The thing is, booze and cigs are out and it's likely gambling is next. But the question is what insidious industry or product is going to fill the void. The gambling industry is willing to put in the big bucks but who will be there to cover those losses when inevitably it is banned?

No extra points for Saudi or Middle Eastern oil jokes. They're not slick.

Not joking, but oil companies/big polluters would probably be the next in line. Although I don't really think it's necessarily going to be as bad a company as betting sponsors, maybe like banks or car companies which aren't as bad.
