Sickening to see state promoting gambling, creating addicts (Letters)

Flashier ads promote gambling in Mass.! Losing money causes stressful conditions to families barely getting by. Even sensible people are being lured into giving these hucksters money. Those hyped-up ads, like “bet five dollars and we’ll give you two hundred dollars,” are a marketing ploy to get you hooked on gambling away your money. A cautious gambler knows that these sites make millions off gambling odds.

Bragging about creating large tax revenues after legalizing gambling in Mass. is sickening to hear. Good people are being preyed upon by these professional scammers, and very few realize that they’ve become the suckers. After being misled that you’ll become rich, just call the help line? Here they’ll blame you for giving them your money, because you have an addiction to gamble. The house never loses, because the odds are highly in their favor.

Doesn’t crime increase when people lose money? Eventually gamblers will realize that the odds of winning are very unlikely.
