Making money from online betting - addiction, myth or adreneline rush?

It's estimated that 40 percent of young Ugandans gamble. Edith Kimani hosts a lively debate in Kampala on why betting is tolerated, who really benefits, and how a simple bet can lead to a medical addiction.

We Kenyans shifted frm betting TO trading but both of them have one thing in common (GAMBLING)

Interesting discussion! I think betting is an issue which should be discussed more (all around the world), especially the risks of it...

God gave the African youth nothing but hope. We willl live on hope, for now.

What does that mean???

[@derrickmugabi8254]

My take is that even the educated, employed are increasing in the betting world and because they have monthly money, they are comfortably doing this as a side income to some and it does pay if you disciplined and do calculated risks, its online so makes betting easier for many and you find yourself even paying bills using these winnings

[@DWThe77Percent]

So it's a lifestyle?

[@derrickmugabi8254]

@@DWThe77Percent You could say that, one of the guys there described it in a way that you can't feel the soccer match as much as one who has betted on it, it's like the love for the actual game is dying, but when you bet on the game, you feel better about the match so yes its part of people now, i don't know what level of addiction that is, but yes its now a lifestyle, when your team wins and you betted on it, victory is sweeter, and when you lose and betted against your team and you win money its mixed feelings but money comes first in this situation.

Fools lose terribly but disciplined one make money

[@DWThe77Percent]

The statement everyone can't be rich because no one will work for the other is wrong. Everyone can be rich but the issue is rich or wealthy is in levels some will always be richer than others but everyone can be rich.
