Betting and Social Media

In the years past, engaging in any form of gambling was frowned upon. It had been associated with devious characters that have nothing better to do than gamble all their money away. Small gambling dens were highly illegal and were usually located in seedy areas. The larger casinos were the only legal gambling sites but back then, it was not necessarily accepted as a place in which an essentially morally good person will not enter.

Over the years however, gambling has taken in some changes and has added new forms. Race track horse betting, sports betting, bingo and Lottery gaming have entered the world of gambling. Lottery gaming, in particular, has become widely popular amongst a wide spectrum of social class. Both the rich and poor alike have joined the lottery in the hopes of gaining big winnings.
