There has been a heat debate on the issue of legalizing football betting. Some think that legalizing football betting is good to the society while some don¡¦t.
I definitely opposed the legalization of football betting.
People who support the legalization of football betting may think that it is the best way to stamp out illegal betting. This is definitely not true. It is impossible to stamp out illegal betting even after the legalization. For example, in the western countries where football betting has been legalized, illegal betting is still very very common.
In order to gain more money, many people will still bet illegally. The only and the best way to stamp out illegal betting is through strict law. We must rely on the police instead of legalizing something w
hich is wrong. Legalizing football betting may even promote illegal betting in long term as the future society no longer think that football betting is a wrong thing. Legalization of football betting surely can¡¦t solve the problems.
