But why do people always avoid talking about the good side of gambling, but rather focus on the bad side, e.g whereby a man gambles, lost all his savings and family perish. Why do we always avoid the good angle such as whereby a man through his winning gotten from gambling, he is able to establish business for his wife, buy a new house and live a good life. Why do we always avoid such stories? Because the truth of the fact is that is a man who lacks self-control while gambling, so will he lack self-control while venturing into other things, hence, gambling shouldn't always be the cause when a grown-up man fails to take full responsibility of his own actions.
I don’t think people ordinarily focus more on the negative aspects of gambling. But you would admit that negative aspects of gambling are all over the news with people still being irresponsible with their actions. And with news like this always making the rounds almost all the time, people would quickly forget about the positive aspects and dwell more on the negative ones.
And I don’t think one who lacks self-control in gambling would automatically have same with other aspects of his life. Having self control in gambling doesn’t necessarily mean you’re going to have such a trait in other aspects of your life.
Negative news gets the interest of readers, that's the enforcer for the type of gambling news spreading around the society. Lots of positive aspect of gambling is silenced and not discussed. Most people think gambling is all wrong, due to bad publicity. The gambling community have lots of tasks ahead, regarding matters as this, which keeps tarnishing the good image of gambling. I think lots of irresponsible gamblers around the society, contributed to the negative news on gambling. As they get addicted and cause their homes to be sad.
The information circulates, and people would want to know the cause of the problem, gambling would be called. What else do you expect his acquittances to think or say about gambling. Although the good news barely gets discussed, players who won jackpots can, still, end up going broke or addicted. Then making the society think gambling, won't be useful on any account. It also shows that more people get affected by gambling, compared to the impact it has on them, money or skill wise. However, some gamblers have the opportunity to increase their skills through gambling. Skills like critical thinking, is obtainable via gambling. But depends on the gambler's level of understanding.
