Why gambling is portrayed negatively almost everywhere?

[boy130]

Because gambling is often associated with unruly behaviour, alcoholism, drugs and violence. This occurs particularly in the movie, whereas it actually isn't the case anymore. Certainly not with online gambling, and I doubt there are many casinos run by the mob anymore. Seems like an outdated stigma that has long outstayed its welcome.

Because that's what gambling breeds negativity, people are homeless. others have committed suicide whiles others have so much debts all due to gambling and for those who were lucky to win the jackpot they normally don't tend to be that lucky because everything seems to come crashing down for them as soon as they make that money.

Well, i think it is not really the gambling itself that is the problem but the gamblers. I think because gambling has destroyed lives of many individuals. Many couple separated because their spouse was addicted to gamblng, sold their properties, been burried in debts and when a gambler court a woman the first reaction the gambler gets is he is rejected by the woman’s family because he is a gambler.

I couldn't agree the more, we often judge gambling by the lifestyle of some irresponsible gamblers  or people who were seen to be gambling carelessly and to me it's unfair because there are some fine sports bettors i know around who are very responsible and disciplined when it comes to selecting their games and in their private lives as well.

Yes, there are people who make money through controlled bets on a controlled basis. It is not a bad thing to have fun and make money. Not the same person who plays the bet every month with the player who bets every day.

yeah, it is really not a bad thing to make some winnings from gambling and have some fun as well, but it is a bad thing to expect to make those winnings from gambling or like you called it, make money !

Anyone who wants to make money should go and invest and it is this mentality that apparently makes the act of gambling a negative thing because people set their mind for the wrong reasons and instead of trying  to see the main picture, they just end up getting the wrong one and then becoming addicted. Hence, this brings about the negativity that surrounds gambling.

I think gambling already created a stigma as a bad thing to do and it can make anyone broke. Gambling addiction will not do any good unless you will be a professional like those poker players who were earning nearly millions of dollars even if they didn't win the tournament. I will never recommend gambling to anyone because I know how it is to be a gambling addict. It will never be a good experience.

I think we can all just base it from experience, a lot of people see gambling in a bad way maybe because they have experienced something not good along the way, we cannot blame them for giving advise to other people base from what happened to them. It all depends upon the person if he/she is going to take the advise or not.

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.

Bad is bad and gambling is bad habit, that’s why people have bad ideas about gambling in their minds. People know the results of gambling which are always worse, why they will not portrayed it negatively. Some people say that they gambler just for fun. I say that why those people not play a simple game for fun without any money involved?

[geopolisch]

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.

This is really making sense. Just consider the trading in bitcoins, why people don’t call it bad or why it’s not being promoted negatively? Because this isn’t bad for anyone. People come here and earn money from their little investments and these bitcoins are providing best platform to them to live a happy life, so they are being promoted positively. While gambling is promoted so truly.

Well said as gambling is something which mostly you do not have to do anything just put money anywhere and if you win you get the money else you lose money. Investing in btc is not that because you cannot get the result in couple of seconds like you made money or lost it like gambling. One has to do research and then invest in any coins.

Nothing is so easy except gambling. If you talk about trading or investing, people need to understand that these two things require skill sets from you. Rather gambling is just a game of luck. If you are lucky someday, you can be getting some good numbers as a results. But mostly this wouldn’t be the case. Once people win someday, the next day they start losing everything.

Gambling is also not easy. It also requires experience, skills and tricks to be a successful gambler. In my opinion the easiest thing is investment. If you have money invest it in bitcoin and hold for some time and you will make handsome money while doing exactly nothing except waiting. There is no need for experience, skills and anything else.

There are more serious problems than gambling that are illegal in a state but these happen. The truth about this world is, everything can happen under the blue sky and most of government people themselves are criminals but just with a decent look.

Besides, we can’t really stop a person from doing what he has made his mind for in this era of information technology where internet provides all sort of entertainments.

In my country gambling is also prohibited and if the security departments know about a place where people gambler they raid there and seal the place. There are no casinos in my country, because gambling is illegal and nobody is allowed to gamble, but many people still gamble because they are addicted of gambling and they cannot quit gambling easily.

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.

Yeah you are right gamblers always ruin their lives and left themselves in debts due to lose again and again in gambling. In 10 times a gambler wins just 1 or 2 times and the rest he loses. A gambler has no respect in society because the play and the players both are bad and nobody give them any respect because of their bad habit.

