Poker Slums

Gambling and online poker has been seen as such a bad thing to do for many years now. It is not allowed in so many countries around the world but what is the real reason? What is so bad about the game and why are people so against it, let's take a quick look.

Personally I do not really gamble myself in any form whatsoever as I believe I worked much to hard for my money to risk throwing it away, but there are a lot of people that do gamble and I do not think that making the game illegal is something that should happen. There are so many positives that can come out of gambling.

Firstly and the most crucial aspect is actually is gambling is another sector, people rely on this sector to pay their wages and if it went hundreds of people would become unemployed and homeless. Just take a look at what happened in Russia recently for instance, The government has ordered the closure of all casinos and gambling halls Wednesday, consigning gambling to four special zones in far-flung regions in Russia, some of them several thousands of miles and half-a-dozen time zones away from Moscow. This has really hurt the economy and made thousands of people jobless.

Secondly almost every industry uses gambling to make money, but they do it in a more sneaky way. I mean what do you think you are doing when you ring in to enter into a quiz on a Saturday night? This is probably one of the craziest forms of gambling, I mean the quiz probably asks the easiest question ever, that everyone knows the answer too. Such as "What colour is the ocean? Then a vast amount of people ring the premium rate phone number which costs around £2.50 for the call, when you know that it is very unlikely you will win the main prize.
