This post was inspired by a thread I saw on the social media platform X which says that
betting companies are not your friend, their apps are designed to keep you broke and addiected". Well that's his opinion but left for me I don't support that statement cause those companies are not illegal, and they don't force customers to patronize them, moreover if they want you broke they won't advise you to gamble responsibly. Also, gambling is a game of luck and if every gambler acknowledge that and avoid being too greedy, then gamble in a responsible way, I don't think they'll go broke or get addicted. What's your opinion, do you support his statement?
Betting companies are strictly out there for business, the Betting companies don't control you, except if you want them, you're in charge or in control of whatever decision that you make while gambling, to get addicted or not get addicted because they don't force whatever your activities might be but only has a way to attract its customers or entice them patronize their platform.
I used to own a betting outlet/shop some time ago, and though it didn't feel right but i did want people to lose more often because that way, i made more profit. so yeah, every casino owner wants to make more profit from their business, in order to cover their expenses, pay their workers and enrich themselves, and the only way they can do this when the players play more and lose more than they win. So when folks get addicted, they're kinda like the casino's best customers because they know just how much they benefit from them, so yeah, it's all in the favour of the house in the long run.
