protractors...it is because of gambling. You know why March Madness is a big deal...its 10% Cinderella Stories and 90% betting pools. You know why the NFL dominates...gambling.

                            Gambling is not going to change anything...
