Gambling apps are now the #1, fastest growing addiction on US colleges with 1 in 5 students hooked. Not drugs. Not alcohol. Gambling. Kids are graduating financially ruined before their lives even start. As if the insane cost of college isn’t bad enough.

I bet $10/game and I bet 2-3 football games in a weekend. I do it for the same reasons someone goes to a casino. Some people gamble within their means.

It doesn’t matter about quality. It’s a field that rife with opportunity, unlike the tobacco industry. Gambling isn’t going anywhere, despite how gross it is.

The fine print says its betting credits though, that’s standard for all the gambling apps. Give you some free credits to start but you can’t cash em out. It’s like free crack

No worse than the others out there.

I meant the other gambling apps. Only thing just as bad or worse is tobacco.
