U can't even pull into the corner store cause there just sitting there scratching their tickets losing and walking back in. Bookmakers are the least of societies problems. When's the last time you read someone getting killed or beaten real bad over a mob related gambling debt or a gambling debt in general? If people don't pay they egg cut off and word gets around faster than you can come up with a stupid joke, moe.
Do some of the mob guys bilk hard earned people out of money? Yes. But there's just some bookmakers on there scraping by with their assets froze without being guilty as of yet? Is that fair?
