Why gambling is portrayed negatively almost everywhere?

[avikz]

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.

I already mentioned several times in replies as well as in the main post that addiction to anything is not good. Be it alcohol, smoking, internet, porn, social media, smart phone, TV or gambling. If you spend 90% of your productive time in social media just by scrolling the newsfeed, it's not good. Similarly, if you are not able to manage your emotion while gambling, that is also not good. But it doesn't mean that, social media is bad or TV is bad. It's all OK up to a permissible limit. As an adult, it is your responsibility to decide your own limit. If you can't do that, it's your failure and certainly not the fault of social media. But you can't blame the social media industry because you couldn't control your emotion. Same goes for gambling industry as well.

Most of those opposes gambling in this position are those losers,the truth is they use to play gambling but didn't succeed on winning thats why throwing bad impressions towards betting is what they do now

On the other hand maybe they are just trying to clean their names but the truth is addicting in betting is what they are..and some for sure are "Gods"advocate so we all know what will happen lol.

Gambling is portrayed negatively by others is because gambling is very addictive that can lead to bankruptcy, increase usage of alcohol and cigarettes, increased rates of unemployment, and poor mental and physical health of a person. That is why if you want to gamble all you need is a self control while playing.

Wow you perfectly mentioned all of the baddest thing a gambling addict has,i hate to agree but its true that if we cant control ourselves from being hooked then were done.

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.

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.

It's the people choice what ever they think you can't please everybody to choose one sided they already grown with their own feet however they already knew the risk they facing in gambling since gambling is the only way they can easily earn or lose money , Those people who really greed in  wealth are big chances of loosing fast of there money too think of it everytime they gamble what they get?  Nothing just wasting time and money There are still people who believed in earning some other currencies and hodl them so far so good everything goes to perfect just be patience..

[naidray]

Addiction is only limited to gambling as people find it an easy way to earn money. also, people think that gambling is much more easier than trading because in gambling, the person having little or no knowledge of market can also win because market is of no use in gambling while in trading, it is of pretty much importance because if you will invest on a business which is already in loss, you will also face loss.

Yeah, those who are always addicted to gambling are usually the ones who tend to think they can make the best from it and they can easily get rich overnight with it and that is the psychology a lot of them would keep having which would always make having a casino a profitable venture for the owners.

Unless you grab a hold of yourself immediately, gambling has a way of using the greed side of you to get a full control of you and once that happens; breaking away from that control is usually hard. Due to the dangerous consequences of gambling, it is always portrayed negatively almost everywhere. In my opinion, it is not wrong.

Gambling is seen negatively because anyone knows at least one person that got his life torn apart because of his gambling addiction and that lost everything valuable to him ( family , job , social status , career , money .. ) because of gambling . It is also looked at as a sin in all the religions and whoever calls himself a religious person will be making bad noise about gambling a lot .. It's also a social taboo and people just can't admit their gambling in fear of what will people think about them ..
Yet everybody loves to follow big gamblers lives such as Dan Bilzerian and wish if they were like him .. I think world would be a better place  if people admit their deeds and stop being afraid of what the society will think about them such taboos (not only the gambling one , but abortion and many others .. ) .

[btcprospecter]

Gambling can cause some serious problems in society when it takes hold of people. Some lose everything and more.
It all comes down to self control and unfortunately some don't have that ability to stop before it causes them serious harm. We all have a thirst for becoming richer with very little work.

[ASHLIUSZ]

This is common, whether it is gambling or something else the negative side of the respective service easily gets widespread while the winnings won't be revealed most likely. Same time people who have lost is much higher than that of the winners marking gambling to be something a threat.

Trading(online, betting on currencies outcome, buying stock etc and not real trading of goods) is booming only lately while gambling is almost as old as humanity itself. The majority of people both lose in gambling and in trading but the trading companies are making huge marketing campaigns and brainwashing people that it is easy to make money trading online. Unfortunately as always brainwashing works wonders to many persons.

