The issue of gambling is an issue that in my opinion should be something that we should take very seriously, it is something social and a problem that crosses all classes of society but mainly middle and upper classes.
That is, when it was conceived when its formation would be something playful, a pastime, fun and we could continue the game to enumerate different adjectives when the game part was created in remote times.
Of course, there have always been games to win, but the problem is often not the game itself, it's the addiction it transmits to us.
I have a great friend of mine who once told me this: "Never forget take this (game) as a hobby."
These words are still in my memory today.
How many and how many fortunes of rich people rich in money and goods who were left with nothing because of gambling.
There are people who will pass in order to put the little money that is still left in the game and with the illusion of something that will make them recover what they invested.
Another mistake and especially in games that involve recovering the part is the player not accepting the loss, games that continue more and more money in the game quickly recover.
times in bets such as in football matches 100 euros in which a team will win and how many times that team draws or loses and the player does not assume the defeat.
Friends of mine who then bet another 100 euros to try to recover what they had lost.
If they recover, all is well, but in just a few minutes, 200 euros are lost, often the money that is needed for food for the family, and other essential goods.
A little while ago I read that there are already people in my country asking for more exclusion from the game, I have hope because it is the principle of assuming that they are addicts and lost who are and ask for help and even if they want those who ask for self exclusion, they don't come back to enter except through another scheme.
In summary the game or games can be good, fun, a playful pastime for us to interact, but at the same time it can be harmful and ruin lives and families if we don't know how to stop in time.
