Gambling

"In gambling, the many must lose in order that the few may win" George Benard Shaw.
Gambling is the wagering of money. There are many different types of gambling: Casino games, Table games, slot machine and Bingo. There are other forms of gambling: Betting on horse, greyhounds and even betting on sport. I can see why people get a gambling problem. When looking on the internet, there are a lot of gambling websites. Also on televisions, there are many adverts, telling people offers i.e pay £10 and get £10 free play. There are even gambling tips on the internet. This is wrong as it is telling people that it is fine to keep gambling and spending money on these games. When someone gets a gambling problem, it is always their fault but why is not companies not taking some of the blame? I think companies should take some responsible on the way that they advert the offers. I can see why people who get attrated to gambling, the buzz of winning and making more money. I think if someone was going to get a gambling problem it would ruin a family and make them have no money. Some people can be declared bankruptcy Here is a website that helps people stop gambling:
