Why Am I Against Casino/Gambling

Filosofo Tasio Lives

Of the so many vices and projects, I am entirely against gambling or casino.  They say that it is better than womanizing, or drinking for there is no return, albeit occasional winning.

But gambling destroys value.  It does not add to the society.  Casinos chance of winning is 70% to the gambler it is 30%.  How can you beat that?  Casino helps the poor, but makes more poor people in the process.  We have seen millionaires become paupers in a matter of months.

Gambling is a zero sum game.  Those who get rich (especially casino owners) do so at the expense of others, ie those who lose

And how does the casino treat the millionaires who become poor?  Can anyone guess.?

I support the church stand vs casino and gambling (But does it receive donation from PCSO or PAGCOR hehehe?)
