It gives a good insight into the gambler mentality running rampant.
But there are posts today saying that people who buy boxes (not breaks) are gamblers, too. Besides, breaking (while more wide spread now) has been around since at least the late-80s. No one said anything about gambling at that time, and it’s still legal for people under 18… so legally is not gambling.
