Gambling is all about luck. You don’t have any control on it and your strategies are just not working out in any case if you aren’t that much lucky someday. Believe me, no skill can have any impact on your results when you are gambling. So why to go for such option that is biggest risky for your money? Why to gamble when you already know you will be getting loss? Think over it.
You should not even be considering a strategy as long as it comes to gambling, but instead just depend on your luck and if it does not pull you through, you move on and find something else to do. However, some people have ended up painting the worst picture in their head as they tend to just look for ways to get rich quickly and then believe that gambling will set that path for them when they should be using their funds for something useful or even saving it.

Gambling will only and always make the pocket of the platform owners richer and the gamblers who have the wrong mindset poorer.

Gambling is the owner's game not the gamblers who have invested on any option. There are people go with the bitcoin and loose all the money over the gambling site. If there are high amount of investors through out the gambling site to play for luck and enjoyment purposes alone.

Since the people loosing the hard earned money on the various gambling site. All the investors showing the gambling website as a negative thing mate.

Gambling is a business just like any other business. To sustain a business, they need profits and it's not wrong. Gambling houses are not here to do charity! When people gamble, they mostly understand the risk associated with it. Majority of the gamblers understand the risk of loosing money if not all. They also understand that they can win big in their luck support them. That is called responsible gambling! One should not gamble with their last saved penny but if anyone with control to his emotions and finances, will never go bankrupt because of gambling.

It's just the outlook of people towards gambling needs to be changed. Yes, there are people who has gone bankrupt because of gambling. But we have seen instances of people going bankrupt after investing in stocks as well, that is also a form of gambling, packaged in sophistication! I strongly believe, gambling is nothing wrong if you play responsibly. The problem starts when someone goes out of control.
I also don’t criticize the owners of casinos for using or tricking their customers. It is how all business of the world run. It is not only gambling that is injurious for its player but the coca cola is no different from it. Alcohol, Nutella, McDonald, KFC, Microsoft all the businesses have sustained so far because these are good at playing with human minds rather they understand human nature well.
Even if I'm the owner of those businesses then I would really think of the same way which we do really need to profit. Doing things even though we do hide something as long we do profit and benefit you will surely do and talking about gambling sites tricks would be there but wont really be that obvious. Negativity on gambling would either depend on the type of community you do had.

Is it not?  People go there because their very hasty to get rich and they want it to happen in a few minutes of their play. Their positivity where they think that they will win the game is actually a bad thing and that is where all the negative things start to happen.
More like a tooth for a tooth and a question for a question. One thing is that a lot of people today are busy seeing gambling as way to get rich and removing from their mind the fact that it is a game of luck and they have a higher chance of actually losing more than even winning at all. It is a bad thing that has led so many people into becoming an addict and from the look of things, what is actually there not to be portrayed as being negative?

It is because it is closely associated with playing with hard earned money. There are other times when people would gamble because the money they have with them that are intended for gambling did not come from their hard work- might be from corruption, from robbery, among others. The bottom line is, it is a conscious wasting of money with due disregard to those who have less in life, economically-speaking. It is similar to those gluttons that are disregarding the needs of the hungry. I think this has something to do with the culture we are all in, and you know culture, it is difficult to stop unless you kill the race per se.

It has existed since quite long time but the popularity of internet has made it accessible to wider audience. Earlier, it was limited to rich and influential but these days I see even college students being addicted to such websites. If your studies or work is affected by gambling, it is something to concerned about and portrayed negatively.
Precisely.Gambling may be good if you know how far your limits but if you go beyond it,negative results will start to come.Honestly,gambling is only made for an entertainment purposes but some people are doing it for their means of living.If they win,much better,but if they loss,all the family members will suffer.This thought should be avoided as much as possible.
Gambling can never ever be good in any perspective as there are no such success stories we can hear in gambling. However, playing by keeping yourself in limits will only help you in your coming future that you will be saved from deadly ends otherwise you wouldn’t be able to bear the consequences of gambling as many people like you and me also weren’t able to do that.

Most of the time gamblers get addicted to it. This is the reason why gambling is portrayed negatively almost everywhere. When someone benefits out of the same and make use of it as an opportunity gambling is good. One need to know the limits in gambling and should stick to it, which helps to gamble without ending in addiction.

