I chose this topic because my mom painted a table. She made it look like a poker game was going on and everyone just dropped their cards and left. Because of all the people that i know play those kinds of games where they are constantly loosing or gambling their money away, i chose this topic to aware people of the dangers of gambling.
3 facts:
-Problem gambling is gambling behavior which causes disruptions in any major area of life: psychological, physical, social or vocational.
-The term "Problem Gambling" includes, but is not limited to, the condition known as "Pathological", or "Compulsive" Gambling, a progressive addiction characterized by increasing preoccupation with gambling, a need to bet more money more frequently, restlessness or irritability when attempting to stop, "chasing" losses, and loss of control manifested by continuation of the gambling behavior in spite of mounting, serious, negative consequences.
-Quick fix solutions may appear to be the right thing to do. However, bailing the gambler out of debt may actually make matters worse by enabling gambling problems to continue.
