Pros and Cons of Gambling

by Jerry "Jet" Whittaker
April 3, 2006


The act of winning huge amount of money by keeping some on stake is called gambling. Playing in casinos, betting, roulette, blackjack and stock are some forms of gambling.

Despite the fact that gambling has been practiced since a long time, it is still till date a very controversial issue.


Pros of gambling:


Gambling can be made legal by some states and countries. This would intern help them gain more revenue from entertainment tax and tourists.  Las Vegas is an example for this. It is earning huge amount of money through casinos and other gambling acts. This money thus earned by the state can be used for developing infra-structure of that state. Sport gambling in the form of betting creates interest in the involvement of sport. Since is is non-profitable it is healthy to take risk in such activities. Online gambling is preferable because you don’t have to travel long distances for playing the gambling games. Moreover you do not have to feel obligated to pay tips as you would in actual casinos and you will not have to stand the annoyances such as smokers. In casino gambling you can get encashed immediately after win. Also you get to see a new place and meet new people.


Cons of gambling:


Many religions state that gambling is a bad act of entertainment   because it damages the lives of many people and the society as a whole. If a gambling addict is under constant debts his family and social life is disturbed. This could also lead to nervous breakdown and the person may feel the need of psychological counseling. Gambling also increases the crime rate in a particular state or country. Betting in sports results in some illegal activities like fixes, intentional injury etc. it results in addiction and false hopes. One of the problems in online gambling is that you have to wait for a long time for your cash to be transferred to your account. Moreover you have to disclose your identity, your phone number, address, credit card number etc. In online gambling. This could be sometimes misused. Also due to inline gambling your computer may catch some virus which may result in a computer ‘crash’ . in casino gambling you have to abide by certain rule and regulations, violation of which could lead to a fine. Also you are obliged to pay a tip in a casino and you have to tolerate the smokers or the drunkards present around you.

But as the saying goes ‘ every coin has two sides’, one decide if gambling is god or bed only after experiencing it once.