There is only one difference I think and that is of the profit and loss. Gambling is just about losing everything. Like you can understand this as a machine that takes input as money and produce output as wasted money. You can just expect a good output from gambling. Where on the contrary, trading is about earning money from little investments by use of skill and efforts put in the field.

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?

People reacted about gambling negatively because they noticed that addicted gambler has no limitations and doesn’t care anyone else even their family and loveones just to satisfy themselves by gambling too hard. Just like in addiction with alcohol and drugs. They become too selfish so others thinks that gambling has negative affects to people if you become addicted to it.

Trading is different from gambling because you trade for the will to earn profits, that is your goal. Though sometimes its risky most especially if the block market is not in proper shape but we know how to deal with the dump and pump surely we are going to avoid losses.

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?

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.

We have different description of what worst is and if you think that gambling is, it's your opinion then. But you may seem not to understand what's the real discussion here. It's not about the fortune, gambling platform, return or anything that's related to the outcome that you can get with gambling. But it's about on how the society thinks about gambling and it's already part of our generation and belief that gambling is bad, negative and everyone should stay away from it.

You have made people aware about gambling as it is a bad habit and you suggested everyone to stay away from it which is totally correct as gambling has no good end which people come to know at the later part of their lives. But this is not the need of this forum as they are asking here about the consequences of gambling here and in my opinion, gambling is bad because of worst ends.

Not everytime though! Gambling not always leads to worst end, if you know how to gamble responsibly, you will never see worst end out of gambling. There are people who have won millions of dollars from gambling, but the story doesn't end here. It can lead that individual in two ways after a million dollar winning.

First is that individual invests that money into other business and spend responsibly which can give that individual a very comfortable life. Second that individual invests that money into gambling again to win even bigger. So here is the difference between a responsible gambler and an addicted gambler.  I already mentioned in my earlier post, that no addiction is good. We all should know when to start and when to stop. If you have researched a little about gambling, you will see addicted gamblers usually ruin their life. But we also have good examples of people who have made their life amazing from a gambling win. So it entire depends on a individual on what to do with their life. Gambling business can't be held responsible.

The majority of people including me think that gambling is a worst thing and all the people should avoid themselves from gambling. When something is not welcomed how is it possible that it would be better for people. I think gambling and gamblers both are bad and they both are portrayed negatively in the society almost everywhere in the world.

No doubt that gambling is the worst thing one can do with his life because if it would have been a good thing then it would have been portrayed like a good thing everywhere but here people will start beating you if you will start promoting gambling to people so better stay away from this. If gambling is really a good thing, then prove us so that we can also enjoy our lives up to peaks.

What can we do with our thinking when something is actually the worst stuff in the world of games? We all are entirely correct about our perspective we developed regarding gambling. After witnessing many failure cases especially those in which players committed suicide at the end, this game is nothing less than a deadliest threat to not only wealth but life too. Better avoid it.

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..

Definitely due to its adverse effects and terrible outcomes, gambling is forbidden act in many countries and religions. Anything that has crystal clear negative impact on the wealth and health of citizens would never be promoted by any government. But it also depends on the individual. In this era of technology, it is very difficult to keep someone away from what he has planned to do so awareness is important.

the desire to earn money the easy way. Often work that has been cultivated with full of struggle to get unbalanced results with the number of needs that must be met. Therefore they live the dream in him that he will get a chance to achieve great results with a shortcut. That expectation is very strong in gamblers, although they realize that the likelihood of making a profit is very small, even when they know that they are harmed by that activity.

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.

[lionheart78]

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.

It is being considered as evil act not only in developing countries but almost every country. People don’t love those people who gamble. Although the percentage of gamblers is very low again that total population but still they exists so bigger. These people are continuously running their lives. They don’t want to make their lives better and healthier rather they prefer to be an evil person.

[Sithara007]

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.
