I don't like a nation of sport gamblers as they would be in default debt really soon because no one would really work,all of them would have their mind in their betting.

A nation of sport gamblers will have the problem of having citizen who are mostly Irresponsible. The gambling will not affect everyone making everyone irresponsible, but it will surely have the number of irresponsible people more than the responsible. The irresponsibility is people who gamble without control, and those that will do anything just to keep getting money to gamble including involving in crime.

Isn't the world have already lots of irresponsible people? I don't see any difference in statistics even with sports gambling being the trend since being irresponsible is all in the trait of a person whether the Nation is a sports gambler nation or not, if a person decided to be irresponsible, he will be irresponsible.

Gambling on the other hand has nothing to do with your physical health (your mental health is another story) and thats why there isnt any entity to keep you in line other than the government and the government always ban the stuff which cant have it under control.

I don't totally agree with this. Gambling directly affects your mental health too. Do you know why people become a gambling addicts? This is because they play too much gambling that their mind fails to recognize how much gambling is good or bad for them. They are unable to make the right decisions and this is directly linked to mental health.

Also if people start to lose in gambling, they will become tense. They will have a very adverse and bad effect on their mind. Just like winning in gambling and getting a lot of money can have a good effect on the mind, losing money will have a bad effect on the mind.

I greatly agree gambling has an effect on a person's whole being. The moment the person is engaged and starts gambling, his time routine has already changed. Whenever there is a change in time schedule, our body always react to this. Every changes in environment and routine there is an effect to our physical and mental health.
