http://blair-beingbad.blogspot.com/2007/04/gambling.htmlI agree with Blair that gambling is bad only when it becomes an addiction, the only thing people live for and an entity they spend all their earnings on. It is true that the glitter and glamour of gigantic casinos drove people crazy with greed, but if there were no gambling, wouldn’t those people find themselves another thing that would destroy them?
Apart from the dark side of gambling, it is also a very refine sport and an exquisite way to spend the time. Just like Blair wrote, gambling comes in dozens of sorts. The ‘Big Fish’ bet on racetracks and play poker, others chose the roulette or a simple one-armed bandit. And some just buy a ticket for the National Lottery. This is just fun, a way in which people can relax and unwind after a hard day at a well-paid job.
On the other hand I cannot agree with Blair that England does not need 24/7 casino giants, if a place was built in England similar to Atlantic City or Las Vegas it would be an absolute must-see for every tourist that comes here.
