Why gambling is portrayed negatively almost everywhere?

[Thanasis]

most people after gambling get defeated and make trouble can by killing, stealing or others that become public order disturbed so that people think it is a negative thing activity.

But these thing are not going to happen in the online gambling then why still people think it as negative or sin to doThis is because many people lost their wealth because of betting blindly and getting addicted to it and lost their life so people keep saying that it is not a good thing to do.

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.

There are only a few cases where the gambling has been positive but in most cases all news concerning gambling have been negative so far with people losing their homes and losing their entire fortune.

It will happen because the end of gambling is always worst and a gambler goes in such debts that he even suicide or become criminal to pay his debts. Now you can understand why gambling is portrayed negatively everywhere in the world. Bad thing has bad consequences and the world is not in favor of such bad thing. In no society gambling is said to be good.

Sure, gambling was the activity that led them into what they ended up doing, but their own greed, crazy ass mentality and the fact they could not control themselves led them into such situation. Sure, gambling can be crazy and it has brought about people who ended up doing things they should not have done since there is this impulse that comes with it, but this mentality is just because some people believe they can just make money easily and get rich overnight with gambling. Really?

The victory resulting from gambling will not last long it will result in the destruction of individual characters and will ruin their lives, many ugly things are generated from gambles such as poverty, conflict, addiction, and many more.

Negative phase is really there in every investment when you go with the gambling investment you could find the more way to invest and take the returns successfully. I advice you to go with the sports betting alone for initial time. Because with the betting you can check the team's potential and then go to add bet for the team.
If you really care about not loosing the money then gambling is not your choice at all.

There are too many bad stories about the ultimate outcome of gambling addiction that has become a hereditary story. Whatever we do as long as we jump into the world of gambling, it will certainly be regarded as something that is not good and we must be aware of such facts. Maintaining the confidentiality of our habits from those closest to us may preserve the ill effects of gambling that we can receive from the public.

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. They never win permanently. Their greed becomes so strong that never let them grow.

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.  

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.

Come on people! In as much as I agree that gambling as really brought about some level of irresponsibility in some people based on their actions and has affected those around them because of their own stupid mistake and mentality about gambling, it does not necessarily mean that every crime or criminal activities should be associated with it.

You just made gambling or casinos to sound more like the devil's workshop. It is portrayed negatively just because people lose a lot of money at the end because like I said, they were simply stupid.

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?

We all know that we can earn money from gambling in an easy way but gambling is not always about winning, it also about losing money if we cannot control ourselves to it. It is the reason why gambling is portrayed negatively. Most people who start thread / topic about gambling are the people who lose in gambling. I think you'll understand it more when you experience losing a big amount of money.

I don’t think that I can earn money easily for gambling because if it is really true, then all the gamblers that are playing gambling would have been millionaires and billionaires of the world but as far as my knowledge is concerned, I don’t used to remember any of the gamblers in this list. Also, even if we earn a little bit from it, this money is borrowed and we have to return back someday.

It is destructing individuals and it is damaging the societies where humans live. This gambling has been a destructive element of our society and unfortunately, even being illegalized in so many countries, still people are gambling at different levels. There isn’t much strong recovery or establishment policies for implementing such laws that prohibits people to not to go for gambling.

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.

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

Because gambling is negative thing in almost all societies of the world. There is no community who say positive about gambling. Gambler has no respect in the community and even in his home. If we look the result of gambling it always ends in worse and a gambler lose all his money and even his business and properties. These are the reasons that gambling is portrayed negatively in the world.

I think you didn’t read the thread carefully. They are saying you that why gambling is portrayed negatively almost everywhere and you are giving totally irrelevant answer to that question by saying his that because gambling is a bad thing almost in all societies of the world. I personally think gambling a bad thing because the person has to suffer a lot just because of it and bad consequences at the end.

lol you are going way over the top there.   Alcohol is legal most places yet is a form of poison and dehydrates a person in even small amounts, yet society continues anyway and derives some benefits.  Gambling is part of life because everyone must take risks in what they do , this part is normal.    To have a gambling industry for sport or entertainment is not destructive, there is no certain conclusion there.

The main deal is not to anything to excess, alcohol, gambling even food can be a negative if you develop negative habits.   All in moderation are fine to take part in.

These bad stories come from those who lost their money and has affected their lifes badly like losing their properties and other assets. This has ruined other people’s lives because it sometimes come to a point where people go bankrupt and lose their homes because of gambling. It has long been an assumption that gambling is bad because of the risk of losing lots of money, so it cannot be avoided.

Frankly, a lot people willing to do bad things for gambling when they are already addicted. It can be small crime or even the big one. The effect of gambling proved bad for most people and that is why, in many places, gambling got its bad name.

The effect is actually a very huge one on most gamblers and most especially those who find it pretty hard to even control themselves. Gambling comes with some huge impulses that would either play with your head and emotions and once you allow that, you are more like controlled rather than you controlling the situations. With this happening to most of the people who try to gamble, it is sure going to be perceived negative forever.

Because in some other places from the start gambling is considered a crime and not a good example to others gambling can ruin your life, your own family many people believe they can earn fast in gambling but the truth is they are making casino owners the real rich and not the gamblers.

That perception never change since then. Gambling is negative to many people who suffered and sacrificing of gambling addiction. It is a habit wherein a member has no more time for his/her family and worst thing on this children are suffering with the said vices. Family and relationship are in danger with gambling. That is the reason why it is portray negatively except those who make gambling for profit and never forget their obligations to their love ones.

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.

I think that is the reason, so they considered gambling is a sin, in other religion they have their beliefs. But it depends to the people if how they manage their self when they gamble. Many people think that its an easy money, but if they don't control their self they lose so they can think negative for that. But the truth is that gambling is for fun only and pastimes.

[bratko99]

Well, probably because on the long term you will lose money.
You can't win to someone that organize the game. That is just it. So, the people that know this, just make it negatively by talking.

Many people gamble, but all the bad ends of gambling addiction are well known, that's the main reason why people think negatively of gambling. Just like about drugs, let's be real, many people and our loved celebrities sit on drugs, but all negative of people who became addicted and died or killed somebody are on talk.

Everything can be done into moderation, but in this case it was portrayed negatively was due to an abusive actions. Same with drugs involved in mankind, not just with celebrities but the effect to humanity really kills anybody including their potential brighter futures. The addiction of gambling here couldn't be controlled if a person has no self control over his/her psychological aspects.

Those people has a power to control their emotions but they were feed up by their ego and totally lost control of themselves. Once an addiction hit you it is too hard to remove it but if you do have a strong personality you can easily control your ego and emotions without an ease. Addiction really brings bad image to almost everything even in gambling.
