Football Betting as a game does not cause any physical harm to the players, but the players do undergo several emotional and psychological swings. On many occasions it has been seen that the gambler’s children are exposed to verbal as well as physical abuse. This creates a negative impact on the children. If both the parents are addicted gamblers, they fail to pay attention to their child’s needs and even neglect their basic responsibilities. In reciprocal, the children too start avoiding their parents. Gambling parents at times bring their children to the casinos and make them wait outside the casino, while they enjoy their games inside. Children brought up in this environment also tend to take up gambling at a very tender age. Thus the parent-children bonding which is extremely essential for a healthy family never take place.
Gambling also affects married life. Gambling is so addictive that a person can sit and gamble online, without realizing the precious time he is wasting. He neglects all his duties and even stops caring about his married life. Thus the blissful married life turns sour and bitter overnight.
Gambling also causes financial crunches. While gambling online the gamblers usually do not have to pay in hard cash. It is mostly paid through credit cards. It is for this reason; a gambler does not realize the amount of money that is flowing out from his pocket. After several lose, the gambler turns bankrupt; he burdens himself with debts and even end up selling his house. For family members who fail to rescue the gambler from this addiction often find it difficult to cope up with the harsh life style that the gambler leads. The gambler is solely responsible for his ruined and completely messed family life.
