Casino Shills frequently raise the argument of alcholism and alcohol addiction to dismiss the hazards of Predatory Gambling.
Here's a list of a few things to consider in response to that defense:
How is it different than alcohol?
- Robert Mondavi drank the wine he made. Jim Koch (of Sam Adams Beer) drinks his own beer. Casino owners don’t use their own “product.” Nor do most of those who promote casinos like Cahill, Rosenberg, etc.
- The buzz or high you get is different than alcohol. It’s a cocaine-like high. No beer, wine or whiskey I’ve ever tasted has given me a high like I’m on cocaine.
- Drinking a beer or sipping a glass of wine does not offer the false promise of life-changing riches or the lure of giving me money for doing nothing
- If predatory gambling and drinking a beer are the same thing, then why is it that casinos are owned by millionaires (and billionaires) and the local tavern owner is usually just a regular guy?
- Plain and simple: anyone who compares drinking alcohol to using a predatory gambling product is not an experienced gambler. They did not call our country’s economic crisis “Napa Valley capitalism.” They called it “casino capitalism” - using predatory practices, financial gimmicks and something-for-nothing schemes to promote an illusion of free money, all at the expense of unsuspecting Americans.
