nah, any bookie or house or casino needs to go. There shouldn't be any "officials" allowed to take bets whatsoever, as this leads to gambling industry. Small scale bets between individuals is fine, but once a house is involved and taking a cut it's crossed the line
i mean i agree, obviously gambling is inherently predatory when there's a house.
my thought is mostly that the concept of "legalizing sports betting" is one thing, while legalizing pocket casinos and smashing you across the head with advertising is another.
like hell, at least if you had to go to a bookie it's something to do, you're getting out of the fucking house. this is just sitting on your ass and pissing your money away without even a walk outside to speak of. it's bleak
