	unday in New Orleans\, the Philadelphia Eagles will try to block the Kansa
	s City Chiefs from taking home an historic third consecutive Super Bowl ti
	tle.\n\nThere will also be an historic amount of money riding on the game.
	 The American Gaming Association estimates that nearly $1.4 billion will b
	e legally wagered\, as Paul Solman reports\, proof of a snowballing and po
	tentially perilous sports betting craze.\n\nEli Manning\, Former NFL Playe
	r:\n\nI'm doing the FanDuel Kick of Destiny 3 live Super Bowl Sunday.\n\nP
	aul Solman:\n\nSuper Bowl Sunday\, our eyes and ears blitzed by calls to g
	et in on the action.\n\nKevin Hart\, Actor:\n\nNow\, I know it's the Super
	 Bowl and all\, but everyone gets a free bet?\n\nPaul Solman:\n\nNearly se
	ven years after the Supreme Court struck down the ban on commercial sports
	 betting\, 39 states and the District of Colombia have legalized it.\n\nLa
	st year\, more than one in three Americans said they'd put money on a game
	 at some point in their life\, up from the year before\, while the America
	n Gaming Association estimates that commercial sports betting revenue reac
	hed more than $14 billion\, up 28 percent from 2023.\n\nRob Minnick\, Form
	er Gambler:\n\nAnd it's gotten to a point where\, if you're not betting on
	 sports\, people are starting to question why you're watching the game.\n\
	nPaul Solman:\n\nFor 25-year-old Philadelphia resident Rob Minnick\, the g
	ambling gateway was fantasy sports played as a teenager. The switch to spo
	rts betting\, which he began on illegal and offshore sites before turning 
	the legal age of 21\, was all too easy.\n\nRob Minnick:\n\nIf I was going 
	to hang out with my friends or a family event was going to be happening\, 
	the center focal point was a professional sport of some kind. And so this 
	idea that we could do what we were already doing\, but now make money doin
	g it\, it was like way too good to be true. And it was.\n\nPaul Solman:\n\
	nToo good because fun with friends became six to eight hours a day of comp
	ulsive gambling.\n\nRob Minnick:\n\nGambling was my way of expressing myse
	lf to prove I was smart\, to prove I could win\, to prove that I was worth
	y. And the money kind of reflected the scoreboard.\n\nPaul Solman:\n\nAfte
	r six years of betting\, he joined Gamblers Anonymous\, eventually kicking
	 his habit two years ago\, and now hosting a podcast \"One Day At a Time: 
	Gambling Awareness\,\" talking to people like himself about their struggle
	s.\n\nMan:\n\nI started sports gambling\, which was really what was my big
	gest vice\, when I was 19.\n\nRob Minnick:\n\nI'm going to call this an ep
	idemic of addiction that's heading towards the United States\, if not alre
	ady hitting the United States. It's not because the doors opened up and yo
	u got access. It's because the doors opened up and people started pulling 
	you through those doors.\n\nMan:\n\nAll right\, boys\, who are we betting 
	on?\n\nPaul Solman:\n\nWith the ads and come-ons that now buffet us all. O
	f course\, gambling addiction is nothing new\, but understanding how big t
	he problem is difficult\, as there's no comprehensive national data.\n\nTh
	e National Council on Problem Gambling estimates about 2.5 million America
	ns meet the criteria for severe gambling problem\, while another 2 percent
	 to 3 percent have a mild or moderate problem. And recent studies found th
	at legal sports betting decreased household savings and investments\, led 
	to more bankruptcies and loan delinquencies\, even contributed to a rise i
	n domestic violence.\n\nHarry Levant\, Northeastern University:\n\nI made 
	my last bet on April 27\, 2014\, and on that same night\, nearly took my o
	wn life.\n\nPaul Solman:\n\nFormer lawyer Harry Levant\, disbarred for ste
	aling some $2 million from client funds to fuel his gambling addiction. No
	w a licensed counselor and advocate for reform\, Levant testified before t
	he Senate Judiciary Committee in December.\n\nHarry Levant:\n\nWe have kno
	wn for more than 12 years that gambling is an addictive product and gambli
	ng disorder is an addiction similar to heroin\, opioids\, tobacco\, alcoho
	l and cocaine.\n\nPaul Solman:\n\nLevant's own struggles began well before
	 the advent of widespread legal sports betting\, and he acknowledges that 
	states now receive a cut of gambling revenues to build roads\, schools and
	 even fund treatment\, like the 1-800 gambler help lines tagging those ads
	 you see everywhere.\n\nAnd so:\n\nHarry Levant:\n\nI'm sympathetic to the
	 need of our elected officials to balance budgets\, but what has happened 
	here is\, they have no recognition or very little recognition of the produ
	ct the gambling industry and its sports and media partners have rolled out
	.\n\nNarrator:\n\nThis is you\, and this is your powerful hunch.\n\nPaul S
	olman:\n\nHe's pointing to the boom in offerings since the ban was lifted.
