The Public Opinion Towards Gambling Over The Years

Gambling no matter where you are from, what country you are from there are Casinos and Internet Gambling everywhere. Some places are more tolerant than others for example, it is considered illegal to Gamble in New York State yet there are a few casinos in the Upper part of the state and since it is so close to New Jersey, they just go on over to Atlantic City. More lawmakers are opposed to gambling than the public is although it depends on whom you ask. There are a lot of public opinions out there that state that there is nothing wrong with gambling and it is up to each person on whether or not they want to spend their own money. Someone who gambles is in it alone they are not using taxpayers money or using state funds to fund their hobby so most people don't care.

Then you have those people who believe that gambling is a sin and it should be outlawed and that is just from a moral standpoint. They believe that the root of all evil is money and gambling is the root of that problem. The truth is that gambling does bring in a lot of revenue for the city and state where the casinos are located just look at Las Vegas and Nevada. Millions of people flock there every month and that is not to see a Celine Dion show. People plan vacation around gambling.

What people who believe gambling is bad do not understand is that it is freedom to do what we want as individuals and if someone choose to spend all of their money on gambling and not on food then that is their choice. It should be considered a problem when kids are involved, when a parent choose to gamble rather than work or they spend their paychecks looking to win big and they lose it all and the kids have to do without say food or clothes then that is where it become a moral shame, it isn't illegal but there should be some legal repercussions when parents gamble with the lives of their kids.

If everyone was a smart gambler and was able to walk away with some sort of winnings then it would really be a wonderful thing. If gamblers would just take the time to read and understand how games like Pai Gow and Keno are played then may have a better chance, if they knew when to hold em and know when to walk away they would do much better. A rule of gambling should be, never gamble with what you cannot afford to lose.

If you plan on going to a casino and you have saved up only $ 300 then only take that money with you. Keep the credit cards at home and play with that $ 300, if you spend all of your money on gambling and you have $ 20 left it is better to walk away with a $ 20 then with nothing at all.
