GAMBLING


What does gambling mean? Well it has many different meaning to it, depending on the person and their culture.
There are different kinds of gambling for example:-
Non casino gambling games , fixed –odds gambling, Parimutuel betting, Sports betting, Arbitrage betting, Arbitrage betting.
There are all ways some form of gambling going on TV for example Big Brother, election results. Interactive prediction markets also offer trading on these outcomes, with "shares" of results trading on an open market,and on soaps like in Easterners and maybe other soaps they have are had a betting shop in which you can see the charters’ going in and betting on something.
OK I could understand when people gamble with friends (unless they go too far and start to bet for money) what I do not understand is why people gamble and know that they have lost and still on betting even if they have nothing to bet with so they land themselves in BIG trouble.

I think that it is wrong because once you start you cannot hold yourselves back and you keep on gambling and gambling until you have nothing left, however there are people who can control their self and be able to put a stop on it when they know that its going to go too far.
