So each Person is different. I’ve lost a ton of $ when I was younger at this sport but you learn to keep it where u can afford it. I have no problem when I see kids at the track with their parents or family. I don’t think anything is wrong with it. To each his own. This is an interesting topic.

I agree with your perspective.
Hope my post did not sound judgmental as it was not meant to be.
I recall when my daughter, then age 19, announced that she was joining the family business (horse racing).
I asked, "What will you do?"
She said, "I'll bet on the races."
I said, "We've already got somebody to do that. Why don't you become a lawyer? We could use one of those."