	\n\nNarrator:\n\nWith FanDuel\, it's easier than ever to…\n\nPaul Solman
	:\n\nProposition bets\, wagers on the first player to score a touchdown at
	 the Super Bowl\,the length of the national anthem there\, whether Taylor 
	Swift and Travis Kelce get engaged.\n\nJamie Foxx\, Actor:\n\nBetMGM has g
	ot all the sports betting in one place and it's live\, baby.\n\nPaul Solma
	n:\n\nThere's live betting\, which turns every moment of every game into a
	 betting opportunity\, and with A.I. constantly adjusting the odds.\n\nNar
	rator:\n\nYou have got the power to create your perfect parlay any way you
	 want.\n\nPaul Solman:\n\nAnd there are parlays\, which string together mu
	ltiple bets\, giving winners potentially sky-high payouts\, but stacking t
	he deck hugely in favor of the house\, a fact that is not advertised.\n\nM
	an:\n\nAnd we will take an 18 again.\n\nMan:\n\nYes\, yes.\n\nMan:\n\nWe w
	ill get our money back.\n\nPaul Solman:\n\nFinally\, livestreaming on both
	 legal and offshore sites\, and featuring influencers like mega-rapper Dra
	ke…\n\nMan:\n\nYou want $20\,000. Congratulations\, man.\n\nPaul Solman:
	\n\n… who is paid to play and lure in new players.\n\nAll the while\, th
	e sports books harvest data from users\, gaining insight into how to keep 
	customers coming back.\n\nHarry Levant:\n\nI'd like to say it this way. Wh
	en the first cave person invented the first wheel\, there was some schmuck
	 three caves down laying 3-1 the wheel wouldn't work. Gambling has been ar
	ound a very long time. It's not going anywhere.\n\nBut this is a fundament
	ally new\, different\, defective and dangerous online product.\n\nPaul Sol
	man:\n\nLast year\, Senator Richard Blumenthal and Representative Andrea S
	alinas\, both Democrats\, introduced the Gambling Recovery Investment and 
	Treatment Act to fund treatment and also research.\n\nFive states with som
	e form of legal gambling currently offer no funding at all for the treatme
	nt\, and in September Blumenthal joined Democratic representative Paul Ton
	ko of New York to propose the SAFE Bet Act to limit TV ads\, restrict the 
	number and the type of bets\, ban A.I. use to track players habits and cre
	ate micro-bets\, among other things.\n\nHarry Levant:\n\nEvery other addic
	tive product\, government regulates the advertising\, promotion\, distribu
	tion\, and consumption.\n\nPaul Solman:\n\nSitting just behind Harry Levan
	t at that Senate hearing in December was the American Gaming Association's
	 Joe Maloney. The AGA says federal regulation not only isn't necessary\; i
	t will actually make things.\n\nJoe Maloney\, American Gaming Association:
	\n\nThe advancements in technology are just going to continue to take plac
	e. They're just not going to take place in the legal regulated market.\n\n
	Paul Solman:\n\nThis is the key to the legal industry's argument\, that it
	's taking the action away from illegal gambling\, with its loan sharks\, k
	neecappers\, and unregulated offshore markets that teenagers like Rob Minn
	ick use.\n\nSo\, for example\, in 2022\, in Texas and California\, which h
	aven't legalized sports betting\, the AGA says players spent more than $60
	0 million in the illegal markets.\n\nJoe Maloney:\n\nWhere they're prey to
	 deceptive consumer practices\, where there's no promotion of responsibili
	ty whatsoever\, and there's zero taxes being remitted back into the state 