No strategy is actually involved in gambling and the people who are saying on these forums that strategies do work in gambling as they know some people who work with these strategies all the time and are able to win most of the games they play. These are all lies as they are not gamblers and just passing their time and spreading wrong concepts around the world.

The problem is that people, espessially desperate ones, tend to earn a bit betting thier last funds. This approach is initially wrong. Gambling, basicly, is a game with a material interest. When a player seeks for fun and pleasure betting enough not to lose everything in case of bad luck, that is real gambling (which can be negative in its essence). In addition to my opinion I would like to share a cool project with you. You will discover there how gambling can be relaxing and fair Smiley Not adv, just a kind advice

Trading(online, betting on currencies outcome, buying stock etc and not real trading of goods) is booming only lately while gambling is almost as old as humanity itself. The majority of people both lose in gambling and in trading but the trading companies are making huge marketing campaigns and brainwashing people that it is easy to make money trading online. Unfortunately as always brainwashing works wonders to many persons.

The reason why gambling portrayed negatively almost everywhere is because people who gambles get mostly addicted. They do not treat gambling as an entertainment or for free time, they consider gambling as a hobby or a part of their life that it will cause addiction then turning out losing all of their savings and getting bankrupt.

And the negative impact of gambling is so much more so if you're addicted, you can not only lose all your money, but you can be a thief, a thief who steals money just to gamble, that's a lot of cases. Gambling is a game that requires you to control yourself well, if you can not control yourself, then you can not gamble.

I belive it is just a social taboo about gambling and we need to rethink our stand towards gambling. It is just another legal business. What's your view?
It is a social taboo and it's already part of the belief in the society through religious teachings that gambling is evil, negative and bad. You know that beliefs are passed from generations to generations and its changing. Maybe in the future the thought about gambling will become positive when governments are promoting good benefits of gambling or sharing those people who got their fortune through it. We can't change this stand about gambling for now but time will come that it will.

I am not that much religious person but still gambling is really worst thing according to me. If you have invested there any gambling platform will it give return to end of the day. It is not all a true thing mate.
I see the gambling just wasting your fund on dustpin. Instead of that you guys devoting gambling can donate the poor people near to your home side mate. Even government and shit politicians getting bribe and allowing people loose the money if they are third world country too.
We have different description of what worst is and if you think that gambling is, it's your opinion then. But you may seem not to understand what's the real discussion here. It's not about the fortune, gambling platform, return or anything that's related to the outcome that you can get with gambling. But it's about on how the society thinks about gambling and it's already part of our generation and belief that gambling is bad, negative and everyone should stay away from it.
You have made people aware about gambling as it is a bad habit and you suggested everyone to stay away from it which is totally correct as gambling has no good end which people come to know at the later part of their lives. But this is not the need of this forum as they are asking here about the consequences of gambling here and in my opinion, gambling is bad because of worst ends.

Not everytime though! Gambling not always leads to worst end, if you know how to gamble responsibly, you will never see worst end out of gambling. There are people who have won millions of dollars from gambling, but the story doesn't end here. It can lead that individual in two ways after a million dollar winning.

First is that individual invests that money into other business and spend responsibly which can give that individual a very comfortable life. Second that individual invests that money into gambling again to win even bigger. So here is the difference between a responsible gambler and an addicted gambler.  I already mentioned in my earlier post, that no addiction is good. We all should know when to start and when to stop. If you have researched a little about gambling, you will see addicted gamblers usually ruin their life. But we also have good examples of people who have made their life amazing from a gambling win. So it entire depends on a individual on what to do with their life. Gambling business can't be held responsible.
The majority of people including me think that gambling is a worst thing and all the people should avoid themselves from gambling. When something is not welcomed how is it possible that it would be better for people. I think gambling and gamblers both are bad and they both are portrayed negatively in the society almost everywhere in the world.

I agree that it is not the best way to seek money or profit from but sometimes we come to the point in life where we have no place to turn in order to make money and then we often resort to gambling. I will advice against going for it even though you have no pressing needs than those who have the need to test their luck in order to fix a something in their lives.

