Why gambling is portrayed negatively almost everywhere?

[Shinpako09]

Gambling maybe legal but the effect of it is negative. To name a few, one is, it's addictive once a person have tried it, there's a high possibility that it will become his/her habit. Second one is most of the time, you're in a lossing side which is not good especially if you have a family or anything that must be prioritize.

Many areas consider gambling to be negative even though in the area gambling is legal. Even in say almost all places think gambling is a bad thing. It's because of bad effects from gambling. Everyone must have known the impact of gambling, so go gamble or not, it is their individual choice.

actually there are two types of gambling, one is legal and one is illegal . Also,  there is online and there is offline . illegal form of gambling are the ones who got the most negative impact to the public because its obvious that they are illegal although there were also legal types gambling that has got a bad reputation just because of people that has a lack of knowledge and research before they judge it.

gambling isnt bad as long as it is legal and as long as you have a self control , so that you can limit yourself and wont go overboard because gambling is known to be addictive.

This is not a social taboo but a real problem, as the main problem of gambling is its addictive nature. And people are not wrong when they compare Alcohol addiction to gambling addiction as you want to earn max and if you start wining you want to win more but if you lose you still want to invest your saving to get your money back but you just keeping on sticking into this trap.

Everything can become an addiction if used extensively it totally depends how you use a particular source. If you have control over yourself you will take everything in a healthy manner and control your mind from making it an addiction.

It's already sealed in the society that gambling is negative and it can give no positive result.

My parents raised me and taught me that gambling is too bad for everyone though he has money to gamble and he's supporting himself and as well his hobby which is gambling.

Who knows if this can be changed in the future, we are now living in the generation where bad becomes good and vice versa.

On the contrary, my father was a gambler and my mom, well, she plays occasionally but to have some fun. But both of them have raised our beautifully, although the influence of gambling didn't put significant dent on our family relationship and as far as I know I'm the only one who 'inherited' my fathers' gambling habit. Its being seen as negatively though by a lot of society simply because its bring more harm inside a family, (addicted father reflecting on the kids) so it only makes sense the its being frown by the community. But I was very lucky that even though my parents sort of a gamblers, we have been raised and finished our education.

It gets negative because people can not accept the worst effect of gambling, basically gambling is designed for fun or entertainment purpose only but most people use it as a fastest way to earn money.
In my opinion gambling should not be portrayed negatively, because the negative things comes from the gamblers who can manage themselves while gambling.

[Uno17]

Personally i am not a gambler, but of course we can practically defined the result of excessive gambling which results negative impact in life, we can see many addict gamblers everywhere in the world and how their lives becomes after having no control, of course it ends up broke and losing important possessions in life and sometimes worst things happens like losing even own family, because of mismanagement in life, but of course some gamblers too have successfully made it maybe their fortune is in gambling world. But only few are luckily lucky in gambling, that’s the reality.

[anavir]

The harm that it brought to most of the gamblers made it seal to have one impression and that is only to make the gambler poorer or addicted which can result as a bad habit.

Your father is responsible and different from the usual addicted gamblers since he took off his family and raised you well as kids to adults so good job and thumbs up for your dad.

I guess one of the reason is because there are many gamblers who got themselves seriously addicted to gambling and they even start to take huge amount of loans from their relatives, friends or even banks and this action have resulted them into getting huge amount of debts, and the cause of the root is gambling.

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.

Yeah! Medication is present to change the mindset of a gambler but before applying any medication, we should first consult the doctors and psychiatrists because they know more than us as it is there daily routine to deal with such cases. I think gambler should take long or short courses which he likes t take with the psychiatrist so that he can cure his disease more well as the cases are different for different people.

Gambling is prohibited or considered negative in almost any country or anywhere because it is very risky .. because it will create an addiction without control and will cause danger and harm yourself .. many negative impact if you gamble and you will lose money or everything, Avoid and stay away if you do not want to be poor..

Officially, every country except few ones say openly that no activity regarding gambling will be entertained and the person caught disobeying the rules and regulations will be punished strictly but they don’t do what they say.

Every state is well aware of every single affair happening in it but they don’t like to stop gambling casinos from doing their job because they are helping governments by paying heavy taxes.

I am not that surprised that gambling is portrayed negatively in most of the occasions. I have seen before my own eyes how some of my friends got ruined financially as a result of their addiction to gambling. Addiction is the problem, but if you start gambling then it is very difficult to stay away from it.

The recent advancements in the field of broadband has provided people with a number of online opportunities. There are social media websites for interacting with friends, forums to get knowledge about a particular niche and blogs to learn from experiences of other people. Another thing that has become quite popular online is gambling. Unfortunately, some people do get addicted to it which affects their life. This is why it is not considered a positive thing.

[ajochems]

In gambling,y ou need of some luck to win.In trading,you need to analysis the market and speculate the price in a month.Both the drinking habit and gambling is same.If you are addicted to it,it is very hard to get of it.It will spend all your future money.The people who had spread negative news about gambling may lose their dollars.

[apoorvlathey]

Such sayings are widespread because for new gamblers with small balances their bets aren't significant that much but after getting involved in it for sometime, the greediness might kick in and they might get so addictive to gambling that they end up losing all their precious earnings.
Other people look at the risk involved in gambling and stay away form it but real gamblers know how to look beyond it and have profits.

It's not the fault of gambling, it's you. Blaming gambling for your lack of responsibility isn't very smart. You could be as well blaming a car for hitting someone, not its driver.
Gambling is not addicting to people who don't get addicted to other things. Some people are alcoholics, some are gamblers, but although both alcohol and gambling exist some people remain sober and not addicted to gambling. Do you know why that is?

[neonshium]

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.

Yeah! We have no right to say the owners that they are tricking people and doing bad with their customers because they are here for business and business can never ever be done purely. Also, the people who go to casinos are old and mature enough that they can understand what is happening with them and what is good or not but they still go for gambling which means they don’t care about casino’s activities.

Exactly, everyone knows what he is doing and the things which he is doing are right or wrong. Everyone knows that gambling is a business for the people who are running casinos but they still gamble because they have made it a source of income and the casinos don’t fill all of their budget from only one gambler. They hunt on every single gambler who is coming and automatically a bigger amount is created.

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?

Maybe it is because of the norm and culture of the people. If you are a gambler you are portrayed as a bad people. Movies play a major role on portraying a gambler because all gamblers that are in the movies are bad people.

It is all about the game of mind. Nothing else can be done rather than to make your mind aware of the damages created by gambling in the past. Mind is a powerful machine and it really knows better and can differentiate between good and bad. It can inform us about the goods we are doing and likewise the bad we are even intending of. So just listen to it and make ourselves determined on that.
