Gambling

I was reading this morning that it may be a matter of time before casinos open up in New York City. The revenue that would come in is just too big to ignore and it seems like New York may be up next to legalize gambling.

It was a bit fitting as I’m in Lake Tahoe for the weekend and we will undoubtedly head to the casino on Friday and Saturday at the stateline. I understand the downsides of gambling, but as a reasonably responsible adult, my friends and I love the casinos.

Gambling led by sports betting has hit the point of no return. Despite gambling still being illegal in San Francisco, you don’t have to go far to find a bookie where you can place sports bets. I know a lot of friends who have accounts in different states as well.

At this point, states need to come to the realization that this is happening and gambling is an opportunity. San Francisco may want to take note of what’s happening. Perhaps legalized gambling may be that jolt to bring energy back to the city.
