Generally, I do not have a problem with gambling, although it is not something I do myself. I don't gamble because I would rather save my money than risk losing it and possibly ending up with less than I started with.
I think that gambling is down to personal choice, which is fine if the gambler can afford to do it. The problems arise when gambling becomes addictive to someone who hasn't got enough money. When this happens, an immense amount of stress can be caused, not only to the gambler but also to their family and friends. Lots of people can suffer.
I am not in favour of the super casino that is to be opened in Britain. The gambling industry already behaves irresponsibly all in the interest of making money for themselves. This is wrong and is a case of money-obsessed businessmen preying on the weaknesses of naive people.
My advice to people who are tempted to gamble - don't, if you don't gamble, you can't lose. If members of my family had saved all of the money they had wasted on playing the national lottery, we would be a lot richer than we are now. Gambling is not worth the risk, there is usually far more chance that you will lose than win and the people who take your money as bets know this, they probably don't gamble themselves.
