GAMBLING AND SPORTS BETTING

LESSON #27

GAMBLING AND SPORTS BETTING

Gambling is a bad disease to poverty. It leads to obsession and addiction. Gambling is a GAME of odds, not an INVESTMENT (maybe for those who own casinos’ and sports betting joints), but as a player this is not the best way to make money. You can never live your life on “luck”, because luck is an illusion that is why most gambling addicts if not all end up being poor and in huge debts.

If gambling is done as a hobby or played at leisure time as a game once in a long time, it’s harmless but once someone uses it as a means of income and it becomes an addiction then it becomes dangerous. Living your life around gambling is like trying to clutch a straw while drowning. Lighting never strikes twice, yes you might win some games, but that doesn’t guarantee that you will win for the rest of your life.

Sports’ betting has become the IT thing for the youth, this is degrading the future of this country. If 60% of the youth are now depending on gambling how will this country be in the next 20 years?

WHAT GAMBLING IS NOT

1.     Gambling is not an investment venture it is a rich mans’ GAME. You have to be having a lot of money to keep up with the game.

2.     Gambling is not a job, so do not make it full time job.

3.     Gambling doesn’t make you rich forever (unless you invest the money in a useful venture or unless you’re the owner of the sports betting business or casino), it leads you to debts and poverty.

4.     Gambling will not make you wealthy but obsessed till you have nothing left.

To all gambling addicts and gambling new be’s. Do not waste your time in illusions your smart enough to start something new and profitable, gambling is for losers unless your one of the losers.

·         Curb your worldly desires and you will strengthen your will. He who is deeply bound to material things runs into difficulty and unhappiness when they are taken away. Happy people enjoy worldly objects but do not become bound or wedded to them. Live a simple, uncluttered and productive existence. By Robin S. Sharma.
