Addicts of gambling do not just suffer emotional and financial problems as a result of their addiction. Several other evils were also pioneered by it. What it does is create a false sense of security. In my view, it is the Gambler’s Fallacy. 

Several forms of gambler’s fallacy can occur, but the most common one believes that something is about to happen. So, for example, you believe them to be due during roulette if you haven’t seen red for 2 or 3 spins.

This is partially true, but the reality is that both red and black will appear in equal amounts in the long run. Over the long run, you will spin 100,000 or more times. The long-run is far greater than three, five, or ten rounds.

They end up losing a great deal of money on these things as they believe something is due to happen. Their problem is that they don’t understand how probability works.

Although they understand that something huge is supposed to happen, they don’t understand that they will have to test all possibilities to see it happen. 

Gambling games are often based on the gambler’s fallacy, and this is why casinos make so much money from these games. Fortunately, if you understand how large numbers and probability work, you can avoid that evil.

Many people do not realize this, so they stake ever greater amounts of money. Everyone must be made aware of the dangers of gambling to prevent this from happening in the future. We need to ask ourselves, through what medium does gambling promote its ills?

These mediums include: 

• social media
• The use of online advertising and promotions
• Websites and applications for gambling
• Public advertisements such as billboards
• sports-betting sponsorships on uniforms and sports grounds.

These methods will work as it has proved effective in instilling interests in the minds of people.
