Linking to gambling sites with Pagerank would still hurt my blog pagerank?

Hi fellow warriors,
I have a blog which is general blog and I'm selling blog posts on it, I've been wondering whether linking to gambling sites with high pagerank, let say Pr2-4 would hurt my blog's page rank?

I know it is advised by most that webmasters should avoid adult/gambling sites of any kinds, but as long as google trust their sites, i think it should be no problem, shouldn't it?

Any idea on this? Any suggestions would be highly appreciated!! Thanks you all in advance

Cheers,
Distantship

I think you could probably get away with it on a VERY limited basis. The problem is generally that some of these gambling sites have such a difficult time getting good links that they often get caught breaking the TOS, and google spanks them. And if you are linking to a lot of sites that are not trusted, it could hurt you.
