Problem gambling not an issue for writer

I’m not much of a gambler. Over the past 30 years, I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve visited a casino. Most of the time, I took my mom, who enjoyed slot machines as a distraction in her old age. I’d go with a limited amount of money for the slots. After a few pulls on a slot machine, I’m done.

But many people do enjoy gambling as a source of entertainment, getting their betting information over the air waves.

Anyone who tunes into weekend sports contest are encouraged to “Bet. Bet. Bet” (as Fred Flintstone would say) on games in advertisements featuring the rich and famous — comedian Kevin Hart, basketball icon LeBron James andactorJamieFoxx amongothers—share their excitement for wagering.
