The End of the World as We Know It?

Legalized sport gambling accessible from the convenience of your bar stool just may be the end of Western civilization.  These new machines are like having the Caesar’s Palace sports book in your local bar, allowing you to bet on just about any sporting activity you can imagine as well as wagering on every ridiculous aspect of that event. Not only can you bet on Valencia CF to win but you can place a few euros on which team will have the most corner kicks, or how many yellow cards will be called.  Perhaps in Spain these machines won’t be too dangerous but if they make it to the shores of America it will only take football fans there a month or so to lose everything they have worked their lives to earn.
