There is no benefit to having the betting industry
I'll play devil's advocate and say while gambling as a whole offers no tangible benefits to society, the benefit of having a betting industry is to keep the money out of organized crime.
People are going to be either way and it's safer for it to be regulated than unregulated. I'd rather someone bet through Bet365 than an underground bookie.
