In a college study performed at 2 Minnesota Universities, showed that the percentage of college students gambling are 87%. Even though 87% have tried it, it does not follow that they keep on doing it to their detriment. Males are particularly at high risk as are drug users, those with family gambling problems, and those with poor grades. What is your opinion?

I am not really certain if gambling addiction is the same as any other kind of addiction. For a long time, people kept associating gambling with the bad things, which is common with all other disciplines. I agree that what you've listed, actually happens!

I think that nowadays gambling addiction is dangerous for those gamblers who play in casinos without the proper licence. For example, all casinos with Malta license have restrictions which will protect you from overspending your money and will help you to stop playing if you have problems.

But I don't believe that heredity influences your life crucially. Everyone has his own choice. Addiction is an illness, but a treatable one.

Also, I don't believe that poor grades and addiction are on the same page. A lot of students started the usage of drugs to improve their capacity of learning.

The main risk factor of gambling is an addiction, but you need to play responsibly to adapt properly in online casino games. Enjoy and have a free time with your favorite table card games online.

I guess that the biggest factor of risk is addiction. You always should know when you should say stop. Self-control is the main thing in gambling. But gambling is a great thing and I don't see any problems playing if you have enough self-control.

Honestly, it is not that I doubt the specialists from those universities, however I am not really sure that 87% of college students

I believe that if you can control yourself, then you can safely gamble, because we spend money on various pleasures for ourselves, for example, a person can go to the cinema and spend money, or he can spend money playing in a casino, what the difference is if he can control himself by gambling.

Its like any other addiction. Once you want to start betting you have to be responsible of your acts and your money. If you see yourself in any sort of trouble, you should look for help as well
