[quote=Anonymous]I've been having preliminary conversations about gambling with my sports-obsessed kid. He loves fantasy football and is exactly the kind of teen boy that could get sucked into gambling. I tried to explain to him how much money these companies need to make in order to afford all their technology, their huge advertising budgets, paying their shareholders and staff, etc. And how that means they have people on staff who meticulously figure out how to set the odds in such a way to guarantee they can pay for all these expenses AND make a profit. So - the vast majority of people who use these gambling sites lose, otherwise they would not be in business. And how if he sends them money, he needs to know he's just funding their business. Maybe one time he nets a profit, but the next time and the time after that...etc....he's funding their business. That kinda seemed to sink in. We'll see.[/quote]
