According to Straits Times check, Singaporeans have gambled away billions of dollars last year, with bulk of bets going towards 4-D lotteries.In addition, there is an upward trend of residents spending hundreds of millions on both horse racing and Toto.Also, the giagantic taxes received on 4-D mirror the results of a recent government study which showed it was Singapore's most popular game. Studies also found out that more people see 4-D and Toto as leisure activities.With the lure of hitting the jackpot, it has become easier for people to part with their money and the popularity of 4-D has fatened governments coffers.
Personal views :
i really discourage people to gamble because gambling is a total waste of money. there are many people on earth who are hooked on gambling. There are many who have lost their everything because of their gambling habit. it is even worse when those gamblers who have already lost everything but still dont learn their lesson, thinking that they will surely win something the next time round. It is not all so bad to gamble but people must have self-control. Gamblers should also know that the people who suffer most are their family members. I remember that there is this advertisement about this father asking his young daughter to give him her savings, saying that he will return her some day. it was really sad to watch such advertisements and this advertisement is really so real.
