Gambling is an addiction which has destroyed many lives in the past and will keep on destroying if you don’t control your addiction. But it does not mean you playing few hours of online poker over the weekday or weekend. I enjoy playing online poker sometimes as I receive rakeback deals from my subscripted magazines to play on absolute poker but that doesn’t mean I am addicted. Addiction happens through drugs, drinks and also gambling.

Gambling basically means you bet and you hope you win but it is very dangerous. Gambling everyday without having a control over yourself to stop is an addiction. They will no will power to stop gambling. Many sportsmen have lots a lot of money through gambling in the past. At from one point of having millions of pounds they have gone to having none, that is how bad gambling is. It must have been a terrible situation for their family.

There are different types of gambling you never want to associate with such as fixing and betting. Playing poker is ok. Millions of people play poker either on the Internet or with their family as a fun activity. It is not gambling. While playing poker online you meet lots of people from different cultures which improves your cultural awareness. And another advantage is that it sharpens your mind because you have to be focused at all times and read the game.

People who have been addicted to gambling in the past have lost a lot of money through it. Some have actually lost their family to be honest so this can be a very dangerous addiction. I know people who have gone mentally disturb and few years ago they were leading a happy life with their family.

So it’s good for fun activities but avoid getting addicted to it.
