In our society now a days the betting system is spread out every where....
Not only business people, the students also are attracting by this business...
In my view it is not a healthy environment for a good society....
We have to see and enjoy every cricket match.... but not to bet....
What is your opinion on this situation at present in your country?.....

In our country, betting is just a normal thing an a source of fun. But sometimes, there are money involve so it is quite more exciting and enjoyable. But it was just during league in either local or national games. For me, there is nothing wrong to that as long as students and ordinary people do not abuse it.

I agree with Kokomo. There are some countries where betting is a normal way to pass the time away. And yes, the thought that you can earn extra cash from sports betting makes watching the games even more exciting. I would just like to emphasise that we all should be wary with our betting habits. Some are not able to control their gambling and, unfortunately, end up in debt. So be careful when betting. You should make sure that you visit trusted betting sites and that they do pay winners before betting with them. As for me, I visit to learn about free betting offers.

hi gamyam.
i personally do not understand the game of cricket and thus i do not bet it. i can see its popularity and if i do get a chance to learn the game, i would most definitely bet on it.
this betting culture that you speak of is prevalent in our country. we have all types of bets in different sports. i agree that if done in excess, it will be detrimental to the financial state of a person.
however, if done correctly, betting can be another source of income. it has its ups and downs similar to that of a normal business. i bet games as a past time but also view it as a possible source of income. i do make sure that i only bet what i can afford.
cheers and happy mylotting gamyam!

On early year sports is for entertainment purposes only, but now a days its not, it turn out to be gamble like betting game, this betting game is dangerous to students because when they get hooked on betting game, there is a tendency that they will not focus in school, this problem should be addressed to the government, they must make laws about betting game.

There are many addictions which people from all walks of life get caught up in. It is sad they choose to spend their money on this sort of thing when they could make the lives of their families so much better with a vacation or a get together. It is just a mix up and bad choice of priorities.

I really try not to bed often, most of the time it is for fun in our family between my husband and myself. I think we are about even for winning. I do play scratch offs from time to time though.
