Thanks for writing this. It changed my mind about sports betting.
A tangential, very brainstormy, thought: it's really addiction that's the problem. I wonder if we could actually address this as a society more directly and make addiction illegal. Or else behaviors that encourage addiction illegal.
For example, selling a gallon of vodka to someone would be fine, but selling a gallon of vodka to someone every day who is clearly deteriorating over time shouldn't be allowed.