	for the purposes of providing accessible clinical support for those demons
	trating problematic activity or any other priority that they might deem th
	ose monies to go to.\n\nPaul Solman:\n\nThe SAFE Bet act is expected to be
	 reintroduced in this Congress\, although both Rob Minnick and Harry Levan
	t agree\, the legal gambling genie is out of the bottle.\n\nHarry Levant:\
	n\nI encourage people to become more aware of what is happening and unders
	tand there are serious risks involved and become part of the conversation 
	to bring public health reform\, not to prevent people from enjoying gambli
	ng\, but to prevent an industry and its partners from preying on the publi
	c.\n\nAnd\, with that\, I wish people who are gambling on a Super Bowl for
	 recreational reasons\, I wish them well with their bets. Enjoy the game. 
	I'm in Philadelphia right now. I need to say\, go\, birds.\n\nPaul Solman:
	\n\nFor the uninitiated\, those birds would be the Eagles.\n\nAnd for you 
	all and the \"PBS News Hour\,\" Paul Solman in Boston. \n\n\n\n\n	 \n\n\n
	\n	IN AMENDMENT\n\n\n\n	 \n\n\n\n	WHERE IS THE SNAKE MAN FOR LEGAL GAMBLI
	NG + ALCOHOL DRINKING + SMOKING CIGARETTES ? I have never seen him\, why?\

	M\, ProfD said:\n	\n\n	\n		\n			 \n		\n\n		\n			Gambling has been huge fo
	r almost 100 years now.😎\n		\n	\n\n\n\n	Gambling has been huge since hu
	manity existed. Gambling was huge at the time of the pharoahs. But gamblin
	g\, like all potentially addictive actions [cocaine/chocolate/fornication]
	 can become a self induced crime. But during the time of the pharoahs no p
	otentially addictive actions\, that can lead to self induced crime\,  wer
	e illegalized.\n\n\n\n	So to get to modernity\, where are the black electe
	d officials legislations to legalize addictive actions that will aid black
	 profiteering? I can't find any bills even put to the legislatures? why? 
	\n\n\n\n	\n		On 2/8/2026 at 10:21 AM\, ProfD said:\n	\n\n	\n		\n			So far\
	, about $1.7 billion dollars has been bet on Super Bowl LX.😎\n		\n	\n\n
	\n\n	 \n\n\n\n	and how much of that is through gambling addiction? \n\n\
	n\n	Comprehend I am not knocking profiteering\, but in my eyes\, gambling 
	addiction is being deemed an acceptable\, not merely legal\, but acceptabl
	e\, why can't the others be acceptable? no one can give any valid reason.

	neer1 said:\n	\n\n	\n		\n			This is supposedly a \"free\" country so if pe
	ople want to waste their money away gambling or MAKE a fortune gambling...
	it should be their decision.\n		\n	\n\n\n\n	Are you in support of legalizi
	ng all drugs/prostitution/ and other illegal acts\, since you share this l
	ibertarian position?\n\n\n\n	\n		On 2/8/2026 at 7:15 AM\, Pioneer1 said:\n
		\n\n	\n		\n			It's really a \"problem\" only because so much money is bei
	ng circulated around without taxes being taken out.\n		\n	\n\n\n\n	Really?
	 gambling is global\, taxing across borders is a complex mess. Can you pro
	vide a source to your assertion?\n\n\n\n	I argue gambling addiction has a 
	greater financial negative but because it is dominated by whites\, who hav
	e the money to gamble\, it isn't criminalized in media or the legal system
	\, what say you?\n\n\n\n	 \n\n\n\n	\n		On 2/8/2026 at 7:15 AM\, Pioneer1 
	said:\n	\n\n	\n		\n			The numbers game was a \"problem\" too....until the 
	states started running and regulating it and get THEIR cut of the money...
