Poor investment given the returns are a form of gambling and very unlikely to turn up anything.

Yes you get your stake back but inflation will have reaped it's toil over the years.

Like Bookmakers shops, fruit machines, lottery sales, pawnshops, cash (crack) converter type places and pay day loans. These are all undertakings which play (and profit) on the stupidity of the poor.
