Bruce Tuncks Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 I have been looking at the current situation regarding gambling in Australia and I doubt that the govt is really trying to stamp it out at all. What if anybody associated with a gambler ( wife, landlord, employer comes to mind as easy choices to start with ) could get his name added to a list? Then, anybody who took money from somebody on the list could have to refund it. Of course you would need protections to ensure that only problem gamblers were on the list and not just anybody who was disliked by the lister lot, but this would be possible if not so easy. Maybe they are afraid of unintended outcomes, like making more robberies happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

facthunter Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 They ROB you legally with monopolies. There's NO gamble if you have all the moves covered and deals well oiled. Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry_Atrick Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 Brings too much money to the industry and the government to want to stamp it out. Plus Gaming NSW, for example, apparently has a hell of a lot of clout. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Tuncks Posted July 22 Author Share Posted July 22 I was amazed to see how California lived with legalized gambling in neighboring Nevada without following suit like they would in Australia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
