Gambling mostly has a negative affect on the people who can least afford it.
I grew up with a lot of guys who gambled using bookies. When OTB came to New York these same guys still used bookies because they paid better odds. OTB was and may still be operated by a private concern out of Buffalo with State oversight (well the state wants their cut) .
OTB (Horse racing in general) all casino gambling hold no interest for me Lottery yea to a degree
I do get a kick when OTB and Stores selling Lotto's who post Gamblers Anonymous signs
