Why are you being so dramatic? Gambling is a choice and no one is forcing an individual to gamble! If children get into this business it is obvious that their parents would react to this news negatively. As they are the ones who would be paying for his/her activities. I am not sure what made you think that everyone here on this board is always gambling. There are few here who would actually gamble and there is a big lot who are into sports betting. Luck-based games in gambling are losing their customer base. That is the reason most casinos on this forum are now adding sports betting.
Any business benefits from diversification. Betting on sports or on any event (including betting) is quite a fascinating activity. Of course, a person who is well versed in a particular sport can succeed here. Luck plays a role - but you also need knowledge. A passion for betting - a reasonable one - can serve as a certain incentive for a person to develop
Having the knowledge and information of the sports is helpful in placing a bet on a particular team but still that does not graunted that the team will won and you will win the money through betting on that team.
Why people still gamble is that they don't have to do anything hard and only bet on a team , if their choice is right the team which they bet on wins, it's easy money for them.
This is the crux of the problem why people still gamble.
From some ordinary gamblers or gambling addicts they consider gambling as a place to make a profit and can be used as daily income.
If you calculate the overall profit that you get will not be equivalent to the money that has often been lost at gambling.
Maybe these gamblers can benefit from predictable sports betting, but remember that every bet is very risky.
The risk is sudden defeat or the team that you predicted to win will lose.
So there are no guarantees in gambling.
