I have a problem with this being an anti-gambling ad, because the video doesn't share anything educational that would teach people why they shouldn't gamble their entire savings. I couldn't connect with this video, and it might be the same for everyone. Yes, the government may have tried, but I don't think it's enough. This advertisement will attract more people to gambling.

Exactly since at the ending they validated the action of the guy's father who had used all his savings to bet on Germany winning the title, more like saying he took a rewarding risk. If that was supposed to be an anti-gambling add, then it defeated its real purpose. A neutral person would drive inspiration from the action and replicate such irrational gambling practice.

Many times, the government tries something that is actually launched with the expectation of being very effective for the citizens, but in the end, it turns out to be a mess, and I think the same thing happened here. Sometimes negative marketing can bring positive results for opponents, and here too, anti-gambling advertisements are attracting more gamblers to gamble.

So I think the government must be more careful in conducting awareness campaigns on sensitive issues like gambling so that its positive results have the kind of impact on society that the government wants.
