IT lesson 6: Compulsory Blog-Q1


Yes, I condemn the lotteries. It is already a well-known fact that many people are addicted to gambling and gambling has caused many family problems. People have committed suicide over money loses, heavy debts and pressure from loan sharks. Family problems are created when the gamblers start to borrow money from their family members.

From the YouTube video, one can see that addiction to gambling can create many family problems. The man was addicted to gambling went to the extent of borrowing his daughter’s savings just to gamble. He promised her that it will be his last gamble and that he will definitely strike a big one.

People gamble because of greed, no matter how little there is. When one gambles, you either win or lose. When you win, you would think that luck is on your side and you will want to win more. If you lose, you are annoyed and think that you could win back what you lose. So, you continue to gamble. Thus, no matter you win or lose, you are unlikely to stop. That is why some people became addicted to gambling

It is sad to know that there are so many gambling opportunities in Singapore. On Monday and Thursday, it is the Toto draws; Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday, 4D draws; first Wednesday of the month, the Big Sweep draw. And all other days, if not soccer then it's car racing. Practically every day one is gambling, and that is bad!

P.S. Mr. RS, sorry for the late entries.

  1. At least they're done and you've had a chance to express your views. You really seem to know the dates for all the gambling that takes place in Singapore. You don't partake, do you?
