Is sports betting a effective way to involved people in sports? Or it is just part of the many ways on how people will eventually be falling into gambling?

We as sports fans, maybe we all started as a kid, maybe dream of playing in big league in soccer. However, not everyone can be in sports so the next big thing is become a fan of it and follow it will all our hearts in emotions.

However, do you agree that it can also lead to gambling problems later on in life as we're going to bet on the sports that we follow. Like small bets in the beginning and then later on we become so addicted to it?

Not always, everyone has their own background how he entered gambling and entered the world of soccer betting, some of them are slot queens and are very bored with that then switch to soccer, it can happen, but the most of all who bet on the ball are those who follow the development of soccer, that's for sure, it's easy for them to enter gambling because they already know how the league arena and the teams that play so they can decide to bet on the team they believe can get victory.

Talking about addiction, it can happen to anyone without having experience playing football or whatever, addiction occurs because of the gambling process.

Sports betting has increasingly been gaining relevance and popularity as a result of the passion people have for sports. I see nothing wrong when sports enthusiasts decide to make some money from sports by analysing the games. The major problem starts when these sports enthusiasts shift their focus from just passion to profits chasing.

It is not just about sports betting, anyone who is greedy, lacks focus and highly undisciplined can be addicted to gambling. As much as sports enthusiasts want to make money from sports, there should be a balance between their passion and their quest to make money from it because that is the only way they can escape the trap of falling into an addiction.

I don't think so, because at first glance I don't think sports betting has anything to do with involving people in sports. This is no different from what is written in the second paragraph, that I started playing sports when I was a child and became a fan. I'm not alone, many of my friends are too. My friends at this age don't bet even though they are well-known as sports players and actively watch sports.

It cannot be said that everyone will like sports, but there are many who did not like sports in the beginning but later became attracted to betting and started liking sports betting. Although no betting site directly attracts any person to gambling, those who enjoy sports very quickly become interested in sports and everything depends on this interest, I do not think that sports betting or any gambling platform has any direct effect on this issue.

I'm not saying it doesn't happen because it has happened before, and I've also found people who were initially not interested in sports becoming interested because of betting. The question that needs to be answered is whether sports betting is an effective measure for such cases, which is why I say no.

The people currently involved in active gambling each have their own reasons for being there, including those mentioned in my previous post, to the point where they spend excessive amounts of time gambling without considering how much money they are spending.

The main purpose of gambling is entertainment, and if it serves its purpose that's enough. You shouldn't necessarily become gladiator after watching the film of the same name.

What does “entertainment” really mean to you, losing money?

No, losing money hardly can be called “entertainment”. But losing an insignificant amount while enjoying the game and also having that hope to win big time in you, that's what I call “entertainment” .

Because when we say entertainment, it usually means something we pay for to enjoy, like watching a movie or going to a concert. So in that sense, it’s an expense.

Exactly! I pay for my slot session same as I would pay for going to a movie theatre, $10-$12.  Only I enjoy playing slots more than watching most films.
