re: #237 iossarian

A big part of any government’s role is defining what is an acceptable level of “gambling”. In the obvious case, this is why governments have pretty much always regulated actual betting. It is also why government gets involved with healthcare, and with the regulation of all kinds of industries (e.g., seat belts).

And this case will probably lead to even more unnecessary regulation. Because some people are too stupid/lazy to take care of themselves the rest of us will have to suffer.
