Since a couple of years we see a rise of ads for betting sites. It seems that suddenly betting is very popular although it already exists for a long time. It’s very popular with young people or young sports fans. In these ads they show the excitement when people win a bet and that would encourage these people to do it also.

On Facebook there are many communities who share their tips and tricks to win easy money. If people start following these groups they will get notifications when something is posted in that group. If you get these notificitations regularly this can lead to a online betting addiction.

Is it responsible to show these advertisements between sports games? Doesn’t it encourage the sports fans to risk their money on these games? I think its not good that they are making betting a part of the experience of watching football. Personally I like the excitement of betting on sports games but I know some people would lose a lot of money with it.
