Why gambling is portrayed negatively almost everywhere?

[bitzizzix]

Because gambling games can be self-destructive, and the very thing stupidly gambles our money to gamble because it's not good and will lose it all.
and gambling will cause addiction and emotions will increase if always lose and that is a negative thing for us. and victory in gambling is just a matter of luck and will end in defeat as well.

and the fact that more people be poor than people get rich because of gambling. in additions, too many negative effects, such as addiction, being poor, became petulant and can't control their emotions because too often lose a lot of money. and for me, even gambling has no positive effect other than a momentary win.

You are talking about the effects of gambling and it's because of the irresponsible way of playing/gambling but if the gambler is responsible, he won't end up becoming poor.

That's the misconception that the society is thinking and they are connecting the dots of gambling because they only see those gamblers that are losing their money.

[neonshium]

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.

No doubt gambling has worst ends than the person can think off and almost all of the gamblers are aware of this fact but still they are not willing to leave gambling for good. They just have the mindset that we can earn a lot of money from this gambling and one day will become rich which also is wrong because they didn’t have heard the stories of deadly ends of gambling.

No doubt in your saying as every single gambler who comes to the field for gambling is well aware of this fact that gambling can never produce good results at the end but he pretends to be unaware of that in order to save himself from people’s sayings. I think they have made it as a source of income that’s why they are not willing to quit gambling for good.

What a big blunder they commit by coming to gambling even when they are well aware about the consequences of gambling. I think very good happens to them when they face the consequences at the end because they alone are responsible for this doing and I think no one should help him so that he can get a lesson in his life foe a better future.

Gambling is illegal in many countries and gambling is also banned in almost all religions. And one more thing, many bad case examples resulting from gambling activities. The things mentioned above have been formed for so long in the minds of many people. So don't be surprised if the gambling is portrayed negatively almost everywhere.

[xandra]

it is portrayed negatively almost everywhere because many lives are ruin through gambling, many people get addicted to it specially when they can get money. I think gambling was made  for having a good time but the mis used of it is tge one of the reason why it become bad or negative.

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?

You are right , but not everyone can understand this thing in such a simple way . In the starting when I never participated in gambling game than at that time I was always thinking that it is a type of scam because I played game of gambling in another way ( simple high low bet games at frebitco.in with very small amount of money ) because my understanding Always saying that there is a type of the probability scam of high loss and less winning .
But when i comes to know about sports gambling system to make real life based gambling , then I realised that gambling is really a cool and better thing and we should not think that gambling is bad in any way and we should enjoy in better ways but with that we should have limitations , because if we will play without limitations then surely we will loss the whole a amount of money .

because people judge gamblers to be stupid people, why they risk their money to gamble, which sometimes can make all the money lost, and people think why they do not use money for investment or other business. so for good, gambling will be called a negative thing.

Actually many people when get addicted to gambling they do not think for their family and they spend all of their money in gambling that is why when someone is involved in gambling then people think that they may addict so they think of it as negative.

People don’t judge gamblers as stupid instead of they think about them that they are stupid because they are promoting something which is dangerous for their lives and also for the lives of the people who are attached to them. Gambling is a negative thing when it is being played for fun but it playing as a source of fun is something which can’t be opposed.

You are absolutely right. People have got mind and they are educated as well. They can differentiate between good and bad on basis of facts and figures. Every educated person know the reality of gambling and its effect on everyone. Why those who gamble don’t just see it? They are blind and deaf and dumb as well. They want to close their eyes from realities, but reality can’t just change.

I agree with you because gambling is also banned in my country and I am very glad to have such a country rather than hating my government that why they have banned gambling in my country. I am glad that they are thinking about their people first. I also agree with you that it is also hated in almost all religions because every religion gives priority to humanity.

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.

Yeah the ending results are so obvious. There have been so hundreds and thousands of gamblers who came rich and gone poor. There are only few, so few lucky stories where if someone have got into gambling and leaves it being a rich person. Because that is all based on luck and no one would be able to make luck accompany you every other day. So leave it.

