folks can have a choice not to gamble but they can't really have a choice not to be taxed.

But I seem to see ever growing lines on our SG pools stores, and the average gambler seems to be getting poorer, and betting ever bigger stakes.

Cheers,

in the past, u see lines of 10m long.

today, u see lines of 20m long, of which half of the people in the line are FTs.

so theorectically speaking, still the same amount of queueing singaporeans.

Interestingly enough more are turning to gambling in the hope of striking it rich due to the rising cost of living.

Win big and you never need to work for a living again. Win small at least feel lucky. Extra income not easy to come by unless you want to do part time sales. Highly recommended if you very free in the office
