Gambling and Playing the Lottery are the Same Thing
August 28th, 2009
There is such a big shadow over the gambling industry at the moment that it is hard to even talk about it in public anymore. The gambling sector has become somewhat of an underground industry.
Whenever you tell people that you go to visit the casino or start playing online poker they look at you in a funny sort of way like you have done something wrong or you have obsessive behaviour.
All to be truthful all of this bad feeling towards gamblers has been created by the media. You can really tell how bad the sector has got especially when you look at things like trying to submit articles or press release, I can guarantee that almost 90% of them will be declined because of the fact that they are gambling related.
But what I simply dont understand is why the lottery is allowed to promote itself globally around the world? Why is there no law against this? I mean the lottery is probably the worst type of gambling you can get. At least with games such as poker there is a certain skill element to it all. But the lottery is something that is very much different its just about luck and picking the correct numbers.
But the lottery is all over our TVs and radios and nothing is wrong with that. It makes you wonder why, is it because the lottery is a government run scheme and they are literally allowed to do anything they want and wish.
I think gambling should be free for anyone to promote and play over a certain age gap, even visiting kids amusements, kids are permitted to gamble their cash away trying to win toys and soft teddy bears, so what makes poker or roulette any different?
