Yes because if a state wants to go ahead and make that mistake then let them have it.

But I think gambling should be legal yes. Everywhere whereit has been legalized it has largely benefited the economy. Las Vegas and Atlantic City are there for you to see for yourselves.
And yes, it it possibly to consistently win, you just have to know how to bet, and know the tricks. The reon most(I think 90%) of he people loose is because they are too stupid to bother to learn it.

Go outside the casinos in A.City. That towns a dump.

Option 1, though anyone who gambles as a way of making money is a fool.

If you just simply enjoy gambling, that's fine, but in the long run you are guaranteed to lose money.

Not true. Believe it or not, there's people who gamble for a living(though they are a rarity). These people are pros too, they know how to gamble and win consistently. Also, even infrequent gamblers can make money in the long run if they know how. So, while possible to lose money in the long run, it's no gaurantee.
There are people who play Poker for money. If you know the best way to play and find people who don't and are willing to play you for largish sums, you'll usually gain money. There is a risk of losing, but if that qualifies as gambling then so does any business venture.

Exactly - life is all about gambling. Every time you decide to do one thing rather than another, you are taking a chance that you will make more(in money, enjoyment, or other form of gain) than you would by making a different decision. If you never take chances, you'll never get anywhere - but you can often make more by gauging the odds wisely.

The stock market is a gamble.
