Why gambling is portrayed negatively almost everywhere?

[Viyamore]

Gamble for fun and not for profit and everything will be alright. Things can get complicated in a negative way when people get too excited after a couple of wins and think they could earn a living gambling which is attainable only for a 0.1% of very successful pro bettors.

If you gamble for fun, your throwing your money as well just for fun? HA HA HA. Quite funny mate! You should have thought first what to say. We can never please everybody to do what exactly we what. Maybe you should have used entertainment rather because it is much appropriate with gambling. We can never get assured that everything will be alright when people get to go gambling just because for fun. Of course, most people here are greedy for  money which makes it possible for illegal gambling casinos raided. Many negative outcomes are much recorded than the positive ones.

you must be already heard that from gambling people can ruin themself and their families because they were being an addicted in gambling and during i heard compare the positive things from gambling with negative things then the negative things are pretty much dominate if we involved in gambling world even though gambling can be considered as industry or the way to making money but we can't ruled out the effect from gambling

Every provably-fair system is not very ''provably-fair'', they will add something that looks very insignificant which makes all the difference in the odds. Since now gambling have gone online it is easier for them to exploit the users with sophisticated algo which will beat anyone trying to make a profit out of them.

Gambling is not in anyway a source of income, it is just for entertainment and the people offering the service obviously want to make loads of cash from greedy people instead of giving them any.

I myself had a gambling addiction and lost a significantly big amount of money while trying to make up for the loss. Many people will think that they won't become greedy and just cashout while winning, but thats something which is hardly possible, because the rewardingness of these games are pretty addictive and we will risk anything to get that feeling once more.

Unfortunately, people (gamblers) consider gambling as a full job and this is a wrong belief and the truth that this field is just for fun. Furthermore, the fact that gambling portrayed negatively through the most of the people, because they became addictive due to use this field in a bad way. And they cannot even control themselves, especially in every great loss.

In fact, I think  the big issue in the mind of people. For example, Why people cannot quit gambling?
For me, the main reason is they  cannot overcome their  internal conflicts (like, The false hope that they will win, Fear of losing all money, and debts...) , so this is a  psychological problems in the most of them. that's why the most pervasive thing in whole forum or internet in general is the disadvantages of gambling.

There are actually several reasons though, all over the world where humans are, everybody believes that hardworking in other to make money is a noble thing to do and that is a default social code everyone must abide to. But for gambling, its more like someone not doing anything expect his $5 to turn to $10 which is an insult to the majority of others that have to work several hours to be able to turn the $5 to $10 in addition of how it will surely leave one party in a disadvantageous position which does not happen in the case of work.

Another factor is because, virtually in all family is where you have someone whose is so unfortunate that lost everything he got through gambling and no right thinking parent would want to advise his ward to have engage in that. But with several reason why its not, the quest to outshine the other, pursue more money with lesser effort tendencies in human continues to make the vice a lucrative one all over the world.

Aside from the negative effect on the gambler's family family and the gambler itself because of the gambler's addiction. We know how religion opposed gambling, so even before a gambler started playing he already know that it is already considered wrong. Often, gamblers who became addicted or not are likely to show changes in attitudes once they started playing. I don't know but maybe because of the money loss. Gambling had been considered as a good past-time games especially by people who wants to spend their afternoon unto something other than sleeping. Gambling online and offline is both playing gambling and as far as I know, even if it is fun, what we do will be wrong once we start doing bad things because of it.

Because most of the time people heard that gambler ruined their life, abandon their family and got debt every where, and some even steal to gamble, trading and gambling is not the  same, in trading we are speculating the price and even if we speculate the wrong movement, our money won't gone all, in gambling we make the wrong judgement then all of our money is gone

[rodskee]

yes it because some people going to addicting in gambling they lose it all asset and the family become broken, gambling are profitable and fastes to make money in a short time special if the person or people are skilled in this field but take not even if the people have good skilled playing in gambling have high risk to lose all of his money if they do not know to control themselves in times not luck for their.

[adaseb]

Alcohol, Cigarettes and Gambling are all pretty much portrayed the same way. Even they are all legal in most nations.

The reason why Alcohol and Cigarettes are bad is because they are bad for your health and can kill you and cause harm.

Gambling can't kill you because you don't consume it but it can make you an addict like the above and it can cause harmful effects to your financial situation.

Hence the reason why it has a bad rap.

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?

