While legal, I wish it wasn't: Smoking can give a person cancer, gambling gives the whole family financial cancer.

ESPN, Fox Sport, et al, should be ashamed.

The amount of televised gambling ads for any sport (but particularly NHL) is crazy!
I wish they would go the way of the cigarette ads of the past.

I work way to hard for my money to gamble although I do purchase lotto tickets on occasion when the payout is way up.
