You own shares of NFL teams?
The sports cards nonsense is also gambling. Because youre going to pay $1million – $12million for a 1952 Mickey Mantle because it gives you WHAT enjoyment in life?…………

Fantasy football is stupid as f.
It's better than the damn lottery. I've had a family member spend hundreds of thousands of dollars. She's independently wealthy and has never been married and makes an insane amount of money but still. She's spent tens of thousands of dollars per year $60,000 per year on average for over 10 years. Literally goes out multiple times on Christmas just to buy them. She's never won more than $500. Ever

Simply put, if there is REAL money at stake, it is GAMBLING.
Frontline should do a video on nuclear waste and nuclear power.
“No, I don’t consider it gambling. I look at it like my investment portfolio.”
