Recently I decided to watch a video on YouTube about gambling addiction about how different guys fight it. And what's most interesting is that I came across one video, watching which for some reason I had the feeling that this video was more promoting the casino than talking about the downsides of it.
Despite the fact that the main presenter of the video and the guest hero talked about the disadvantages of gambling addiction, but there were a lot of video inserts of guys winning huge multipliers and jumping happily in front of the webcam, and there were a lot of such videos. And in the end, I got the feeling that, rather, here the casino was shown in a positive way, and this was the secret message of this video.
I think it was sponsored by the casino.
What do you think about this?

Gambling in itself is not a bad thing, getting addicted is, gambling is a general something or activity which any body can participate in, but getting addicted is a person thing, it's a personal sickness you alone will suffer if or when you allow yourself to be infected by it.

Gambling will go on, people will gamble because they stand a chance of winning big from it, I could use a lot of examples to explain this to you, but let's use this one, many have died from car accidents, have this stopped people from buying new cars, has the number of deaths through car accidents stopped the car companies from producing new cars, the answer is no, so if we are still buying cars not minding the possibility of dying from it, why then should gambling be stopped or discouraged because of few persons that are allowing themselves to get addicted?.

Its never been bad specially if you are just that playing gambling for the sake of fun and entertainment then there would be no issues in regarding about it. It all matters about on someones actions and this is the reason on why they do end up on a disaster just because they've been trying out to push into something which we know that its impossible to be done here on gambling space. Now in speaking about those videos showing up against some gambling addiction but it do shows or projecting out something that pertains about that to play up even more or something that could be that influence you to play further. On the things you had elaborated above cars then its precisely on point on which despite of having that tons of people died because of accidents but still we do continue to buy on which this do shows that its just that situational and not everything could happen directly into you and thats why it doesnt have any sense if we are trying out to connect up the dots.

If ever there are some video that being produced or being shown about on how to combat or avoid gambling addiction specially if these videos are being made by the house itself or any gambling business out there but still not an overall solution when it comes into this aspect. Videos being shown could neither be that a real one about showing awareness about gambling addiction or could be just that only been made just for people do become that be hooked up to look and see and if it was really that intended for the sake of showing up some awareness into what gambling really is, then its a good gesture that they had made on. Addiction isnt something that could be easily be that be getting rid of with specially that it had already be that control over your mindset and emotion then getting out would be the toughest thing that you would be able to encounter on. Its important that you should be wary into the actions you are taking into.
