By my understanding gambling is fun and a source of entertainment, but there are other negativities attached to gambling,which are, financial issues among the families of a gambler an addiction towards gambling.
No matter the fun and the entertainment gambling bring to the society, for me the negative impact of gambling in the society is more than the positive impact it brings to the society.
Ways to mitigate the spread of gambling in the society:
*Managing your time - preventing problem gambling, is to manage your time very well and enjoy sport without gambling by taking a break. According to Canadian lower risk gambling guidelines recommendation, reduce your gambling to know more than four days a month can significantly reduce your risk.
*Managing your finance - preventing problem gambling is to manage your finance effectively and safeguarde it. Order procedures to manage your money: set limit, keep record, don't borrowing, and stay as planned. That's my opinion.
