Now and then which is better?

[Didia Sofunichi]

Cast your mind back to when sports betting was not as rampant as it is now. There was less addiction and people worked hard for their money. But unfortunately sports betting is now the order of the day accross the world. Teenagers who have access to the internet have turned gamblers. I personally feel that the world would have been a better place without gambling. There would have been less regrets and wailing. There  also  would have been more believe in the dignity of labour.

Unlike now where people sit at home doing nothing but believing that they can win 100m with hundred naira.

sports have always existed before as much as sports betting it just became much more apparent now because it is online and it has made it much more accessible i do not think it is gambling's fault inherently that teenagers are gaining access when the platforms have already created something strict to keep them out and they should have never wanted to gamble in the first place

seems like someone is jealous he is earning 100m by doing nothing lol

people of before also did not all work hard many of them from before stole and scammed people gambling is not the reason to blame for laziness and incompetence of people

If gambling is not to be blamed completely but do you think gambling doesn't have a hand at all?

That's part of progress and advancement of technology, but the advantage outweighs the negative impact because communication becomes instant and we have access to much information because of the web. All industries innovate and advance, and gambling is one of the industries that benefited a lot from this technology. The past is good but now its better Many benefited from this technology and this is good.

There wouldn't be anything to gamble as well if there is no sports. Should we blame sports as well?

We are still entertaining ourselves with sports and gamblers are going to be a fan still. It's hard to educate people though bu the culture we have embedes gambling that's why it's regulated. There is money to be made in the industry that's why we are not stopping this.

Nothing in excess is good. In this case, I agree that the gambling addiction rate is much higher now than it was before, and we are currently seeing various negative impacts on society because of this. And also the online casinos' excessive advertising on social media has made it even more outrageous. However, we also have to keep in mind that it can only be used for entertainment purposes and should never be used as a making generating machine.

Here in my place even if internet does not exist until today people here are still getting addicted with sports betting though not through online but that actual betting since it is part of our culture to place bets on things especially in sports we even to bets with politics or anything that can be placed bets upon. The internet just make it worst since we now have online gambling.

You're right, I think the adverts for betting is intimidating and should be checked. The negative impacts can even be seen by the blind

Well this is currently where we have found ourselves today in the world as priorities and orientation of people has changed with the changing world because critically looking at before the coming of gambling to our country things where better because people where actually working hard for their daily bread rather than expecting unrealistic money from gambling which is not even sure. Personal I am of the opinion too that gambling has caused more harm our society than good because critically analyzing the effects of gambling to our environment you could tell that gambling has really made people to miss out on their priorities, vision and goals in life especially the teenagers who are not in the right mental state to know that gambling is not worth putting your hopes on but that they should work hard and earn their money

Scamming people only became easier in the advent of social media and smart phones. People worked harder then. Atleast we had great farmers and fisherman

The world was not completely better; people still had problems with addiction as a challenge. Gambling is not the cause of all the problems being faced currently by many individuals. If you have and hold that opinion towards gambling, I say it is formed from prejudice towards it.

Yeah for sure, gambling addiction is undeniably one of the biggest problems we are facing in the society today, especially amongst the youths and the unemployed, but that doesn’t really mean gambling should be condemned or something, because there are also others that are also indulging in the same gambling and yet, they’re still doing it responsibly, thus, addiction is a personal problem and a choice, and should also be tackled individually.

Addiction no doubt is a personal problem but when it becomes a symptom exhibited by majority of the people resulting from a particular activity it becomes something of concern. Are there measures that can be followed to check and curtail addition in gambling?

I get your point, but it is not the fault of the casino that most or majority of the gamblers out their have chosen to act according to the misconception they’ve gotten about gambling, and due to this high rate and chances of addiction, every casino warns or advice every gambler who uses their services to always gambler responsibly, which is enough to make any gambler think twice before taking an rational and impulsive actions when gambling. So I believe in the long run, it still solely depends on the gambler how he choose to approach gambling, whether to ignore the warnings and risks or not.
