The problem is most people think gambling is easy not until they try it for themselves . And when they try to prove a point that they can conquer this with their sportting knowledge, emotions get the better of them and this doesn't only negatively affect their financial well-being but day gets runied and whoever they come in contact with can feel the negative energy coming from such a person , hence gambling can indeed ruin a relationship!!!
And the worst thing about gambling is that if you aren't winning,you could find your self in debt and if you fail to payback this could ruin your business relation with creditors, and if creditor is your friend this could be the end of the road for such a relationship.
Numerous people think that by learning a little about sports, they can easily guess the result and win a lot of money. Sure, but as you said, its not that easy. Feelings are strong, especially when money is involved. And what happens when those feelings suddenly explode? It can definitely make the whole day bad, and everyone around can feel it.
Worryingly, gambling has a lot of negative effects. It can be hard on relationships, and when you owe money as well as losing it, things get even dirtier. I think its important to remember that business and personal ties can overlap, especially with creditors. The problem is so much messier if the creditor is a friend. A real web of problems, isnt it?
