ONLINE GAMBLING
Mainstream Media's Obession with Gambling

In order to stay abreast of what's happening in this industry, I make a conscious effort to read any and every gambling related article that I can get my hands on. In doing so, one thing has become increasingly clear to me: the mainstream media have no intention of reporting a positive gambling related story.

Instead, they remain content to report only the negative aspects of gambling without even bothering to investigate the positive.

Addiction, bankruptcy and even murder have been blamed on gambling, and though I'm not saying that these media outlets are printing lies, they fail to mention that millions of people are having good clean responsible fun and not hurting anybody in the process.

Why don't we see articles in the mainstream media about the guy who won $20,000 playing the slots and bought his son a new car? How's that any different from the guy who won the lottery and makes the front page of my daily newspaper? It's not like some people aren't addicted to buying lottery tickets - it just doesn't get reported. So why can't the gambling industry get some bright light?

For most, visiting a casino or gambling online is just another form of entertainment. Some people enjoy going to the movies, while some enjoy fine dining. Some choose to spend their money on attending sporting events, while some.....enjoy going to the casino! What's the difference whether I choose to spend my entertainment dollars on going to the movies or visiting the casino? There isn't.

Next time you win big at the casino or online, try sending a press release to your local paper and see if they pick up the story. I bet you $100 they don't. And if they do, we'll play double or nothing. Wait, do I have a problem? Somebody call a reporter!!!
