And alcohol is the same. I'm a firm believer in being accountable for your own actions and to quit putting it on society to take away from the majority due to the problems of the few. Gambling has been around since the beginning of time and just because Ohio was very late to the game of sports gambling doesn't make it a problem. Horseracing has been around and prominent in Ohio for ages. Casino's not so long but they've been here for about 10 years or more. If players are being contacted by a bunch of young idiots because they lost their lunch money, than either laugh at them or ignore them. And if threats are made, contact law enforcement.
