Before & After

Before

Gambling has been around for thousands of years and while it can be an often entertaining pastime, because of the pursuit of money and wealth in our society today, more often it brings misery and debt to those who pursue it as a profession or become addicted to it because it lures them in to thinking that they can get rich. Only a tiny percentage of people are successful with gambling.

Gambling is a major problem today which affects many people and statistics show that those most adversely affected by gambling are the poorest in the community. Gambling gives hope to people who live in poor conditions even though the odds of them winning are significantly low, and even lottery companies use advertising to entice them in to parting with their hard earned wages for that huge and highly unlikely long shot of winning big.
