It is only right to have a counter weight article on why people should not gamble as there is already a lot of articles especially from online gambling houses trying to persuade a lot of people to gamble or at least like they say try out and see how you like it.
The society we live in has quickly accepted gambling as part of activities we call pastimes or recreational like going fishing, going on a boat ride, playing cricket and traveling to the country side but many will agree with me that some of this activities involve a certain degree of risk like when going fishing one should wear life jacket and when playing cricket there are a number of protective clothing that one should wear in order to play with less risk of getting hurt. Just like all this pastimes have a risk so does gambling and unlike all the other pastimes they do not have a safety net that one can fall back on.
People should not gamble when under the age permitted by law to start gambling because they are not yet equipped with the maturity it takes for one to be able to gamble responsibly. When gambling starts to affect your life at all levels especially at home and at work it is definitely time to stop as these usually leads to many problems like failing to pay the bills and not going to work. For someone who is recovering from a gambling or addiction of some sort it is wise to stay away as you might easily revert back to your old habits. Gambling is not allowed in various places and it is best for some one to avoid gambling if there are rules of that sort as breaking them might lead to for example at school getting expelled. Some people always try to repay a gambling debt through gambling that is a definite no as one carries the risk of ending up with an even bigger risk than before.
To all the young people out there it is not advisable to start gambling all in the name of trying to impress your friends or peers as you might awaken a sleeping monster that you, yourself where not aware it was there inside you. If under the influence of alcohol one should not gamble as the person s judgment is affected by the drugs he has consumed. Finally if someone in your family has had a gambling problem it is best to keep away
