I saw one of these where a guy had a multi-monitor setup with all the local interstate traffic cameras pulled up simultaneously. He was gambling on all of them. One of them had a screaming tantrum because he didn’t predict the right number of cars that would pass through before the light changed.

The Illinoisification of the US is such a wild thing to see.

    Me too. Being good at World of Warcraft taught me that I can never touch an addictive drug, gamble, or collect expensive things. The gambling epidemic would have probably ruined my life as a teenager.

      For me it was gambling a couple of times with scratchers/slots for the novelty of it and losing every time, that and I find games like blackjack & poker more stressful than fun.

      I don’t even gamble in videogames unless I can adjust my luck stat lol