[gilangIDR]

Because gambling has many negative sides. All of these things we already know that gambling game has more negative things compared to its positive value. Because the impact is very large that can cause addiction and also destroy our lives so many people assume that gambling is a game that is not useful. This is what many people think, I believe that it does happen in reality. Better to do something much more rewarding and we will feel the result.

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?

this is just the perception I'm thinking:
1. Gambling is prohibited for religious countries due to gambling there are parties who are harmed.
2. the effects of playing gambling always toward the negative like stress, stealing and so forth.
3. intercourse becomes less healthy cheating everywhere.

that's probably why gambling is always viewed as negative by society.

Anything that harms human beings in anyway does not deserve to be supported or cherished. Gambling has ruined lives of people not only financially but mentally and emotionally too. So what is the big idea behind not calling it an evil and lame activity? I have even heard cases in which gamblers ended up committing suicide. All due to this game. It is dangerous for not only the player but his close ones too.

[wuvdoll]

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.

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.

The same mind that some gamblers find very hard to control and let their emotions get returned by their gambling habit until they eventually get addicted. The problem is the level at which people get addicted and then irresponsibly make people around them suffer for their stupid actions.

We really cannot blame gambling itself even though if we really want to face fact, it has brought more harm than good over the years, but I really blame those who just cannot keep their head and mind in one piece and let the impulse from gambling out rule their emotions until they finally become a gambling puppet.

The reason gambling is portrayed negatively almost everywhere because gambling do not have any good things that will help you in your life that is why gambling is a risk of loosing of money. Gambling will ruined your life once you get addicted to it that will have a big effect in your life like bankruptcy, increased of alcohol and drugs, and poor mental and physical health.

Basically, gambling has never a good end that’s why it is portrayed negatively in almost every part of the world. No doubt the ratio of winning games in gambling are very much less than losing because the people become nervous when they are playing with experienced ones and due to this nervousness, they lose concentration and make a move which leads them to a loss.

Gambling portrayed negatively because it is illegal in some aspects.If we heard the word gambling the thing that comes in our mind is waste of money.No more time for family bacause of addiction to gamble.For me I can't blame those perceptions that people are thinking about gambling.

What aspects you are referring to? Will you please elaborate? Don't just go away by saying "illegal in some aspects", instead let us know those aspects. There are many countries in the world where gambling is legal. What you are talking is the general conception of many in this world because they have never tried it. If you are referring to addiction, then it is not good to have addiction in anything in life. Gambling alone can't be blamed for that. Please elaborate your aspects here.

Gamblers are portrayed negative because most of them are scammers though not all. That is the sad truth.

It is simple math. Odds are always against player, you will most likely lose money but everyone is hopping for big win - which isn't impossible but it is rare.

I have seen people comparing gambling with alcohol addiction.

They are based on lots of studies. Research some.

I have seen people actively trying to discourage others from getting into gambling industry. What's wrong with gambling?

Nothing at all as long as you are responsible.

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

Yes, but you don't see people buying lottery tickets for all money they have. There is huge difference between lottery and gambling at casinos. You mentioned alcohol - one glass of beer every day won't harm you but several bottles will.

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?

Apples and oranges.

[ASHLIUSZ]

If you make a survey among the list of gamblers, you'll find almost 90% of them have list while the 10% have won the lost amount of the rest. This makes people portray gambling in the negative manner and the next this is the addiction. If one has entered into gambling activities, soon he won't come out even when he's experiencing continued loss which is completely due to the addiction.

There is always be nothing wrong about gambling. Problem do always come to whoever gets addicted to any kind of game or services. Remember that too much of everything will always be not healthy.

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

Because it is really the soul purpose of gambling it is a form of entertainment that should be taken moderately.

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?

You have to understand as well that it comes with another type of gambling. What people usually discourages is the type of gambling that you play. For me people usually misinterpret gambling that are on gambling house and taking a risk or to gamble in trading

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?

I am totally not into gambling that can be seen in gambling house because basically this are just for entertainment (tho there were really some who are making money out of it)

[Blondy12]

It's not a negative way of earning , gambling is more like a easy sort of way for making quick cash and the chances of making that is possible but the problem is within the people who use this method , most of them do make profit but because of there greed they continue to gamble and lose it all. This is why many consider it to be negative otherwise there are many ways to make money from gambling

Definitely right mate. Many have understood the existence of gambling when the real purpose of it is to give pleasures and entertainment to people. But because gambling gives us quick money that is why people tend to gamble to gain more without thinking that there is no way to always win in gambling and most of the time gamblers losses. And because they tend to bring back what they’ve lose, it ended up with more losses.
