Casinos in the Philippines Plus Your Online Guide

An expat is no different from a Filipino when it comes to the penchant for gambling.

From time immemorial, gambling has always been a part of every culture. if it’s illegal, the clandestine dens flourish, and if gambling is legal casinos earn. Either way, the gambler is the loser and the operator is the winner.

Perhaps the difference is the expatriate has more money to burn while most Filipinos are poor, having a hard time making both ends meet. Instead of spending the money on the needs of their family, they will indulge in a game of chance hoping to bring home more.

Another dissimilarity would be the way an expat and a Filipino will wager. An expat will bet on the racetrack while Filipinos settle for a banca, boat, race from the waters of a canal. An expat will bet on the team that wins an NBA game, while a local will gamble on the ending numbers of both teams.

The bottom line, expats gamble away money they can afford to lose while Filipinos gamble away money they cannot afford to lose.

Psychology of Gambling

Gambling is a game of chance or risk where people bet money to gain more money or win prizes. People initially gamble to socialize, for excitement, and enjoyment. And by winning money this progresses to problem or compulsive gambling in the hope of winning more.

In truth, it is a high-risk, low-yield scheme. The house is always the gainer, only a few wind up as winners and many more end chasing losses and deep in debt.
