  1. It is sad, but this sports beting game should stop with immedaiet effect, imagine the poorest of the poor being robbed by the indians in the name of investors. Those 4.5M should have need used for household investment but all goes to the hands of thieves or call them investors.

    1. It’s your choice to bet/gamble or not..only adults qualify so you choose betting your house and wife or not.
