People have gambled for years, and will continue to do so. Yes for some its an addiction, for many more its recreation.I find most poker boring,craps to hectic. Roulette intriging but I dont play. Lottery scratch offs"********" lotto the same.I went to one horse race, didn't do anything for me.BUT its my money, I'll spend the way I want. Gambling is not a sin, if you think so, dont do it.
