Me too, stack the vice in one spot and regulate the hell out of it like we did before.

Can I still play gamble with your friends?
Replying to @TIEPilot@lemmy.world
i hear the gambling industry as a whole is actually kind of struggling (outside of sports), as the stock market is more accessible than ever and that’s the biggest casino around really
Replying to @IronBird@lemmy.world
It’s also the only casino where the odds aren’t necessarily stacked against you.
In every other form of gambling, it’s a statistical certainty that you’ll eventually lose money doing it. But in stock gambling, it’s possible to come out ahead in the long run.
