Our Unspoken Confessions
WorldCup 2010 - Does it promote social ills such as gambling addiction?
Written by Shirley Kettler
The WorldCup fever has been going on for weeks now. For soccer fans, this is their time to take some time off to relax and watch their favourite games. However, for some people, it is not simply watching their favourite games. Some place bets on countries they think that would win the would cup and earn extra finance out of it.
This is definitely illegal. On top of that, these people only care about winning money and had forgotten all the basic rules. Addiction is one thing, but one trap always leads to another. Influence also comes in. One may influence the rest of their friends or relatives to bet on the game together with them and perhaps eventually everyone could split the winnings. Tempting huh? Of course, but what are the consequences?
On the negative force, social ills are created and people could go into heavy debt because of the addiction. This addiction may not only occur during world cup seasons because when one has ran out of cash to pay for their debts, they may turn to loansharks, bankloans and other solutions that may cause them to be in even HEAVIER in debt.
