Accordingly to this article, athletes are more prone to developing gambling addiction than another individuals: Athletes and problem gambling: what do you need to know?They present the following reasons to justify potential levels of addiction among players and athletes: Players and athletes are technically more prone to gambling addiction due to the signs of compulsive gambling like winning expectations, energy levels, competitive spirit, and high IQ levels. Athletes have higher tendencies of gambling because of their skill set. These people start gambling for the challenges and competitors attached to it but it adds to the risk of getting addicted over time. The competitive spirit and potential have led the athletes to gamble in multiple forms. Along with these comes an additional addiction to alcohol and drugs. Gambling helps them financially and is highly lucrative. The cycle of addiction begins with wanting to get back what is lost which leads to more losses or wins and so on. In the case of a normal person, after losing money in gambling, he might want to move to safer ways that would eventually help to recover his losses. Whereas, among athletes, it is a sense of superiority and power, and thus winning is the only option for them as they do not like defeat. More money is invested into gambling, and it goes on. This is where their addiction begins.
It's not a secret many popular athletes had or still have issues with gambling addiction during their lifetime, which prejudiced their personal lives and careers. Is the mentioned competitive spirit a double edge sword, which helps the athlete to improve his performance, but at same time lead him to an insatiable desire for winnings that may end in a frustrated attempt of beating the casinos? Or is it just bullshit and another attempt of distancing gambling sponsors from sports' industry? What do you think? Share your opinion, please.

We both know that everyone has the potential to become addicted to gambling even if it's just for fun at first. The financial strength of sports athletes allows them to gamble uncontrollably in a single session so their frustration will arise when they desperately want to recover from losses. We already know a lot about famous sports athletes who are addicted to gambling, addicted to alcohol to the point of ruining their reputations and careers. This is actually not nonsense because gambling addiction can strike anyone when they have made gambling more than just entertainment.

athletes who are involved in gambling are tantamount to tarnishing their own good name, from the reasons you mention it makes sense for an athlete to be involved in gambling.
This news reminds me that a badminton player from Malaysia has forced the Badminton World Federation (BWF) to be involved in this case, because he was caught in an online gambling case, BAM has explained that there is no gambling in any form, it seems that the badminton athlete has a personal debt of $120,000.
I think athletes who are involved in the world of gambling are a factor of habit and a factor of debt.

I do not think so because that will depend on each athlete because they need to manage their lifestyle and not using their money for something that is not useful for them. But we can not force them to avoid something that looks not useful because when they have money, they can do anything they want and even play gambling. Everything that we do will be like cause and effect so we need to realize by ourselves and think about what we should do. Every people can play gambling but the difference is how we should treat gambling.

I've heard of those athletes that have serious gambling addiction but they're also like the usual gambler that's having their addiction. I don't think that we have to distinguish them differently just because they're an athlete.
They're also human being that can't resist gambling. So with whatever wealth they have accumulated with their athletic career, they can spend it anywhere they want including gambling.

I think there have been many cases of athletes involved in gambling like in the country where I live because it is only famous in my country so only in my country who knows the news, and various reasons that make them involved in gambling and it is very tarnish the good name of coaches and the field of sports. and it all starts just for their fun and boredom when there is no tournament or match, and starts just trial and error which eventually continues which makes them addicted, actually what they go through is the same as most people experience and it makes a difference because they are athletes who achievement in the region or country.

Well, if they have the connections, they would surely get hooked into gambling. While not all athletes are earning a handsome amount from what they do, a lot of them are still tempted to make a fortune off of gambling because they think they know it so well. Though one thing's for sure, these athletes are not much different from normal folks getting addicted to gambling. It all started as a form of entertainment to us, until such time that they become addicted to it and kept on chasing their losses and bam, the next thing they know is that they are already heavily in debt.

actually if you look at the article you linked in your thread, it's actually just an outline and not only athletes can do this but everyone can do the same thing. but because here what is underlined is the athlete then this is like tarnishing the norms and the name of the athlete himself who is gambling. An example that is currently circulating hotly is badminton athletes who are caught gambling online in a country that tarnishes both the name of the athlete and the country they live in. but on the other hand they (athletes) are also ordinary people who can't stand the temptation of greed, but the problem is that they are public figures who are seen by many people and consciously or not they have to really keep them clean and not get involved in any scandal because if a case like this is exposed, it will certainly cause a polemic and become a hot conversation that leads to the tarnishing of the good name of the athlete, the type of sport he participates in and even the country they live in.

Why would be thinking that they cant really make out some bets? Those are just ordinary folks which does have similar interest or perception towards things and we know that neither they do get involved with betting or not would really be always a person choice. Its true that some of them arent really that earning decent but only a few for sure and make considerations on making out some bet to make more? This is really a bad decision unless if you do make out bets for the sake of entertainment then that wouldnt really be that an issue. Addiction doesnt choose up on who would be the one to have but it would really be for everybody to those who had excessively engaging through this thing.

