The Conditions

Most of us think that gambling is an addicting game. But gamblers see it in different ways. If others think that it only give you stress and a lot of debts, for them its opposite. For me, they can say that its opposite because they love what they're doing and no one can stop them. It feels like they are so in love in a person, and they cannot see the negative side of it.

While I was surfing the net I came across an article that talks about the rewards of gambling, entitled The Effects of Gambling. The author says I gamble because:

• I love the thrill of playing.
• I know a big payout could solve all my problems.
• Gambling is my only shot at becoming a millionaire.
• I feel important when I win. I love being able to treat my family and friends.
• I have a sure system. It's just a matter of time before I win again.
• When I am on, I can make money fast and easily.
• Gambling lets me forget my problems and pain for a while.
• Gambling is the one thing in my life that is just for me. When I gamble, I'm in control.
• Gambling gets me out of the house. I feel safe and welcome.
• All my friends gamble.  

Those following reasons are exactly the answer for why do people gamble. For others who do not gamble they would probably think that those reasons are for kids who wants, to always get what they want. But as a gambler that's what they only want to have more money, to give the needs of their loved ones or treat their loved ones.

Also gambling has a lot of negative issues, and because of that some of the family members of a gambler or loved ones make it a point that they wanted their loved ones to stop gambling. And it becomes the problem that gambling give to a family. In the article I've read the author also gives some negative effects of gambling. and these are the following:

• My partner is threatening to leave me if I don't stop.
• We fight all the time about my gambling.
• I'm tired of sneaking around, lying and hiding my losses.
• My reputation has been hurt.
• Creditors are hassling me. I'm looking at bankruptcy.
• Gambling is all I ever think about. It has taken over my life.
• I've stopped caring about things that should be important to me.
• I've borrowed money from so many people. I feel ashamed to face them.
• I'm afraid I'll lose my job because I'm always so distracted.
• My health is suffering.
• I don't even enjoy gambling most of the time.
• I feel like such a loser. Sometimes I hate myself so much I want to end it all.

  In life there's always a positive and negative side but don't be fooled by that happiness. Because "lahat ng sobra ay masama"
