Gambling increased because many states recently legalized it. Any other correlation is puff science.

I know more than a few degenerate gamblers. My one buddy bets ~250k/yr, the rest are about ~100k. I'm like 10k (and through luck or skill I end every year up between 2-10k).

I'm the only gamer of this group of 10 people, even as kids.

This research is not about the US. Also don't use a slur for homosexual to denigrate anything.

Puff is not a slur, puff science indicates that it’s vaporous or there is no basis or grounds.

Poof on the other hand, could be taken as a slur, sure.

Let’s relax.

The slur is spelled differently, and puff science (and its predecessor term puff/puffery) predate the slur by over a century.
