The Truth About Illegal Gambling

[Timx4]

Just dont abuse gambling thats all. But if u have chance, stay away from gambling.

[darkjoker142]

rarely some people get lucky and win big, but mainly by chance and pure luck.

[darkjoker142]

and actually gambling is illegal in the mind since it falls in the same catwgory as scamming. cause as everyone should know, no matter what you play in a casino, the house is always gonna win.

[darkjoker142]

by the way im a member of the mississippi band of choctaw indians just so you know.

[blackjacklover70]

gambling is not a problem if u don't gambling more then u then u need to. take a the number of cash with u and don't go over. however gambling on line is a problem it is like one bad slot machine u don't win and people cheat u out of your money, but that is only with illegal online casinos. i as we tax the online casinos witch will put a better chance for gamber to win and have fun.

[blackandblue10]

"Just say no to illegal gambling".. if it's in a licensed casino, it's not illegal now is it?

[nctrls2]

Vote yes for casino.

[jawbreaker480]

why the hell is gambling illegal!!?? whats wrong with gambling!!??

[Beebobb]

If casinos are illegal then why do the Indians have them>

[greymoose1000]

I live in the most backward state in the Union. The culture down here will never change. Religious nuts who don't want you to gamble, buy alcohol, have sex, or breathe. Same old crap. Why people in our state put up with this is beyond me.

[jmua04]

What a bunch of morons. Alerbammer is a laughing stock stuck in the 1950's. Keep the church out of politics!! The religious zealots have made a joke of this state since it's conception and it will never end.

[FQCS]

I like casinos :)

Oh and, it's not "illegal" if it's legalized (but nice try with words, though) These days, people see right through the hype. You're not fooling anyone- you just look like a fool.

[sethisawesome]

NO! NOT ACROSS FROM MY CHURCH

[ProcyonBeta7]

Church folk down here will pretty much always vote to keep gambling illegal. They don't seem to understand that it is a futile effort and only hurts them and Alabama as a whole in the end. The illegal casinos in Alabama are here to stay, so why not regulate and control them? Legalizing gambling is not without its risks, but the benefits far outweigh the risks in this case. More money to fund better education, improve streets, the list goes on... We've got to implement control over gambling here.

[jchampion1]

Look at this BS. I wonder who funded these commercials...Choctaw Indians??? It was funded by Mississippi gambling interest that are lining Bingo Bob Riley's pockets...The baptist preachers are for it b/c they think the offering plate won't be as full...what a crock. And you think it will hurt the poor single mothers??? they already travel to Mississippi casinos to give them their money!!

[tayoakam]

Is this the same organization that lobbies against truck stops and Hooters Restraunts all over Alabama? Look at all the evil they bring.

[jebman38]

Great comment glaked23....by the way, I found it funny how you wrote "there education" instead of "their education". You really drove your point home with that. Anyway, for years Alabama residents cross state lines to gamble. Be it lotteries, table games, slot machines, sports books, etc., the revenue generated is astounding. If you don't like bingo...don't play.

[ldksparda]

Let people gamble! Besides, crooks run the state, why not let it get more crooked.

[MrBlackfish011]

I am so sick of this shit, legalize gambling, and if you think its wrong to gamble, then don't

[mickey4301974]

burn down all the churches build casinos

[vhghe]

i hope you get robbed from someone that gets in heaps of gambling debt you douche

[glaked23]

No no no no. I don't want everyone to suffer because some stupid idiots try gambling and lose all there money, family, and there education. I don't want my self to have to suffer because some incompetent idiots hurt themselves on it.

[missylk30]

most of the comments on this page look like something taking from an "Evils of gambling" pamphlet or a twelve step guide to curing compulsive gamblings

[Saban1983]

Yes. We should never build casinos in the blackbelt or wiregrass regions because they have too many jobs as it is. However, I bet the poor folks down there feel poor enough already and enjoy it very much. and would probably hate to see their children go to new public schools, or maybe attend college.. No, they'd rather stay poor.... Let the citizens vote on gambling in their town. Alabama should have casinos or a lottery, just like our neighbors do.

[missylk30]

That is what pissed me off when we voted on a lottery before, which was not a damn landslide not matter what Riley says....the commercials basically implied poor people are stupid.......the reality is people dumb enough spend their rent and grocery money on gambling are already driving across the state line to do it now.........just because I suddenly have the opportunity to grab a ticket at the gas station doesn't mean I will suddenly go insane and hand them my whole paycheck..

[WhatsupAlabama]

When are the people(church folk included) who bet on Alabama & Auburn football gonna stop making the Bookies Rich? Alabama is the number TWO Betting Place(Illegal) on College football games outside of Vegas. Let the voters decide and Mr. Riley save the taxpayers money and don't give$400k to your Attorney friends. And when is Mr. Riley going to answer Yes or No to the question did he take $3 million from the Choctaw tribe from Mississippi during the 2002 election? They are already crooked folks!

[mariedavisking]
