Of course if you could ban gambling world wide that might be a good thing as it is a tax on stupidity - then again if you *really* think you can beat the odds - heh go for it.

Anyone who gambles for profit without being the house is an idiot, granted.

For that portion of the population, gambling is not a stupidity tax. For the rest of the population, however....
