    Great idea, we’ll get a new mafia that runs illegal gambling from street to championship level.

    You either have an illegal but very popular activity run by “the black market”, or a legal but very popular activity run by the government and capitalists. The market doesn’t go away

    Either way, with a market this massive, the profits are insane. This would be much bigger than the drug trade, gambling is the very easiest and most popular of such “sinful” activities.