	..now it's promoted.\n		\n	\n\n\n\n	Wait a minute the first lotto was in N
	YC and to be even \, white owned nyc media never said the numbers game in 
	harlem was a problem. You know who actually said the numbers was a problem
	\, black media\, the black church. The NYPD and the mob\, which at that ti
	me in nyc was very powerful\,  made good money off of the numbers. White 
	media never called the numbers a problem\, it was black people\, specifica
	lly the black churches and its self righteous acolytes  and black individ
	uals who... I will rest my thoughts. \n\n\n\n	One thing\, the lotto is no
	t a continuation of the numbers\, from a statistical perspective\, the num
	bers have better odds than the lotto. The lotto did supplant the numbers i
	n the black populace\, and again\, led by black churches and their members
	 who.. anyway\, the lotto did supplant but it is a lie to say it is a cont
	inuation of the numbers. Like legal sports gambling\, if you look at the s
	tatistical details\, it is far worse odds than illegal gambling\, whether 
	the numbers or other. \n\n\n\n	 \n\n\n\n	02082026\n\n\n\n	 \n\n\n\n	CIT

	8/2026 at 11:39 AM\, Pioneer1 said:\n	\n\n	\n		\n			Absolutely.\n\n			Lega
	lized and regulated.\n		\n	\n\n\n\n	I didn't comprehend how much a support
	er you are of regulation till the following\n\n\n\n	\n		On 2/8/2026 at 11:
	39 AM\, Pioneer1 said:\n	\n\n	\n		\n			Go to any bar\, factory\, and many 
	street corners and you'll find people gambling freely and not paying taxes
	 on their winnings.\n		\n\n		\n			 \n		\n	\n\n\n\n	i see so a private car
	d game has to be taxed\, not easy to implement that\, unless invasion of p
	rivacy becomes legally acceptable. The federal government has tools to do 
	it\, but those tools don't allow the kind of flagrant use needed to tax ca
	rd games and craps. \n\n\n\n	\n		On 2/8/2026 at 11:39 AM\, Pioneer1 said:
	\n	\n\n	\n		\n			As far as the racial component.....people of all races te
	nd to gamble so I'm not sure what to say about that.\n		\n\n		\n			 \n		\
	n	\n\n\n\n	you miss the financial reality of scale. Black people have alwa
	ys gambled as whites but the scales are far different and that matters\, n
	umerically\, financially\, it is not the same scale and thus can't have th
	e same penalty of scale if numerically proportional. Cause if not\, then s
	upport every single business being to big to fail. the rational behind too
	 big too fail is that the major banks in the banking industry can't fail b
	ecause of their scale\, so scale is accepted by whites in the usa\, so bla
	cks\, even statian blacks like yourself\, should be able to comprehend sca
	le in penalization.and thus white gambling is a higher scale than black ga
	mbling in the usa. \n\n\n\n	\n		On 2/8/2026 at 11:39 AM\, Pioneer1 said:\
	n	\n\n	\n		\n			The same Black church who was GIVING OUT numbers for peopl
	e to play?\n		\n\n		\n			 \n		\n	\n\n\n\n	the black church was not the ma
	in numbers agents ever in nyc\, maybe outside nyc\, even enough\, but in n
	yc the black churches/black church was never the main agent. Many black pe
	ople who went to church played numbers cause many black people did\, it wa
	s a chance to make a dollar. But black churches were not the main agents i
	n nyc. \n\n\n\n	\n		On 2/8/2026 at 11:39 AM\, Pioneer1 said:\n	\n\n	\n		\
	n			How do you know this?\n		\n	\n\n\n\n	In nyc you can see the odds for e
	ach game on a lotto ticket. They are worse odds than the numbers. A littl
	e arithmetic three digits each have ten possibilities\, zero to nine three
	 times\,  so the odds is ten to the third power\, ten times ten time ten\
	,  that is one out of a thousand\, that is far better than any legal lott
	o system. Come on.. if you want to hate the village just say so. But here\
	, don't take my word for it. \n\n\n\n	https://www.lotteryusa.com/news/his

	g or arm for a gambling debt.\n\n			Never heard of the state shooting and 
	killing anybody for trying to pass off a phony winning ticket.\n\n			\n\n	
			\n\n			How do you know so much about illegal gambling vs legal gambling?
