Why gambling is portrayed negatively almost everywhere?

[avikz]

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?

You cant changed peoples mind on whatever they do think about gambling.We cant really removed on communities minds about the negativity yet we do have seen lots of broke gamblers which do suffer too bad consequences in life.There might countries which doesnt make any comments or negative views when it comes to gambling but in most cases or places we do really see that impression. Gambling should really be never mind as a money maker yet the sole purpose of this thing is just purely for entertainment and winnings is just a bonus yet most of the time it do relies on luck and unlike on trading which it can be gradually learned and handled which is really a good thing to engage for long term.

If that's how they pointing towards gambling then let them think that way because in the first place, we have different stand about this.

Thos definition about gambling are came from the view of; a) a pure gamblers itself b) a moderate gambler c) an average gambler d) a person that just seeing others gambling activity (basically no experience) and e) a gambling loser

Their experienced will be their source of point how they look gambling in many ways and will shared it generally to other people.

Even how negative or positive you told people about gambling, still the latter will have the final decision if they will continue to do it or not.

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

Yes.Though gambling is considered legal in most of the countries,the thought that it's a negative way of earning money remains.Gambling may be good at first especially if you had won the game and make a quick profit,but when you become addicted to it,the outcomes are most likely negative.They cannot control their emotions already so they tempt to do such negative things just to sustain their vices.And in the long run,they will live into desperation and frustration that will definitely ruin their lives.

The sure thing on here is that it only depends on people or a gambler on how he handle himself in regards on engaging himself in gambling.It isnt bad to play gambling as long we are responsible and do know on what we are doing but eventually this is the thing on where almost people do fail to follow.When it comes to negativity i do believe it is already being part of gambling which it will be attached always or do somehow to be a traditional belief that cant really be removed into peoples minds.

It could possibly be a root for greed, everyone's greedy and one way or another and oftentimes some people would go addicted to Winning, not gambling in general, and it could have negative effect on people's mindset.
Of course it could very well be someone's stable source of income, then again not everyone's the same.
It is within societal mores that gambling feeds greed and that's bad.

I'd say gambling is okay, but it's not for everyone.

Gambling is viewed negatively in almost all places because gambling has too much risk, lots of negative impacts that can come from gambling. We do not need to mention it anymore because you also already understand it? Certainly gambling is a huge risk, just once you get out of control, you'll get hurt.

You can make different kind of technical analysis in trading and by that it can guide your decisions in placing your share/s while in gambling even though you can make multiple strategies that may succeed at first tries but it wouldn't last for sure, the Casinos and their system was designed for you to play always with lower chances of winning and obviously they got the highest probability to win in long term so in short you can't beat the system.

Gambling as a business is good for making a huge amount of money and profit for the owners. I experienced an addiction in gambling before and I lose a big amount of my savings in one of the Bitcoin gambling site and I really, really regret it, it was so stressful, if I can only bring back the time but what happened already happened, luckily I surpassed and decided to stop my addiction to gambling before it's too late.

I guess you have never tried to gamble and lose a big amount of your money.

It is up to people's backgrounds. In some countries, gambling is considered to be unethical, and also haram (From Islam's perspective), whereas in other countries, it is considered just a way to waste your money. Added to that, some people think that gambling is more loss than a success when it only depends on the so-called "luck" or your skills. I do not like to spread negative vibes to people. But some are fed up as they want to quit it and they cannot do so because they are addicted.

Everyone knows the negative impact of gambling games, it has become commonplace because there is a lot of evidence that almost everyone who plays gambling will get rid of bad lives and even many people who feel their lives destroyed after knowing Bitcoin. This is so significant that we are facing something so bad because of the huge impact of gambling. I am very sad when I see there are many people who have nightmares after they know gambling game. Strongly not recommended for someone to play gambling !!

This can be solved easily but the problem is many people do set up goals for them , do assure themselves that they are going to stop at the right time and that they will be satisfied with the profit but in reality it's the complete opposite a gambler is never happy with the profit which he had set before

Well, ever since at the time of Christ and traditionally gambling is portrayed as negative or even considered it as a sin, maybe because it always involve money and mostly if a person is addicted in gambling nothing can stop him and they will continue to gamble in better and worst situation and until such time that he will used money that not intended to gamble and gambler mostly no more time for family and prioritize gambling after all.

Both are the same for me, trading is seen as a good way of making money because you don't lose your money immediately I mean you could lose it all but it doesn't happen right away compared to gambling. Also gambling can be seen everywhere in videogames, board games, lottery, bingo, arcade games and for trading tbh there's not much you can find.

I think the same stands true for Alcohol too in some countries, particularly mine. It is seen as a bad omen and people rarely drink in front of their families. Gambling too is seen very negatively and person loses his image in the society. Such rumors are only spread because people get way too indulged in gambling and lose touch with their normal lives. If anyone can do gambling soberly, I don't see any harm with it.

[supermine]

Because in some religion the gambling is considered as sin so they are spreading everywhere it is a bad thing to do.And another reason is most of the people in gambling will lose their money so they will say others that is it scam or don't play again.But people failed to understand that gambling is not a money making purpose,it is just an entertainment purpose which involves risking the real money so the excitement is more.

[automail]

I think those post that you have read proves that there is nothing to look forward to in gambling. It will just make you broke, so broke that you will have no place to live. I have seen a lot of people experience the same thing and I don't want that to happen to anyone else. The best thing to do is to stay away from it. There is nothing wrong  if you do it, as long as your money can afford it and don't get addicted to it.

[haroldtee]

Why are we even trying to deceive ourselves here? Anyone can gamble, as that is their choice and I do not have anything against it, as long as they are cool with what they are doing but comparing that with trading is a big NO for me.

In as much as they are both prediction game, in gambling you are making predictions and expecting your luck to pull you through which most of the time we know where that leads, but in trading, you depend on your skills, knowledge and the tools available at your disposal, then hope that it works out as planned which even if it does not, you know how to pull out.

With good trading skills, you are going to be doing much for yourself, but where does skills and strategy come to play in gambling except to totally depend on luck?

The only scenario where you can classify trading and gambling to be on the same level is when you do not have any trading skills or strategy and all you do is gamble your position in the market.

Take it or leave it, there is nothing much to get from gambling and those who expect so much from it are usually the ones that end up addicted to it and probably you should have known by now that gambling was never meant to be a money making venture while trading on the other hand is a profession, and if you treat it as such, you are going to be far better in the long run than 99% of every gambler. If you really want to consider investing, be the house edge as they are the ones making the money, not the gamblers.

Gambling is made totally for fun, it was just been tagged negatively due to people who abused it and became too greedy in it, since greed is included in deadly sins and we all knew how greedy players are when they play in gambling especially if they don't just considered it as game.

[KorakPawon]

how not, gambling is a negative thing, especially among people who are strong with religion, any religion prohibits the practice of gambling is considered unlawful, so people look negative with it, because gambling there will be a disadvantaged, not only that negative impact gamble is very large, ranging from violence, theft to the most murderous.
