The structure of fantasy sports, with its points-based scoring and the potential for winning money, can create a gamified environment that mimics gambling, potentially leading to addictive behaviors. Addiction arises when the pursuit of fantasy sports becomes excessive, consuming a significant amount of time and energy, and overshadowing other important aspects of life. As soon as the first game of this hear begin, cricket enthusiast started making their team for the fantasy games. They see these gaming apps as quicker way to be millionaire but in process they injures losses. Just because these fantasy games is an addiction people keep gamble their money for the sake of quick returns.
Many individuals struggling with fantasy sports addiction struggle to recognize that they have developed an obsession, making it difficult to seek help. The potential for financial losses, coupled with the belief that continued participation can lead to recovery, can drive individuals down a path of addiction, leading to financial hardship. The allure of the fantasy world can lead to a noticeable withdrawal from real-life interactions and responsibilities as the pursuit of gaming becomes overwhelming. Looking atbthe way the upung generation were attracted towards these games. I belive it is hard for them to get rid of such addiction.
People who used to chit - chat in evening now can be seen into makingbtheirbteams and placingbtheir bet. I was not different, few years ago but now I realized how alluring and addictive these fantasy sports could becomes. The hope to make quick money can drive crazy and in many cases it increases the stress and anxiety level. The stress and anxiety associated with losing money or failing to perform well in fantasy sports can contribute to mental health issues, including depression and anxiety
I hope people could learn some lesson and get rid of these addiction and try putting their mind in some productive work. Watching a game of cricket is an entertainment but now with these glamorous sporting event have transformed the entertainment more into gambling. And ultimately people.losing sleep over money. The fantasy sports make richer more richer and poor more poorer. It is importsnt to treat sports only for the thrill and excitement.
In good faith - Peace!!
