Although some think that gambling is an illegal act, some take it very seriously and has made it their everyday activity which provides for them and their families with the profit which they make after gambling. "Gambling is the wagering of money or something of material value on an event with an uncertain outcome with the primary intent of winning additional money and or material goods. Gambling thus requires three elements be present: consideration, chance and prize". (Helpguide.org)
Apart from all this, gambling can become a problem in one’s life and it is very addictive. There have been scenarios of people who tended to become addicted to gambling to an extent that they lose their cars, houses, jobs, wives and children just because of being addicted to gambling, so as one can see, gambling does not only come with the benefits of prizes, there are also consequences which one needs to deal with if they decide to be a gambling addict. You may think you can’t stop but, with the right help, you can overcome a gambling problem or addiction and regain control of your life.
So do not let gambling control your life in a negative manner, if you consider it as a fun activity in your life, just maintain control over it, and don’t therefore make it a lead in your life because it may end up destroying your life and people close to your life.
