Text 4. Gambling
Because of the generally negative religious view as well as various perceived social
costs, gambling is subject to some form of censure on most legal jurisdictions. In particular,
in many cas es , wagers are not recognis ed in law as contracts and any consequent loss es are
debts of honour, unenforcable by legal process. Thus the enforcement of large gambling
debts is often taken over by organized crime, using violent methods. Because contracts of
insurance have many features in common with wagers, legislation generally makes a
distinction, typically that any agreement in which either one of the parties has an interest in
the outcome bet upon, beyond the specific financial terms, is a contract of insurance. Thus a
bet on whether one's hous e will burn down is a contract of insurance as there is an
independent interest in the security of one's home.
Furthermore, gambling is either banned or heavily controlled (licensed) in many
jurisdictions. Such regulation generally leads to gambling tourism and illegal gambling. The
latter is often controlled through organized crime. Such involvement frequently brings the
activity under even more severe moral censure and leads to calls for greater regulation.
Conversely, the close involvement in governments (through regulation and gambling
taxation) has led to a close connection between many governments and gambling
organisations, where legal gambling provides much government revenue.
One of the most widespread forms of gambling is betting on horse races; and betting
on team sports is an important service industry in many countries. In Canada and the United
States sports betting is us ually illegal (Nevada offers full s ports betting and the Canadian
provinces offer Sport Select, which is government-run sports parlay betting). However,
millions engage in it despite its illegality.
