Such a study would likely take years to provide data with statistical significance and it would require some entity to fund it.  So many entities are making money off this that it will be difficult to curtail.  Class action lawsuits are coming.  Families devastated.  Inheritances wiped clean.  It’s all coming.

This is why I hate the celebrity endorsers more than the gambling itself.   Theoretically, I wouldn’t have that big a problem with some schlep with no job prospects or source of income making money off advertising for Draft Kings or whatever.  Of course that would never happen.  Why would they pay such a person to stump for them?  Instead we have Lebron James , Kevin Hart, Jamie Fox , the freaking Mannings , Wayne Gretzky .  They really need the cash that bad?  Nobody calls them on this crap.  If I ever had a chance to meet these people in person , it’s the only thing I’d say to them.

“How do you live with yourself knowing you are contributing in some small way to a kid going hungry  or sleeping in a house without heat in winter because their dad lost money they couldn’t afford to lose doing something you not only encouraged / recommended , but made money from?”
