I think gambling already created a stigma as a bad thing to do and it can make anyone broke. Gambling addiction will not do any good unless you will be a professional like those poker players who were earning nearly millions of dollars even if they didn't win the tournament. I will never recommend gambling to anyone because I know how it is to be a gambling addict. It will never be a good experience.
Yes mate. If anyone say the word gambling it always comes with the negative effect of what it can give to people who was a gambler since there are lots of cases that a gambler became broke due to its addiction though proffessional gamblers are the lucky ones who can earn win or lose in a tornaments which are very few and selected individual amongst those millions of gamblers around the globe. Lucky for me i was not an addicted gambler eventhough i gamble occasionally.

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 also not easy. It also requires experience, skills and tricks to be a successful gambler. In my opinion the easiest thing is investment. If you have money invest it in bitcoin and hold for some time and you will make handsome money while doing exactly nothing except waiting. There is no need for experience, skills and anything else.

Yes gambling is portrayed negatively because it is having harmful effects on the community. I agree trading is also somewhat like gambling and can be called educated gambling. But there’s much difference. The amount we invest for trading is used for some productive purpose whereas in gambling only games of chance are played for money. Gamblers get addicted to it as it involves earning money quite easily but in trading a person has to do research and analysis. Gambling is actually a social taboo.
Really mate!! I can take your argument for dice and slot games where the winnings are based on pure luck, but do you know what poker or blackjack is? Or what sports betting is? Do you know the amount of research and calculations these games require? But I like it when you say "Gambling is actually a social taboo". Yes, it is! And that's what I am trying to break, at least within this community!

I think confidence matter more than self-control because if the gambler will play with confidence, he would easily tackle the situations that will open to him from his opponent unlike when he is in the lowest level of his confidence. When this will be his situation, he will make very silly moves because his mind at that time wouldn’t be able to tackle any situation and definitely will lose the game.

I don't see any benefits of gambling aside from entertainment and fun. Aside from that, there are more consequences that you need to face like gambling addiction, Lose of money and probably lost of funds, family and assets. Gambling has been portrayed negatively because many people are losing here and they are saying negatives things to anybody. People who lose in gambling will share bad experiences if they lose then the DOMINO EFFECT will happen. More and more will say negatives to gambling that is why it has been portrayed negatively.
It is that entertainment and fun that so many people have overlooked and since there is actually the possibility of winning a huge amount, they tend to focus more on that. Those who are actually gambling just to go have some little fun and end up paying for the fun, will never look at the aspect of winning much and if they do, they will know when to stop. I go to casino with just so little I would not even feel and most times, I have two ways of stopping which is when I have finished what I have on me, or when time is up, but so many people will just want to spend their entire life in a casino like it depends on it.

Most of the people came into the gambling to earn money without doing any work but they forgot that only few people can earn here and others lost their money.So the people who continuously losing their money will end of losing their life too so which is a bad thing in the eyes of community but it is the gamblers fault not the gambling's fault.

I think people portray gambling as a negative thing because of experiences they probably had encountered or maybe one of their close friends or family had been into gambling and nothing good came out of it, and so they generalize the thought that when they hear the word "gambling" it automatically makes them think it is not good.

See gambling is there in every single part of our life the only difference is this is direct and others are indirect. A The reason why people hate gambling is because it provided quick money for many , but this quick money comes with a lot of risk and that risk is what gives people that mindset. This is a type of topic that everyone will have different mindset but if you gamble the right way there is no harm and there is profit

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?
Oh I believe that trading and gambling are not really that different when it comes to average people doing that. In fact, in trading, the edge is on large financial institutions that can perform very fast and low commission trades, and they can earn money by being the first to put a given trade. By the time average Joe can make his trade, they may be out with profit. In gambling the edge is on a casino. That makes average people trying to do trading or gambling participants in a negative sum game (they are bound to lose money long term). And this is why people who gamble a lot are portrayed negatively. They always lose money long term, and sometimes they lsoe their family houses or money for the future of their kids.

The best way to put that is simply because some people bet WAY MORE then they are willing to lose, if you just put a small percent back that doesn't hurt your finances, I do not see a problem!!!
Control is the key!
in my opinion, any act or substance that harms humans beings in any way whether mentally, physical, emotionally or financially comes under the prohibited category. Gambling has ruined lives of thousands of players and yet many are destined to meet the same end. It is very obvious to portray this negatively so that people will stay away from it and this is best in their own interests. This game can turn life of a gambler into a living hell within a blink of an eye. But whatever people say, this is wrong so it is wrong. No one can make this better by saying anything about it. We all know these gamblers are just earning money that is virtual. They even don’t know how is winning their money. They spend everything in gambling and at the end of day, they just become zero. They never win permanently. Their greed becomes so strong that never let them grow.

Thats BS, it doesnt have to lead to certain addiction. The important thing is to vary habits not continually repeat. So anything can become a negative, like drinking can be fine with a meal or can lead to addiction. Even plain food by itself can become unhealthy if people fail to moderate themselves. Its not just gambling, any part of life can overly negative if left un-adjusted. But whatever people say, this is wrong so it is wrong. No one can make this better by saying anything about it. We all know these gamblers are just earning money that is virtual. They even don’t know how is winning their money. They spend everything in gambling and at the end of day, they just become zero.

This seems to be stating absolutes as a certainty. It is possible to retain some earnings and only gamble part of the winnings. Some do gain from a method of careful controlled risk and formal gameplay. Most of us arent that disciplined and we do not profit, I also think some manage to pull it off.

Yes,that's the reason why people has a negative perspective of gambling.They consider it as a bad habit or vices which sometimes destroy family relationship.If the person involved in this kind of habit she/he may consider many risk of lossing not just money but a good family ties.Always put limitations to everything.

You need to stay away from any such activity as there is nothing good which you can get.

Gambling is not a way of making money but sadly, majority does not understand this fact. If have never hated greed as far as the person is choosing the right way of fulfilling this. If he works hard and spends sleepless night in order to gain money, fame and respect, there is nothing wrong with it. Besides, it is impossible to become a rich person without having love for such a life. All of us are greedy but not stupid to choose gambling for this.

Having negative perspective about gambling is a good thing as far as my knowledge is concerned because it will help you to stay away from gambling as far as possible and you will be successful in saving yourself from disastrous ends of life. People have a negative impact of gambling because really destroys the lives of the people who become addicted to it.

Yeah and it is the main issue of gambling that it creates many other crimes like you mentioned here. Gambler is the mother of crimes and criminals. Gamblers can do any illegal activity to make money for gambling addiction. The main reason for negative treat is this worse creation. When there is no gambling there will be no or less crimes in the community.

maybe we can read on the news or watching television that said people become stress because of gambling, some of them kill themselves because they cannot pay the money that they borrowed from someone because he is losing much money on gambling. but this is not just for gambling, I mean this could happen with the other things too. but gambling has been a bad habit that has a negative comment and many people try to avoid from the gambling itself.

This is the case, definitely. Once the root of something is evil how you can think of the upper body being an angel? No, absolutely not. The thing is, people from all over the world knows and their unanimous decision was to ban this gambling in every country. Since then some governments took decision and banned gambling while others still didn’t and people are continuously getting ruined there.
