The attitudes of Americans toward gambling are amazingly contradictory. You may find, for example, that horse racing is legal in your state, but that you cannot legally play
poker for money on your front porch; bookies may be prosecuted by state law, but they
are supposed to purchase a federal license nonetheless; one church condemns gambling,
while another raises money by sponsoring Bingo games. Gambling laws are inconsistent
from state to state or even from town to town and are very difficult to enforce.
a. Americans have negative attitudes toward gambling.
b. Gambling laws are difficult to enforce
C. Gambling laws are inconsistent from community to community.
d. Churches do not have uniform ideas about gambling.