Gambling is everywhere negativ portrayed because they are to many people who could not controll themself and lost everything they got. So of course they are a lot of people who get rich with gambling, but they are already more people who make negativ experience with it. And they are more people portrayed on television who make those mistakes. So gambling isnt just gambling, its also making a strategy and thinking before you do something. If you dont, you will lose 100%!
It is apparently the mindset that a lot of them normally have towards gambling that has made it that way. The negativity that generally surrounds gambling as far as I am concerned has been far more than the positiveness that surrounds it

That is because a lot of people always look for things in the wrong places, such as looking for profit in gambling when it is not an investment and purely a game of luck but it is just unfortunate they do not always get that before their time gets too late. If one or two gamblers are doing like that then there will be no problem but all the gamblers are doing like that which is must be the fate of entire gambling field.

I am not a veteran in this gambling industry so trying to understand what majority of the people thinks about it.

I have seen a lot of threads in this section as well as in other online forums which always protrayes gambling as a negative line of earning money online. I have seen people comparing gambling with alcohol addiction. I have seen people actively trying to discourage others from getting into gambling industry. What's wrong with gambling?

It is just another business and also legal in many countries. People who buys lottery tickets are also gambling only.

 In trading industry, you bet on your speculation and in gambling industry, you bet on your luck. In both trading and gambling, there is a risk of loosing money. So why trading is seen as a good way of making money and exactly opposite for gambling?

I belive it is just a social taboo about gambling and we need to rethink our stand towards gambling. It is just another legal business. What's your view?


Two perspectives: the business side and the individual.
For the business, gambling can be very profitable as it attracts mostly users of legal age, and people who have the monetary means. With its name, gambling is also a risk to most casinos as it purely revolves around luck. But mostly, some gamblers tend to over commit their boundaries resulting to an influx of betting which ultimately leads to their downfall. Regardless of what the status may be, a gambler would always go back to a casino.

For the perspective of an individual, gambling is a double-edged sword wherein one may profit from it depending on their luck, and others may feel that the odds are not on their favor. The problem with most gamblers is that, some think that gambling may solve their financial struggles or needs by relying their money on risks. This creates a problem to the society since it creates this endless loop of them going in-and-out of casinos hoping to recover their losses.
Another perspective are mainly for the gamblers who see it purely for entertainment. They gamble primarily for leisure. Regardless of their winnings/loss they typically do not care.
I also compare gambling with alcohol and drugs addictions. When you cannot leave anything easily it means that you are addicted of that thing. As I am smoker and I cannot leave smoking, it means that I am addicted of smoking. The same is wig gamblers. They are addicted of gambling and as it is a worst thing the society think gambling addictor bad people.

Interestingly, there are medications to cure gambling addiction as well. There are certain medications that can benefit these individuals. Generally, the prescribed medications belong to the class of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors. But, you must take professional advice before taking these as the dose may differ depending on your current situation.

In my own personal opinion, the reason why gambling is portrayed negatively almost everywhere is because gambling is not a good influence in every individual that it can lead to extreme addiction in gambling and you might get bankrupt from it. Gambling is just for entertainment or fun that you should not use gambling to earn money and you should also control yourself why playing for you not to get addicted.

Gambling is portrayed negatively by others is because gambling is very addictive that can lead to bankruptcy, increase usage of alcohol and cigarettes, increased rates of unemployment, and poor mental and physical health of a person. That is why if you want to gamble all you need is a self control while playing.

increase usage of alcohol and cigarettes
I don't think that this has connection with gambling. We as gamblers don't have identical habits, there are formal gamblers and this is a very normal behavior to take alcohols and cigarettes.
increased rates of unemployment, and poor mental and physical health of a person.
Also with these, I can't see the effect of gambling and why it was being portrayed negatively. But this can correct too due to the society's point of view.

I guess it's a normal social stigma, simply because you are most likely to lose money in gambling that you are in other things (like trading). People can see trading as a job, because they think those doing it understand a lot of mathematics and economy, etc, and that's the reason they are able to do what they do. Also it's a lot easier to go to a casino, than it is to become a trader. That is changing now, with more exchanges designed to serve the retail investor, but it's still harder than having access to gambling.

This means that we see a lot more people to lose money in gambling, than we see in trading, so people keep thinking that trading is great and gambling is a bad thing.

Let's not forget movies, and how they portrait gambling, perpetuating the stigma around this activity. Gambling is normally tied to playboys and gangsters, and trading to executives with big payrolls.

For me, gambling and trading are very similar, and both can be good and bad things, depending on how you use them in your life. The problem is that most people don't really like to think, and just believe what they are told to. This way they continue to see gambling as an addiction or something bad, and they see trading as something amazing that they which they could do but simply can't.
