Gambling

Sports Betting

Sports Betting is the activity of predicting sports results and placing a wager on the outcome.

Problem Gambling

Problem Gambling is the uncontrollable urge to gamble despite negative consequences in a person’s life. Gambling addiction can contribute to poor mental and physical health, loss of money, and problems with family, friends and co-workers.

Signs that a person may have a problem include difficulty controlling their gambling, lying to family, friends and others about how much time and money are spent on gambling, and spending a great deal of time thinking about gambling and planning the next opportunity.
