This last topic for this week 148, is a topic that is very educating, especially for those who see gambling as a way to quick success . Gambling 馃幇 has been in existence for many decades now and has destroyed the lives of many, because even before the name betting came to be, gambling has been going on for years in the western world 馃實 where many people who are involved in gambling bet with even their cars 馃殫 and houses 馃彙 and has experienced ruins.
I have heard many years ago while growing up of how many people who gambled and lost ends up committing suicide . These then were the days when gambling was at its peak overseas. Some involved in football馃張betting, others ends up in big Casino 馃幇 houses on card games. This is a very big and serious issue because at this point, gambling should even be banned in countries or have those who open them as businesses be penalized.
And as the years went by, betting became saturated all over the world, mostly with the younger generation through matches and some other local betting which has continued to ruin lives because many believes that as long as you keep playing, you can be lucky to win one day. This I see as greed and a way to quick money making without working hard.
I don鈥檛 think 馃挱 any one in their right mind would have wanted gambling 馃幇 known more as betting to be so recognized, but it is and has become more everywhere now because the government are involved in some betting houses. How bad this is? The worst to this process is that it appears that many who are already involved and hooked in betting are addicted to it and has no way out even when they don鈥檛 have the next square meal 馃, they prefer to use their last money 馃挵 to bet hoping for a turn around. And the betting houses being so cruel that I feel they manipulate every result, reaping off many.
I see every act of man as choice which is why I see those who are perishing in betting as the choice of lifestyle they have chosen for themselves, but if betting is made illegal, many will be forced to stop. They are not forced to do this activity, but a self willing act as far as they are in the range of adulthood. And I can say that many who have seen others made so much money 馃挵 from betting don鈥檛 want to give up. They believe it could be their turn next, but its a tricky game of lifestyle. If gambling known more now as betting is made illegal, everyone involved will be forced to stop knowing that any one involved will face the law and be penalized.
I can tell you many lives has been destroyed through this game of betting. I know a man whose life was turned up side down because he refused to listen to his wife. His business was gradually closed as he was so addicted to betting. And so many others especially the youths who are using betting as a livelihood. This system is greed where the youths don鈥檛 want to work hard again but want easy money 馃挵. I sincerely believe that if every country should make betting illegal, it will especially make the youth have more focus on how to live and earn genuinely.
