Gambling can be seen as bad behaviour. We all like a flutter tho right? I know I do, I take a gamble on the lottery when the prize money is really high. I feel you have to never say never( okay well ain't gonna happen but there is no hope in not trying is there?). I also buy the odd scratch card, I must admit I do get a bit nervous and egar to find out if you have won or not. I think that gambling like this, in moderation, is fine, its when people become addictive its where someone needs to step in and say enough is enough.
Lives are ruined by excessive gambling, families destroyed. A man is suing a bookies because he lost 2 million pound after he told a William Hill not to let him gamble or accept bets off him anymore.http://http//news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7243656.stm. Personally I do feel sorry for him, but I also feel it is his own fault. He should have more control of himself .He gambled it away .I mean a bookies have to make money to keep open, there not going to turn away money from him are they! Gambling in my opinion is a dangerous game, you have to be careful not to fall into the trap it can lead to!.
People who are addicted to gambling should receive treatment for this. Many websites, includinghttp://http//www.gamblersanonymous.org.uk/ andhttp://http//www.national-lottery.co.uk/player/p/help/responsibleplay/playingresponsibly.ftl offer support for people affect and also if you have noticed on the back of scratch cards and lottery tickets, its says if anyone is affected by gambling or think they are addicted call for support. I feel this is an excellent idea as it offers support and guidance.
Finally, I feel gambling can be both good and bad, I'm sure there is more worse things you can waste your money on, but I can see how people can easily become addicted to it. I think that because you get a buzz and adrenaline starts to flow people get addicted to experiencing this feeling. I feel the odd flutter will not cause no harm, its when its gets out of control and person needs help. What do you think?. Gambling is a difficult topic to discuss as there are many opinions towards it, some accept it, some do not. Certain religions such as Christianity forbid this! Which I think might probably drive a person to gamble. Its rebellion isn't it.I just hope I do not fall into the cycle of gambling constantly, as to loose your livelihood scares me too much!!
