Recently, there was an uproar in a lot of countries that Illegal Betting is taking place, and even among teenagers below 18 !
Illegal betting is defined as predicting the sports results and placing a wager on it, only through bookies who are not recognized legally. It is not uncommon to see cases of illegal betting for various sport competitions, such as the World Cup, MBA and even the English Premier League.
The nature of illegal betting is similar to that of gambling. People get involved in such bettings for many different reasons. Some of them bet just because they want to win, while some of them bet just for the thrill of it.
And thus, I would like to justify if Illegal Betting is a morally right or wrong act.
To me, personally, I feel that illegal betting is morally wrong act. This is because it involves money. And when it comes to money, it is a very sensitive case. This is because the root of many problems in this world is money, or rather interest. (Don’t you agree? :D) And when betting comes in place, fights and injuries happen very often. This is because of a conflict that is between the person who receives the bets and the person who bets. Both of them care for their own interest, and thus, they tend not to pay up, or pay the winning side. Such cases result in fights, which may also results in serious injuries or even death! And thus, I feel that illegal betting is morally wrong as it brings many negative consequences.
Alternatively, I feel that if you really like to have a bet with your friends or family, you may use a lunch as your chips instead of money. This will be a much healthier bet instead of money.
Then what about Legalized bet? Is it morally right? Well, to be true, I don’t find anything wrong about betting with money. But if you bet excessively, and whether the law recognizes it, I feel that it is still not right to do so. It’s all right to bet, but as long as you know your limits and control yourself. A hundred bucks per month, especially during the MBA season and the world cup season is considerable acceptable, or rather is a bit too much. But other then that, it might be overboard I fee that it is not right for the person to bet so much. No matter what, I feel that he or she should not bet away all his or her assets. Instead should have self -control when they bet.
And thus, my conclusion is that if it is legalized betting, and the amount of the bet is not too high, I feel that there is nothing wrong in betting. But illegal betting and excessively betting is totally unacceptable and morally wrong.
