I don't think you can kill corporate run gambling - people will just use some offshore website instead.

It might be something we should treat more like smoking.

- Require a disclosure of the EV of each bet as the user is placing it. E.g.: Expected loss $5.

- Ad targeting restrictions.

You can't kill murder; murder will always exist.

Surely, like murder, and other negative outcome behaviors, we can reduce the occurrences, right?

Yeah. Just like we do for smoking. I don't think I get your point. Are you agreeing with the prior commenter?