	\n		\n	\n\n\n\n	awwwww\n\n\n\n	The numbers are different... you just love 
	knocking the village\, or maybe you love upsetting me. \n\n\n\n	The gambl
	ing debt your talking about isn't numbers\, or playing cards or dice becau
	se you can't play any of them without money upfront. you can't have a gamb
	ling debt with cards/dice/numbers... the slot machine\, playing the horses
	\, cause you need money to play upfront. \n\n\n\n	The only way you can ha
	ve a gambling debt playing numbers is if you went to a loan shark to get m
	oney to play numbers\, but you talk about libertarianism\, who told you to
	 go to a loan shark? You just championed libertarianism but then when it e
	xtends to actions you don't think people should be free to do \, you cite 
	crime ahhhh\n\n\n\n	 \n\n\n\n	Know so much? In my own mind I don't know a

	 today. So\, lobbies aren't an excuse for anything. Elected officials choo
	se the lobbies whose financial support they accept. But again\, it is a ch
	oice. In terms of black affairs the tobacco lobbies would support a law th
	at will lower their taxation or industrial limits while doing things for b
	lack smoking industries like marijuana. Lobbies for womens rights will sup
	port laws to legalize prostitution\, if said laws offer more impowerment t
	o women \n\n\n\n	No profd\, every side on all positions has lobbies today
	. \n\n\n\n	Now\, if black elected officials have secrets or can be extort
	ed/twisted by lobbies for things they have done or people they have associ
	ations with \, well that isn't the power of lobbies that is the weakness o
	f elected officials. \n\n\n\n	I will never forget when a black elected of
	ficial was taking money in the new york state assembly and he had his pay 
	money in tupperware. I wasn't angry he got caught\, the price of illegal b
	ehavior is always the threat of being caught. But\, he had dirty money in 
	tupperware in his fridgerator? what kind of \"american gangster\" put your
	 money behind a bunch of dogs\, feces is this. And he has no excuse histor
	ically \, black people have made accounts in swiss banks. Black people hav
	e taken dirty money and not been caught. So if elected officials are fools
	 well ok\, but that isn't about the lobbies. \n\n\n\n	  5 hours ago\, 
	ProfD said:\n\n\n\n	Politicians dare not bite the hands that are feeding 
	them.\n\n\n\n	Modern District of Columbia is full of titties from all over
	 the world and in all industries and sectors\, full of titties. Change the
	 titty you suckling from. Whatever you want to do\, if you have imaginatio
	n\, if you have will\, the titty is out there\, waiting for your mouth. If
	 you don't want to change the titty you suckling from\, your free cause ot
	her money is out there\, shame on you. If the titty you suckling from has 
	some shackle on you\, shame on you. \n\n\n\n	 \n\n\n\n	02112026\n\n\n\n

	ny politicians are sucking on one titty or several.\n\n\n\n	it isn't a pro
	blem\, you and pioneer always talk about intelligence\, well\, black elect
	ed officials are smart enough to get all they need to suckle and still do 
	the for black populace? aren't they? That is the point of a law maker\, ma
	ke laws to satisfy the titties you suckle from WHILE do for the populace i
	n your voting area. the key is imagination. If they don't have it\, shame 
	on them. If they are extorted shame on them. \n\n
