For gambling industry, I don’t know about which stocks to recommend, but, as long as we’re talking about the legal ones, gambling companies will have a perfectly good future. The desire of people to gamble is very high, including in stocks. Day trading comes very close to gambling. People like to gamble. If there’s a football game, especially if it’s boring, you’ll enjoy it more if you bet a few bucks. The human propensity to gamble is huge.

对于博彩行业，我没有什么推荐的股票，但是如果单指那些合法的博彩公司的话，我觉得它们还是有很好的发展前景的。人们想去赌博的渴望很高，包括股票这个领域。日内交易跟赌博很相似。人们喜欢赌博，如果现在有一场球赛，尤其是那种很无聊的球赛，你要是投了一点赌注肯定会看得更尽兴。人们倾向赌博的心是很强的。

When it was only legal in Nevada, you had to travel or break laws to gamble, but now states are legalizing it. The easier it is, the more people who will gamble.

以前只有内华达州赌博合法，所以人们要违法去到很远的地方赌博，但是现在政府已经把赌博合法化了。赌博越容易，人们就越愿意去赌。

People will always want to gamble. I’m not a prude about it, but to quite an extent, gambling is a tax on ignorance. You just put it in and guys like me don’t pay the taxes – it relieves taxes on those who don’t gamble. I find it socially revolting when a government preys on its citizens rather than serving them.

人们总是愿意去赌博的。我不是说赌博不好，但是赌博从很大程度上来说就是对无知之人征收税务的一种行为。你把赌博的盒子放在那儿，很多像我一样的人不会去“交税”——对于不赌博的人来说这减轻了税务。我觉得政府让公民牺牲在赌博上，而不是去为公民服务这个行为让人反感。
