Gambling


In this lecture we discussed all types of Gambling. I was surpised to find out that Car Insurance was gambling. This kind of shocked me at first, but when the lecturer explained, i realised how often we gamble without knowing or thinking. However I think more extreme forms of gambling like in a casino, gambling machines or even on the internet are highly addictive. Its addictive because we all like the idea of doubling our money, however we dont think more about the fact of losing it. Gambling will always be a frequently asked question in our society because of we have Institutionalised gambling like the National Lottery and Car Insurance.


here is one example of a popular gambling site :http://www.888.com/


here is another site which focuses on gambling addiction :http://www.livegamblingaction.com/gambling-addiction.html
