If I’m doing something morally gray that involves money for bricks, it’s be $100 to get that amount off of aliexpress

Amazing to me that more people don't see the risks of having gambling be so accessible. I think gambling should be legal but it shouldn't be super easy to do. Like, you can only place bets from a sanctioned establishment. Not just reach into your pocket and bet on a whim.
