Really? We're at the start of likely millions of fantasy football leagues with buy ins, the recent huge lottery jackpot had a tons of people buying a few tickets, and places like Vegas are always popular tourist spots.

I feel like there's less middle ground then drinking, fewer people are safely going to the casino a few times a month compared to people going to a bar. But a lot of people casually gamble.

I was thinking of casinos and sportsbooks specifically, where you can basically bet (and lose) however much you want. Indeed, lotteries and informally organized fantasy sports pools are somewhat less dangerous.
