All of America is TOO all in on gambling, or at least the amount. Of gambling companies and commercials are eclipsing male help type products .
People who seem to like betting are folk that shouldn't be wasting money , they should spend first for health of their children, shelter , gas and other essentials. It screws with their priorities. I don’t think encouraging them is good.
I haven't spent a ton of time outside the U.S. but I lived in Ireland for 4 months and was surprised to see that sports gambling is a totally common thing. So much so that there are storefronts for sports books in many tons.
I think the gambling is just as and more common (and often more common) in other countries. The difference is marketing.
