What is online gambling in your personal opinion?

Gambling has existed for many years, it has always been an entertainment activity. People play with the intention of making a profit and having fun and there is nothing wrong with that. The most important thing is that people play with a lot of moderation, just like everything people do in life. see that when a person eats a lot and starts to eat excessively, then that person becomes very fat and has a lot of health problems, so doctors recommend that that person starts to eat little and do physical exercises to lose weight. So with gambling you also need to moderate. As long as one is playing moderately, then everything will be fine.

Are your feelings different from when you play traditional gambling?

I honestly don't understand what traditional gambling means. When people go to a physical casino or online casino, they choose the game of chance that they like or that they think is most likely to win. so the feelings each person feels depend on the game they choose to play. In my case, I just like sports betting, that's why I only place sports bets. I don't know what traditional games of chance are, because dice games are one of the first games of chance, but calling them traditional games of chance would not be appropriate in my opinion.

Does it affect your gambling habits when you play online?

No, I always have my self control well under control, I always have rules that I follow. So I keep placing my bets based on my rules because I know that it is necessary to have self-control in gambling and in all the things we do in our lives. many people keep creating many threads talking about gambling addictions as if all over the world only gambling makes people addicted, when they know very well that alcohol is something that has the largest number of people addicted to it, but Few people blame it on alcohol. It seems like people defend alcohol. In my opinion, gambling should not be blamed. because it doesn't make any sense

I believe that in my country the situation of alcohol addiction is also very serious. So we can't constantly talk about gambling addiction as if gambling were the only thing that makes people addicted, when we know very well that there are other worse addictions
