Why gambling is portrayed negatively almost everywhere?

[Granxis]

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 we can't blame people if they think negatively about it since in reality, addiction to gambling really ruined lives and families already. Yeah it's the person's attitude but gambling is accessible pretty much anywhere for anyone and it draws people to it.

[semobo]

Because lot of people are getting addicted to the gambling and losing their money without having any control while betting then later they consider gambling causes them to become poor in short time and they will keep spreading wrong information about gambling.And other reason might be religious,in some religion the gambling is consider as sin so many people portray it as negative thing to do.

If we see something is dangerous for us, definitely we will call it dangerous. If we observe fire burning stuff, we cannot deny this reality. Similarly, gambling ruins life of a gambler, how can we deny what we have learnt and witnessed? Indeed, this game damages wealth of its player in the worst way. The most amazing part is, gamblers realize this bitter truth after ages of playing when there is no way of going back.

[Lazada]

Of course gambling is shown negatively because gambling games do not have any benefit and do not produce anything so it can be said that gambling is useless. So do not ever try to play gambling because it will only make our lives in vain. Gambling games will make us addicted and with no results we get, so everyone has known that gambling is a bad thing and can destroy our lives.

You just took the words out of my mouth. I have come to realize that most people who term gambling as a negatively are the ones whom have being once addicted to it or have had family members who have been addicted before. You never can blame them because as it is said, experience is always a perfect teachers'. And while some religions regard it as sins is because, they are concerned as sins which can lead one to another sins.

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 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.

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 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 viewed more positively as it creates a market and has a society benefit to providing active prices for goods.  Sometimes that price is available day or night for any type of holding, it knocks onto the investment and innovation in a country possibly.
Also most obviously, alot of governments are in giant amounts of debt.  That debt has to be serviced and supplied by a market and with many traders requires to actively give pricing for both buys and sells at the needs of anyone with capital to invest.

So there is a large bias to finance in many countries due to this need.   Gambling can actually be part of that eco system by providing tax revenue so I dont know it should be viewed negatively, at least as far as government revenues is concerned.   

Quite a few people over gamble, take too much risk.  Again I think this is bad in finance terms and leads to bad markets and obviously in gambling its not a good scenario either and its possible to lose control.   I dont view any gambler negatively if they stay on top of things and are able to take time out when needed.

most people see gambling as a negative activity because they think someone who plays gambling can easily make a profit instantly and some people are willing to take a risk by risking all their possessions for luck, some even losing their property and going bankrupt, although some people always win in gambling so they can become rich. different from trading, in a trade one must have capital to make a profit. but trade also has risks to be faced, and trading is seen as a positive activity because trade has become familiar in real life even trade can be used as a daily work by most people who wrestle in this field.

And for this reason only, I think this gambling could never be called as good game worldwide. When you ask why this is portrayed negatively all around the world, so the simple answer comes in mind. When you are doing wrong how you can expect it to be called as good action.

Likewise, gambling has been a source of destruction for hundreds and thousands of people so it shouldn’t be called in good words.

Actually, gambling is not a bad or wrong thing until or unless you are playing it for fun but when you start playing it for earning bigger amounts, then it becomes something that can’t be entertained by your family members also. You will find no best games other than the games present in gambling but due to bad acts of people related with these games, they are portrayed negatively.

Of course sometimes I think that gambling is not good and the gambler has not respect in society. I should quit gambling because it is the destruction of money and self-respect. But after all thinking I didn’t able to quit gamble because of the addiction of gambling. The result of gambling always ends in debts and no one can take winnings with himself.

A gambler's consequence is like that, there is no gambler that culminates with ingratiating. They win the game and then spend it with a moment. The consequences of being left by the family and ostracized by society are a threat to every gambler. But you can fight all those threats if you are able to manage your gambling strategy and your economic strategy. Forget about greed, and if you've won gambling you can make an investment for your future when bored to gamble. Yeah, I'm sure someday we get bored and leave everything about gambling.

[jakagintiri]

because in the view of some people playing gambling only more losses in the appeal of his profits and often cause many problems, not a few people who play gambling into a depression and suicide and there is also a fight to kill in the consequences of gambling, that's why some people brand gambling is negative.

Gambling is negative because it can lead to addiction and financial crisis. The most affected persons are mostly the immediate family of the gambler. It is considered a bad habbit because it will take your time away from your family. Not just time but also attention. A gambler addict usually become uncontrollable and would eventually disregard the most important things in life like the family.

[Supercrypt]

Maybe it is because of the norm and culture of the people. If you are a gambler you are portrayed as a bad people. Movies play a major role on portraying a gambler because all gamblers that are in the movies are bad people.

Let's even leave norm and culture aside. Gambling has never really been able to bring something tangible to the society expect some pretty crazy negative stuffs. If we really look at our environment today, a lot of people have turned to addicted gamblers; some families have been affected and so on and so forth.

Yes, we cannot completely blame gambling as each individual is to be blamed since a lot of people are just so greedy that they look for what they obviously would not be able to find from gambling and it affects them really bad but at the end, it affects almost everyone who is into it, so what else should be expected than attributing negativity to it?

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.

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.

Except someone who is just so lucky enough to hit it big and not look back to end up gambling it all away, I have never really seen someone who has been gambling and could really come out to say after a very long period that they have been consistently winning more than they have been losing.

Unless we really want to deceive ourselves, the mindset a lot of people have towards gambling is why they have gotten addicted and the main reason why gambling is classified and portrayed negatively everywhere. Looking at most of the people who have been gambling away their life, how do they always end up turning out ?
