We will be voting whether or not to allow slots at race tracks. Those opposed bring up addiction or religious reasons. What is the difference between gambling and investing in stocks? You risk your money for a possible profit. I'm forced to participate in a 401K because my employers(God rot them!) froze pensions. I lost hundreds of dollars with "low risk" investments. Others lost tens of thousands. If gambling with your retirement isn't immoral, I don't see why having some fun with my own money and losing it is. I could go see a bad movie, or eat at a bad restaurant, but nobody cares. If I buy state lottery tickets or go to church bingo games, it is OK. If I put my money in a slot and pull the handle I am EVIL! WHY? I don't gamble much because I'm risk adverse, but I would like to know the difference between "good" gambling and "bad" gambling.