Gambling addiction can be attributed to anyone whether you're ordinary player or athletes. Athletes has higher tendencies to gamble more than normal gamblers which is very obvious. Gambling is a game of luck that also need good knowledge in sports or the kind of bets one is gambling about. Athletes has more opportunities to make more gamble than an ordinary gamblers because of the vast knowledge in sport.

Been an athlete doesn't make one different from every other person in terms of social and economic and sports fantasies. Any one can get addicted it's a matter of how you react to losses during gambling and how you react to your urge to get back what you lost that grows into been an addiction the fact remains anyone can get addicted

And since they are already engaged in gambling in real life, they are somewhat prone to this. They might be in addiction but their level is was not so high compared to others. I mean, they don't gamble every day that's what I thought but they can possibly bet a huge amount when they are gambling. But I think they know how to control themselves doing this and they don't just let their life ruined. As they are in training, they somewhat forget about it, unlike those people who make gambling their living.

You are definitely right on this one on which people arent really different because even he's engage into the the sports itself we do still have some interest on betting into another which we know that we do have money then we can bet out as much we we want and like.Therefore, they could really be also gambling addicts just like everyone else because addiction is something that cant really be avoided if you arent aware on your actions about dealing with gambling then you would really be having some addiction problems later on this is why awareness is just common on each person.

It's not a secret many popular athletes had or still have issues with gambling addiction during their lifetime, which prejudiced their personal lives and careers. Is the mentioned competitive spirit a double edge sword, which helps the athlete to improve his performance, but at same time lead him to an insatiable desire for winnings that may end in a frustrated attempt of beating the casinos? From what i understand gambling for a match you are involved is not allowed as you will be able to manipulate the game and if you are caught in some sports there is a possibility that they will be getting a lifetime ban. We have seen many revelations about NBA players having addicted to gambling during their playing days but now a days it is easy to track a player with addiction than it was before.

They have the money, they are prone to this one and we all know that some of the athletes are also endorsing gambling casinos so there’s a high possibility that they are into gambling as well. Addiction is too bad for them, it can affect their whole life and might lose focus on being athletes. They should have know how to control their money which I’m sure someone is managing it for them, just be more cautious on their gambling activities to protect their own reputation.

This has been an issue for a long time now.
Athletes without the right financial education or support network will generally struggle to manage their finances.
Charles Barkley and Michael Jordan are prime examples that come to mind. If you were a millionaire overnight, you probably don't know what to do with yourself.

It could be true though, Michael Jordan during the height of his career are gambling and his father's death could be related to gambling as well. Even when they are playing golf with co-players and other wealthy individuals, they put bet on the line, just for the sake of "playing" aka "gambling". And of course, athletes have money to burn, so one way is going out with their friends and families on trip to the Strip and gamble.

Accordingly to this article, athletes are more prone to developing gambling addiction than another individuals: Athletes and problem gambling: what do you need to know?They present the following reasons to justify potential levels of addiction among players and athletes: Players and athletes are technically more prone to gambling addiction due to the signs of compulsive gambling like winning expectations, energy levels, competitive spirit, and high IQ levels. Athletes have higher tendencies of gambling because of their skill set. These people start gambling for the challenges and competitors attached to it but it adds to the risk of getting addicted over time. The competitive spirit and potential have led the athletes to gamble in multiple forms. Along with these comes an additional addiction to alcohol and drugs. Gambling helps them financially and is highly lucrative. The cycle of addiction begins with wanting to get back what is lost which leads to more losses or wins and so on. In the case of a normal person, after losing money in gambling, he might want to move to safer ways that would eventually help to recover his losses. Whereas, among athletes, it is a sense of superiority and power, and thus winning is the only option for them as they do not like defeat. More money is invested into gambling, and it goes on. This is where their addiction begins.
It's not a secret many popular athletes had or still have issues with gambling addiction during their lifetime, which prejudiced their personal lives and careers. Is the mentioned competitive spirit a double edge sword, which helps the athlete to improve his performance, but at same time lead him to an insatiable desire for winnings that may end in a frustrated attempt of beating the casinos? Or is it just bullshit and another attempt of distancing gambling sponsors from sports' industry? What do you think? Share your opinion, please. From what I've seen there is a bit of substance to this claim. Athletes generally aren't the most financially savvy, nor are they the most emotionally stable. Plenty of stories of NFL/NBA/MLB players who have gotten bankrupt immediately after retirement because of the stream of money that has stopped flowing in, as well as their compulsive gambling addictions. They're a high risk group for sure.

When you do have money then you can really think off things just similar into those people who are earning average and since you know that you have tons then betting on something like your hobby against other people would really be simply called gambling.Im much aware about MJ activity or involvement about gambling which did really make significant impact on his life.
