I don't think we have always thought of gambling in general as scummy. Although maybe. I don't know. But inherently I think it is, because it exploits something we all share as humans โ€” hope, without an innate understanding of probability and statistics. And I don't think the early gambling profiteers understood how much they were actually exploiting people. But I don't know much history there, so maybe they were. If so, more to my point of scumminess. ๐Ÿ˜
