Bulgaria has decided not to ban gambling advertising. Instead, the government wants higher gambling taxes. So basically: "Keep advertising — just pay more for it."

As Dr. Desislava Bezinska-Sheinkova puts it: it's a bit like saying "we're not taking away the cake, we're just charging extra for the bakery." Which raises an interesting question — if gambling advertising is harmful enough to deserve higher taxes, why isn't it harmful enough to deserve fewer advertisements? Apparently the message is "gamble responsibly"… as long as the tax arrives responsibly.

A campaign in New Jersey is calling for a ban on microbets — bets that last just a few seconds.

As Dr. Desislava Bezinska-Sheinkova puts it: apparently, waiting for the final score was taking too long. You can bet on the next point, the next pitch, the next serve — basically the next opportunity to lose money. It's like fast food for your impulses. Because why spend three hours making questionable decisions, when technology can help you do it every fifteen seconds?

While everyone argues whether prediction markets should be banned, Pennsylvania has another idea: "What if we just regulate them?"

As Dr. Desislava Bezinska-Sheinkova points out, the moment someone invents a new way to bet on uncertain outcomes, everyone starts arguing about vocabulary. "It's investing." "It's forecasting." "It's market participation." At this rate, "financially enhanced guessing." The funny part? Nobody disagrees about what people are doing — they disagree about what to call it. And when an entire industry argues over definitions, it's usually because the definitions matter.

So — what have we learned today?

That gambling companies suddenly become experts at spotting gambling when someone else is making the money. That if you rob the casino where you work, coming back for your next shift isn't the strongest alibi. That winning the jackpot is where the advertisements end — not necessarily where the story ends. That calling something a "social casino" doesn't magically make it less casino. And finally, that if even a drug cartel can't beat the slot machines… maybe nobody can.

"Confidence can be surprisingly deceptive. When people become convinced they'll succeed, they often stop looking for the obvious risks."

As Dr. Desislava Bezinska-Sheinkova explains: psychologists call this optimism bias — the tendency to believe we're less likely than others to experience negative outcomes.

"Our brains respond much more to experiences than to labels."

As Dr. Desislava Bezinska-Sheinkova explains: whether something is called gambling, gaming, or entertainment, the psychological processes remain remarkably similar if money, reward, and repetition are involved.

"When people believe a big win can solve an urgent problem, they often become willing to take extreme risks."

As Dr. Desislava Bezinska-Sheinkova explains: stress narrows our thinking. Instead of evaluating probabilities, we start focusing almost exclusively on the possibility of immediate relief.

A man has been arrested after allegedly robbing the sportsbook where he worked — then came back to work the very next day.

As Dr. Desislava Bezinska-Sheinkova puts it: which already feels like bringing a water pistol to the Navy. These places have cameras, security, surveillance teams, and enough footage to make Netflix ask for the rights. So congratulations — you picked the one building where somebody was definitely watching. And the getaway plan? Show up for your next shift. Honestly, if your escape plan includes clocking in, it's not an escape plan. It's overtime.

A man who won one of America's biggest Powerball jackpots later said he wished he had never won.

As Dr. Desislava Bezinska-Sheinkova puts it: it's funny how every lottery advert ends the exact second someone wins. They never release the director's cut. Because the fantasy is about winning — real life is everything that comes after. And that's the part you'll never hear while they're selling tickets.

North American lotteries have issued a warning that prediction markets might actually be gambling.

As Dr. Desislava Bezinska-Sheinkova puts it: suddenly the gambling industry has become incredibly good at recognizing gambling. When they invent a new betting product, it's "innovation." When someone else does it, it's "a serious threat to society." It's like watching Coca-Cola accuse Pepsi of selling sugary drinks. Nobody suddenly discovered a public health crisis — they discovered competition.
