I know a few people whose lives have been destroyed by gambling. This is really bad to run ads and get people hooked at a young age.
I know someone who was addicted and quit, said quitting gambling was almost as hard as heroin , he did both. The brain releases dopamine when you gamble, and it reinforces the addictive behavior.
I am strongly opposed to sports betting ads. Maybe it is an extreme example, but when he said that it really opened my eyes to how bad this could get in a few years.
