To gamble is irrational and reckless. There may be the possibility of winning a big prize, but the overwhelming likelihood is that a gambler will lose money. Casinos calculate their odds so that they will always make a profit. Gambling attracts people with little money who are desperate for a windfall. These are the people who can least afford to lose money. They should be protected from the temptation to gamble. Gambling should be banned, or at least very tightly controlled.
 
I would say Gambling must be tightly controlled.It cannot be banned altogether.Gambling is illegal according to Indian rules but there is a big gambling market going on for the World Cup.Each and every ball is being betted including the toss and players who will in playing 11.Almost every movement in happening in cricket is being betted. Permitting gambling will make underground activities to come to the fore.Ppl can understand the gambling market better.So,I would say gambling with very strict rules is always better than not permitting it.

i personally think that gambling should not banned but rather have people better educated about problems with gambling, gambling is personal choice but too many people see gambling as life style and people only hear about how much they won but never how much they have lost in gambling people need to see the whole side of gambling not just the glory of it .
 
Gambling in India is heavily restricted, although there is extensive illegal gambling throughout the country. The Indian gambling market is estimated to be worth US$60 billion per year, of which about half is illegally bet.

Only two states allow casino gambling, Goa and Sikkim. There is one casino in Sikkim and 12 in Goa, of which seven are land based and five are floating casinos that operate on the Mandovi River.
