lol, I'm really amused by the 9th fact Cheesy I'm a gambler and have never even violated the speed limit. I wonder how many people believe that?
Not all gamblers are involved in criminal actives but some are involved, have seen someone before that will have to steal just to gambling, the guy is addicted to gambling and can do anything to get money to gamble. I believe those that involve in criminal activities just to finance their gambling are those that are really addicted to gambling, but people that gamble just for fun or relaxation don't really involve in crimal activities that's why I always advise people not to be addicted to gambling.

This crime will happen if the person will get hook to much on gambling and he didn't get proper guidance from his relatives that's why they go on darkest point on their life. If they are already doing crime just to have money to gamble I guess its better for this people to go to rehab and any other help like advices will not really work at them, also believing any myths that can change them will for sure not work since this need professional intervention.

I agree and this is one of the reasons why kids should be exposed with parental guidance to gambling for gambling awareness' sake.  Keeping the kids blind about gambling is one of the mistakes we should correct.  A person must develop gambling knowledge in order to tackle and avoid the negative effects of gambling.  The more knowledge a person has on gambling effects, the more resistant he is to gambling addiction.  Aside from that, an informed person will never hesitate to contact medical experts whenever he sees signs of gambling addiction.

Here is another Gambling Myth that I often hear:

  • Women don't know anything about sports betting.

In reality, it is not all about the men, and in fact many women have a better sense than their male counterparts regarding sports betting. Betting on a sports game is not rocket science (and I am not implying here that women cannot be rocket scientists, either), even if some men would like you to believe that it is.

This is common all around. In the past women weren't much into gambling. Now things have changed a lot. In my country we've got hundreds of sites to play online rummy. Recently one women ended her life after she have lost $10k which she had borrowed from friends and family. The important part, she got addicted and her husband have warned and they were separated out of gambling. Further out of loss and separation from family she ended her life. Through this I understood addicted Women were there in gambling.

I believe women are already involved in gambling activity since ancient times.  One example is ancient Rome, women have a special day where they can participate in gambling since they are banned in gambling engagement during regular days.
