Gambling needs to just disappear and die forever from every little part of everyone's life, and good riddance to casinos too. All it is is people agreeing on how to rob each other, and so many worthless people try to use it and enforce it on everything.

There's nothing like the pieces of garbage doing their illegal dog fights. "If my dog kills yours I get your money". The dogs should be legally allowed to kill the people that put them through the experiences. Same happens to people in prisons and bars and everything else too. Forced to fight, and people bet on them like they are nothing, they are just hoping to put in a little money and hope whoever they picked won the fight and then they think they are entitled to the money of whoever lost. It invades everything like a disease. Wherever there's a lot of people doing something competitive, there's the biggest pieces of garbage betting on them, and constantly trying to rig the competition by beefing up their side and sabotaging opponents, and then maybe even killing others and taking their money even if they lost the bet. Gambling's for idiots, and somebody ALWAYS needs to lose, possibly even their lives. I'm sure there's even idiots gambling on who the new president of the US will be. "Der-dee-der, I have no concrete unquestionable proof of who will win, I'll pick a side and gamble, and throw a fit if I lose the guessing game or brag about winning that money I'm entitled to for my excellent guessing and no effort and screw those other people who lost because they guessed wrong so they deserved to lose."

Also nothing like going to a bar and some drunk ape just tries to forcibly pull you into his gamble. "Hey you, random person who walked through the door 10 seconds ago, if I make this shot on the pool table that's almost impossible to lose that is rigged to win, you owe me $$ and I'm not letting you back out".

I agree. As a dog lover myself, I think Michael Vick should still be in jail for his dog fighting.
