I'd saying losing money gambling should have a somewhat lesser stigma than losing money on hookers or blow.

that's also where I'm _sort of_ sympathetic to restricting/banning/removing it as much as possible... why markets benefit society is that they're mutually beneficial, _plus-sum_ games. While there's enjoyment involved so to some extent peeps' perogative to enjoy burning money as they please, it's also like _not great_... maybe _don't_ do it, and the world is better, I _dunno_

It’s absolutely a zero sum game. I think that’s part of the appeal. It’s like sports competition one side wins and one side loses. Like sports, unless you are amongst the best in the world at it, it is probably best to do it just for fun.
