Many people who at present shy away from being involved in an illegal activity will take up soccer betting with enthusiasm. It will widen the number of people who are being involved in gambling. It is not a good phenomenon. It will obtain the risk of having more social problems. When gambling become more common or can be obtain easily, people may think gambling is part of their life or hobbies. And also people believe they could make a fortune in gambling, they will have no intention to work for living. It is totally misleading and ridiculous as there is no free lunch in reality and betting always creates few winners but lots of losers. The numbers of people who are in debt may increase. Government may need to use lot of money to subsidize the debtors. Legalizing soccer betting will just encourage more people to participate in gambling and promote a gambling culture, which is surely no good for the society.
Thirdly, it caused negative impact to the young people. They are full of curiosity and willing to try new things, betting on soccer games will be attractive to them. If government authorizes the soccer betting, it is not surprise that the youngster will think the government encourages betting on sports. Wrong message will be given to teenagers. They may think betting on basketball, car racing or other sports are also acceptable. It will draw young people towards gambling habits. It was strange that the government wants teenagers to be physically and mentally healthy that's why they banned the tobacco advertising on sports, while on the other hand, she legalize soccer gambling. What a fallacy! The concept of making fast money will be introduced to the young people. Also, it will promote a concept of gain without effort. Apart from these, young people will spend most of their time stick with the televisions because they are interest on their betting. In return, they will have less time to study and get poor result.
