What are legitimate arguments for legalization of gambling? (self.asklemmy)

Question inspired by the news that Dave and Busters is supposed to be adding gambling to their games. And of course there are the sports betting apps.

I get that all things being equal we should let people do what they want to do. But I don't see much of a benefit, and a lot of downside to allowing the spread of gambling.

I'm about tired of hearing and seeing so much gambling shit. It destroys people, it really does.

Sometimes I can't even go on YouTube to watch like even dart streams without 7 people placing bets and complaining how a player cost them X amount of money because that they lost.

Gambling is about as infectious as porn is. Draft Kings can go fuck themselves too.
