    But they’re spending their kids’ inheritance. I can see the innocence in putting a few quid against your mates betting on horses. But capitalised rigged gambling is just immoral

      This. When only one side of the bet can lose. It is not gambling but rigged capitalism.

      When an industry manages to remove all the risk from investment. While offering little to the society they inhabit.

      High taxation to help return their cost to society. Seems a bare minimum charge.

        At least with the likes of a lottery the odds are obvious and “only one person winning each month”, etc. A fruit machine programmed to only win once a month isn’t.
