I ll be honest to you: I do believe is possible some types of gaming can be more or less harmful and each people may be different on it. But Im not Reccomending one e.g. start betting on horses to use it as a paliative to an online cassino addiction.
Someone mentioned poker. I played online poker for years and didnt do a living with it but played patiently and regularly. When I lost, thats it, but I won more than I lost. Problem is that the bankroll was shared with the sports betting platform and I d blow away all the profit from cards in two or three hours.
My big trouble is with football betting. I bet on horses a half dozen times but didnt bother too much and lost only a few dollars. I dont fancy casino and everytime I see a roulette something ticks in my mind saying "go away, they rob people!" But with football betting unfortunately I couldnt see the danger because I have an average knowledge of the game and thought Id be secure. A big mistake.
I also Im pretty certain that its a risky thing (to try to be control in another game) because I firmly believe that some people has a predisposition to became easily addicted. I have problems (in differente degrees) with football betting, drinking, recreational drugs, smoking, videogame and internet. I must avoid anything addictive and obsessive as much as I can and I know a lot of people here are in the same situation. The fact is: you may like or not betting on cricket; if you dont enjoy it you probably will not have why to bet on it. But if you do like and already have problems on otjer spheres its only a matter of time to this one becomes huge.
