    Not really defending its existence, more trying to figure out what the best solution is.

    I think you have a good point though.

      I mean banning it like it was what, only a decade ago? That's clearly the best solution. Friendly wagers over the local game don't cause a mass transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich, FanDuel does

        According to "fuck you, got mine" misanthropic fairweather leftists in this thread, if making something illegal doesn't make it go away 100%, it should be completely legal, which includes the massive tech corporation shit that has already made watching professional sports even worse than before and more a vehicle for gambling than for enjoying the games for their own sake.

      yeah sorry I didn't think that was your intention but others in the thread are doing it from what's clearly a latent libertarian mindset.
