Why gambling is portrayed negatively almost everywhere?

[denny27]

Any view that's directed at the gambling of each people, of course., they also adjusting to their respective circumstances and also the environment in which they live.
Basically, I think it because gambling more lead to the drawing of fortunes/lucky only that's not based on other things besides luck until most people say that it is a negative thing that should be avoided and that it can also be related to the religion's rules.
Well., for me personally, it nothing's wrong.. just shouldn't feel too addict on it till very dependent on it without thinking about many other things and just focused on gambling only.

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 due to the many instances of less favorable cases of gambling activity. Many people who go bankrupt and take actions that are considered bad that impact on others including committing crimes in order to smooth their gambling activities. This image has been awakened since a long time and will be difficult to change.

Why not to claim a thing bad if it is really bad for us. Gambling have same scenario, this is bad game for everyone so we are calling it bad every time. You are absolutely right that low favorable cases for the gambling to win is the main reason behind its being harmful. People come and play and mostly they just lose everything, so ultimate verdict for this gambling comes out as fatal.

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.

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.

Indeed,  it is a game that sometimes (or always?) leads to addiction. The op said something about trading industry seems like he misunderstood something, trading is a serious but not addicting legal way of earning money unlike in the gambling that purely depends on the player's ability to ace the game and its luck.

First of all I don't think that lucky is the absolute determinant of success in gambling,I say this because  I have a little  experience in this sphere and I know that there are too many gambling businesses which work with dishonest schemes,They are trying to do everything bad for their own well-being and at the same time relevant structures don't control them because of their interests.
In essence, gambling has a dubious similarity,but I think they are very different things,because of ideas behind them.The principle of earning funds is very different too,Because when you are trading you can use economists theories,strategies,You can also create your own,successful strategy to achieve special goals,But In my opinion in gambling there are no things like that,If I'm wrong sorry but its obvious for me.

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.

Alcohol can kill right away that's true, but I wouldn't say the same about cigarettes. Cigarettes are supposedly killing you when you chronically smoke them during a long period of time. Same with gambling, if you constantly abuse it you may be deprived of all your money and even go in debt which can potentially kill you. Not only gambling, cigarettes and alcohol have a bad reputation, there are other things, overeating for example, which is also killing you if you abuse it. In short, gambling is not so bad if it is not abused, and btw it is portrayed positively in many books and movies.

Obviously it is because of its bad reputation, everyone is having a hard time to pull something off in gambling, they are losing most of the time, and you can't blame them if they treat gambling as a game that you should avoid because it is too dangerous. Maybe you are asking question like that because you are lucky in gambling that is why you are supporting it in your own way.

And answering your question on why Trading is seen as a good way of making money unlike gambling, well it is because the money that you are going to risk in Trading is the money that you are going to manage, unlike the money you are risking in gambling which you don't have any potential on controlling it because that is how it works.

Alcohol is also can't kill someone if he consumes it one or two time,but cigarette is more worse it directly affects the lung the single puff can decrease our life time by five minutes.But these are affecting the health but gambling affects the health mentally by over doing them and will cause addiction.But in some religion also it was considered as sin so this maybe a reason that group of people saying it is a bad thing to do.

In that some religion alcohol and gambling also being consider as a sin. It is completely waste of time to invested our hard earned money to shit gambling website. In the final day we will never have returns if you invested on the gambling site.
I advice you to go with the trading instead of wasting your money on gambling this is also the interesting platform to make the money.

[Stedsm]

Superb explanation, +1 for how you made everyone rethink over their thinking about gambling.
I believe that there's nothing wrong in gambling, but chances of losing in gambling at a sudden pace are much more compared to trading.
Trading has a stop loss advantage, gambling doesn't. Both are good, both are bad.
Trading and gambling should both be done under the same rules - NO ADDICTION POLICY. We should only gamble/trade that we can afford to lose, and there's nothing wrong in doing both of these (until someone develops some amount of guilt over their decisions in case they lose).

Agree with it,no addiction policy is what everyone need to follow either in gambling or trading but both involves luck too.People won't have any gui;t as long as they are making money even it is a sin in their religion so it all based on money but some people covering their inability to do them with religion.

Mostly where are you going  all over the world gambling is portrayed or criticize like a sin and we cannot put off that  in the mind of every people,because since from the beginning,gambling is a great sin and can make  people turn to indebtiness,therefore if you are a gambler  people will judge you according to your personal habits and behavior and not you being as "persona" or a human.

Right.They all go with same effects in the end.Addiction is considered the main root of all these negative habits.Gambling may be found legal in most of the countries since its main goal is for entertainment only.But people chose to overestimate it and leads to addiction.From there negative results will follow once it will not be avoided as early as possible.

[cfif123]

because gambling is seen as a bad job and can harm ourselves of course. because the gambling is banned by religion and the country so wherever the gambling is certainly in a negative view in any country

It's hard to implement that No Addiction Policy as we can't always monitor gamblers and if we will just rely on their selves we will never know if they're following because at the end of the day no one can stop them from getting hook to it but only their selves.

Gambling always portrait as negative because on how people waste their money to gamble and sometimes even their personal lives get compromise with this.

Too bad this meaningful discussion has derailed to Alcohol and cigarettes.I don't know what's your point here but I know for sure ALCOHOL don't kill right away.Never heard of someone chucking 2 pegs of vodka and suffocating to death.Did you ?

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.

For identifying gambling as a useless and destructive act, a person does not need to be a believer of some religion. Anyone with common sense like you can tell that this is not a game worthy of time or money. Moreover, it is not like people follow everything that their religion says. Humans are weak at controlling their desires and we are mostly slave of them. That is the only reason why people gamble.

The essence of this problem is an addiction, trading and gambling will be wrong if excessive. Because it will cause greed and greed will make miserable. Trading with strategy will not be wrong, and gambling with reasons for fun will not go wrong. Cigarettes and alcohol will be wrong too if, with addiction, no doctor advise to smoke and drink alcohol with addiction.

You're right.However psychology has completely a different way of looking at it.Desire is just a fancy name given to a passive addiction.When think of whatever you desire of,your brain secrets the dopamine and then the chemicals give you that happy feeling for seconds.In reality,the one's who have control over these emotions can tackle any addiction before they fall victim to it.Others get used to this chemical secretion and follow it until they let their life dwell on it.

[Qartersa]

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.

Yes I did. I thought everyone knows that alcohol causes death, and in some cases immediately. According to info by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention an estimated 88,000 people die from alcohol-related causes annually in the United States alone. And according to the World Health Organization's info in 2012, 3.3 million deaths were attributable to alcohol consumption. Of course more than 99% of those deaths didn't happen right after consumption but some of them did. Also I'm not sure I understand what are trying to say. Do you mean that gambling is worse than alcohol or or what is your point?
