Do you all think they should make gambling legal or not. Getting money or something material value on an event with an uncertain outcome with the primary intent of winning additional money and/or material goods.Especially online.Some type of gambling games are more addictive than others.Critics of gambling claim it leads to increased political corruption,compulsive gambling,and higher crime rate.Problem gambling includes all gambling behavior patterns that compromise, disrupt or damage personal, family or vocational pursuits.A need to bet more money more frequently, restlessness or irritability when attempting to stop, "chasing" losses, and loss of control manifested by continuation of the gambling behavior in spite of mounting, serious, negative consequences.Using gambling to escape personal problems.Taking money allotted for other things to fund one's gambling.Stealing money to fund one's gambling.Gambling to "get even" with the house during a losing streak.Gambling to regain losses either from gambling, bad investments.Or even to impress someone.To use gambling as a means to earn a living. Professional gamblers literally gamble for a living.Well, what these gamblers do is they cut the gambling part out of the games they play as much as possible. Games of skill which bring positive results.Commercial casinos provide thousands of jobs. You want to have a good time; you have money; you spend it in a way that you enjoy. This is by far the most common reason for non-problem gamblers to gamble.To make a spectator event more enjoyable.Many people find that watching sports, political elections, awards nights and other events is more fun when gambling is involved. There are lots of reasons and our government and the people like they say have to think of and choose there choice.Thats just some, this tells you i am also thinking about this gambling although i cannot vote.Like Mr. Christie said its the peoples choice so think about it first then choose because at the end of the day you could say well you felt more comfortably with that choice.I am involved with politics.