Trading is just the same as gambling in the sense that both are betting money to earn some profit. In trading, most likely you have a trading plan which may last for weeks or months before you can have your desired your profits while in gambling it is viewed as a get rich quick scheme so there is a higher tendency that people will get addicted to it because of the easy way to make money.

Gambling may be viewed as enjoyable to some people while some are betting their lives on it hoping to get lucky. The problem with gambling is the instant rewards you get even though you have less effort but earn more that's why some get addicted to it. Trading may be buy and sell only but it takes a lot of time to actually be profitable with it.

IMO, trading is legalize by government meanwhile gambling is not

Why government legalize trading ?
Well, every government have their own policy to legalize trading activity or not. As I know, trading are control by world influence so let say if Trump declare war against South Korean, I'm sure most American stock will got it's affect while gambling are being control by house edge,codes,etc

Your argument doesn't hold. Gambling is legal in most countries.

I think it's because of the negative effects on gambling is more bigger than the positive like almost all gamblers always ended with lose, once the gamblers lose, they will thinking about the money that they lose. It's like 90% is negative and 10% is positive on gambling. Gambling also makes people become addicted like drugs and cigarettes do.

[mostcrack]

For me gambling is considered a very negative game of course can harm anyone who plunge in the gambling world, of course it is the risk of any gambling, but more in that it will be very bad if it continues to depth, unknowingly can damage the morale so that someone encourage to commit a crime, spend a lot of money, get drunk, leave family, rob and borrow, Is that true? or is this kind of opinion used as a scapegoat to justify italic behavior? if you are a gambler there must be something strange in your life and everyone will surely feel it.
So it depends on the perspective of someone in the country where their country lives when most of them think gambling is a negative thing maybe they live in a country that forbids gambling and that is the opposite, if you think it is a good bet then please run it, others advise not to make people change quickly, but with a very serious pleasure mistake it can make them aware.

maybe this is the reason that gambling has been portrayed negatively and the truth is if we cannot control our self in gambling, we will losing our money. I heard that many parents say to their children about don't play gambling, you cannot leave from that places if you play gambling and I think many people realize about this but the problem is they still continue to play the games.

There are enough countries where gambling is fully legalized though. Isn't gambling legal in the US in some states?
Do you have any options for online gambling if you're from the US or is online gambling just outright banned there?

Gambing being regulated is different than it being illegal...

He didn't know that most of the countries legalized gambling and it's one of the bloodshed's of some countries who are living with this type of business just like Macau. The belief of gambling and being understood as negative activity was due to the irresponsible gamblers. They acted thing that they shouldn't for the sake of their addiction, selling house to gamble and almost everything. It's a norm that gambling portrays negatively and we are living in a society when majority says that salt is sweet, others that never tasted it would believe its sweet.

If you see the equation is yes, trading and gambling do have similarities. Trading has the risk of losing money as well as gambling that has the risk of losing money. But in trading, if we put a price but we fail we will lose money but not all. But in gambling if we bet with all our money and we lose in the bet then all our money will be lost, this is what makes everyone who does not like gambling will compare the gambling with the negative or illegal.

Then, not all countries legalize gambling. There are some countries that forbid their people to do gambling because it is not in accordance with the religion they teach. Most likely people who think that gambling is a negative thing is a person who is obedient to his religion. So naturally, there will always be pros and cons of gambling.

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

You don't have to be a vet know everything about anything..

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?

Gambling is not bad,like many people said,addiction is.Alcohol is not bad,being an alcoholic is.Problem starts when a person who initially started gambling for fun is not able to come out of it.The fun part is over,now it's all about making more money.From which we can conclude what it all boils down to : Greed.And you will agree too,greed is bad.

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

Yes they're and no problem with it.It becomes a problem if people start believing in winning lotteries for their livelihood.

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?

Trading is a legit profession which pays even if the company goes bankrupt at some point.You go broke in gambling,you don't get the other amenities an organisation would offer for being a trader.

Another difference between trading and gambling is that in the long run in gambling, there is no way you can possibly win. The house edge prvents you from doing so, whilst in trading things are more unpredictable. In both cases you should never go all-in and put all your eggs in one basket, but there are times when trading can turn into gambling too. It really just depends on what type of action you take while trading for you to essentially be gambling your money away. Your emotions should never take the wheel in both trading and gambling, though the primary purpose of gambling is just to feel the rush and enjoy things, not to make money.
