Introduction

Gambling is an age-old activities that have evolved over centuries with its forms. Many powerful families and merchant are controlling this sectors and it's annual earnings are huge which sustain them. Governments of the lands are actively involved as they provide the enabling environment and necessary conditions for conducive and regulated business and taxes and levies being collected from the sector.

A sheer lucky activities of whom the players hoped for better results and huge prices with or without financial obligations is what gambling can be referred. All players are hopeful but only few lucky ones and others failed woefully and in misery. It gives false hope of bigger gains and growth but the odds changes rapidly and failure occurs.

Reasons For Gambling

Even as indicated above, there are many reasons why gamblers play their games. Let's x-rays some of them with examples.

Entertainment And Excitement

Many players get involved for the sheer thrill and excitement that comes with it. The adrenaline rush during the activities is very high and excites many people. A friend of mine once said that without the betting of those games, to watch those football games is absolutely nonsense. This thinking means that gambling on those games is the main fun part of the games despite the possible outcome.

Many of these games are built up with wonderful features and ecosystem that thrill and excite the players. Playing on them regularly makes players addicted and their emotions being heightened for excitement.

Socialization Purposes

Casinos and other gambling centers are majorly a socialization platform as many fun lovers and wealthy people visit frequently and interact with others too. They form many clubs and organizations of which they champion their interests and desires. In those clubs, they organize tours, campaigns and seminars to promote their games and attract more people too.

Many marriage and business opportunities have been created and built up successfully on those arena as people flocked there for social functions and engagement. Also, the people are from different walks of life and professions with diverse experiences and influences that engage with others favorably for many business pursuits and interests.

Peer Pressure And Societal norms.

Gamblers are once naive that being taught mostly by their peers and being influenced strongly by them to keep getting involved. Stories of success and prosperity, even unknown can motivate many people and their friends to play more. Despite many regulations like not to be played by kids below eighteen years in my country, many kids are flocking around the centres for games and influencing their peers to do so as they said that they are trying their luck.

As Government makes huge money from the sector and enact several policies to regulate their activities, it seems acceptable and can operate freely. The society are pleased as normal behavior and look down on many people that's not gamblers. The numbers of gamblers keep increasing and new ones keep joining too. Also, it seems to be a business opportunity where many people engage to make fortune and earn money.

Finally

Gambling addiction is a serious mental illness that can be harmful. It should be approach responsibly and helps are available too. Despite the potential financial gains, one should be aware of possible risks and outcomes before engaging with them.