Gambling is the only thing in which you can make true predictions before the game starts because it all depends upon the motivation of the player and everyone can easily see and point out which gambler seems to be more motivated and which one is not. Gambling has made many people poor who were once rich in their lives and this story will continue till the end of this planet.   

Motivation does not have anything to do with gambling and I felt you even contradicted yourself in a way. Being motivated to do something means you expect a good outcome from it, but in reality, you should not even expect that from gambling at all, but count on your luck to do it for you and if it does not, just accept your fate and loss, then, move on which is usually the hardest part for a lot of gamblers as the impulse just wants them to continue believing there could still be a chance to win it all back and this brings about a negative situation for them in the end.

It could possibly be a root for greed, everyone's greedy and one way or another and oftentimes some people would go addicted to Winning, not gambling in general, and it could have negative effect on people's mindset.
Of course it could very well be someone's stable source of income, then again not everyone's the same.
It is within societal mores that gambling feeds greed and that's bad.

I'd say gambling is okay, but it's not for everyone. 

I agree with you. It is not the gambling itself that are bad but the people who doesn’t know how to be a reponsible gambler. The greediness to have an easy money and think that they can earn that quick by gambling until they became addicted and there goes the negative effect of being a gambler. So others who are not into gambling doesn’t understang that and always blame it to gambling and not to the greedy gamblers.

Actually many people when get addicted to gambling they do not think for their family and they spend all of their money in gambling that is why when someone is involved in gambling then people think that they may addict so they think of it as negative.

From what you are saying, it is like that you are saying that the gambler are the one who is think of negatively and not Gambling. Well you have a point but you did not explained it correctly. Gambling earned a lot of money from a lot of addicted gamblers all over the world. Most of them lost more than they had won, they think gambling will give you a fortune but they don't. These are the thoughts of most of the gamblers and what other people think is that gambling will make us lose our money and we have no chance of winning it the reason they view it negatively.

It depends on what is "everywhere" for you. I enjoy watching movies and I haven't noticed that it would be right to say that gambling is portrayed negatively in movies. I'll list just some of the movies where gambling is portrayed like something what cool guys do. Those movies are: Casino (1995), Ocean's Eleven (2001), High Roller: The Stu Ungar Story (2003), 21 (2008), Casino Royale (2006), Ocean's Thirteen (2007),  All In (2006) and many others. I'm not saying that's necessarily a good thing though. Some people become gambling addicts after watching those movies, but on the other hand there are kinds of people who tend to try what is portrayed negatively by mainstream media, so which info creates more gambling addicts remains unknown.

Because there are some gamblers who have taken huge loans in order to fund their gambling addiction and when they lost away all these funds, it will usually create a lot of stress and problems for him and his family member if he is unable to repay the loan, and that might be one of the reason gambling is portrayed as negatively.

[BlackPanda]

In fact it is a thing that can not be eliminated, the picture of many people to gambling is always negative. This is because in fact that gambling has many adverse impacts on our lives. but back again that the opinions of various people will be different. Personally I say that does not suggest to play gambling. Believe that we can do much better and benefit to make our future better.

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.

Not always, there has been cases in past of people starting act in a different way and they do start assaulting others but as i said it's very few of them. The main reason is the mentality of the people they feel that any money earned from gambling means it doesn't involve any hard work and the money is not clean from sin

both of you guys were correct but i think that itll still also depend on each person because some people will think that gamblings isnt bad but rather beneficial because gambling can provide them a different kind of excitement and enjoyment. in short gambling can be thier past time whenever they get bored. thats why gambling isnt always portrayed to be negative or bad everywhere because there were still people who loves to play it.


those people that claims gambling is bad are only a butt hurt or a looser because they cant accept their losses , they didnt also know the real meaning of gambling.

[coinfinger]

Gambling is portrayed negatively because it can affect someone's life in a bad way like putting all your time in gambling instead of spending it with your family and you will also spend your hard earned money in gambling until you go broke. These characters are the effects when you get addicted in gambling.

I totally agree with you. Most of the gamblers lose almost everything in gambling and they do not think of their family future. They rein their lives and finally they go in debts. Other bad thing is that a gambler has no respect in society. These are the factors that gambling is treated negatively in the world and nobody is in favor of regular gambling.
