    More than once, my grandpa lost the rent check shooting craps at the VFW.

    In one place I lived the feds busted a local Moose lodge for having $35,000 poker games.

    The 50-50 raffle at one HS football game was $22,000.

    German Catholics, man.

    Whenever Draft Kings sends out a tweet that someone has a $700 8-team parlay which is one leg away from hitting, I think about the missed child support payments of the bettor.

    I took their free four bets with my $5, won my four bets, made my $150 and got my check yesterday. I’m done. I thank all the addicts for subsidizing.

    Is FanDuel actually bringing in that much revenue/making that much money, or are they throwing away some VC money?

    Longterm, legal betting on sports will prove ruinous.
