Why gambling is portrayed negatively almost everywhere?

[newwest]

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.

This is one of the reasons that due to greed they do not even realize how amount they have being losing in the bets and still they will keep gambling looking at others they have won so sometime even they will won it. Thus few countries have this banned and do not encourage it.

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.

I could agree with you, there are mainly 2 reasons why someone hates gambling one is as you said they over gamble, lose and then start crying around and other reason is mentality. Many people belive in stupid beliefs and think everything written in that is correct and if they do anything outside it it is clearly a sin

[logicgate]

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.

  When the person is motivated, I think he doesn’t even thinks about the results of that thing which he had a fever of, just he want to do is to achieve that thing even if has to sacrifice everything for it. That’s why we say that he was much motivated to do that thing and when such a motivation is present in someone, the results are always positive.

These characters are the effects when you get addicted in gambling.

Gambling has negative vibes. There is no wise persons on this globe who once call this gambling a good source of income or entertainment. That is why it is presented as detrimental throughout the world. There are promotions who are working over the edge just to let others know how badly this gambling could affect you. So better is to make yourself distant from you, have a good life.

Right, the entertainment part most of the time is actually more like a consolation for those who may be looking for a way to control themselves but if we really want to face the hard truth, it is hard to see gambling as an entertainment without the mindset of wanting to at least win but the ability to now control the impulse makes it count.

Nevertheless, it is obvious a lot of people find that hard to do, so it is best to stay away if you know you have no control than to even think of giving it a try. Knowing all the dangers of gambling well and even after those awareness testing it for fun is the big mistakes most gamblers do.

Trading is generally buying low and selling high. It's mathematical and logical. Gambling is just random chance (especially when it comes to games like slots, roulette and craps), and many people think it's a way to make money, but in the process end up losing much more than they thought possible.

[aTriz]

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.

In my opinion, trading and gambling both are the travelers of same boat and the only difference they have is that how these two things are conducted. I think people like to go with trading instead of gambling due to its bad reputation outside the world. We can easily see that the people who play gambling are how treated in the society. No one even wants to talk to them.

The bad thing in gambling is that gambler cannot control themselves. They continue until they lose everything. When a gambler lose all his money and even goes in debts then he tries to make some money to gamble again and win his lost money back and for that he can do any illegal activity even he become killer. Gambling creates more crimes that why it is treated negatively.

You are wrong because if once you become addicted then there will be no finance and you will lose everything. Don’t betray yourself that you will never become a gambling addict. I was also thinking before starting smoking 20 years ago and now I cannot quit smoking because I am addicted of smoking. The same is here in gambling, it is also like drugs addiction.

Once you become addicted to something then it really become difficult to quit, you will unwillingly continue. Even if you want to quit you will not find it so easy to quit, it will require a lot of hard work and you self control, otherwise you may not succeeded in quiting you addicted activities. Same is the case in gambling where once you will become addicted then will find it more hard to quit gambling forever.

[naidray]

Almost all type of gamblers don’t know how to control their emotions and how to control themselves and they continue to gamble until they get themselves completely destroyed in the process and yes it is like a drug because many people get addicted to it, they destroy themselves and then they have no idea what to do with their condition. In this way gambling becomes a curse for gamblers and that’s why portrayed negatively in the world.

Controlling emotions or the impulses that comes with gambling is usually the hardest part of it all and for those who can; it makes it easy for them to face the reality when it comes to gambling while those who cannot are the ones who end up bringing up the negativity that surrounds gambling to them. With this, a lot of people are usually in the last category and that is one reason that makes gambling to be portrayed negative everywhere.

Same is the case in gambling where once you will become addicted then will find it more hard to quit gambling forever.

Then what will be the wrong in portraying gambling as a negative thing everywhere. Addiction causer cannot tolerated at any cost. Gambling should be avoided hence portraying it as a negative one is most welcome action.

For me gambling is the worst thing in this world so I will always be against gambling. There are many bad consequences of gambling like, suicide, losing all your money, no respect, become criminal and much more. That’s why people portrayed gambling negatively all over the world. Nobody think that gambling is good and should be a part of life.

[Roboabhishek]

You can't blame gambling without any experience. I ask from you ever played gambling for earning money ?. Every people give there own advise, but instead of believing them we should try it first. I my self-play gaming and make easy money from it. It's not a negative way it an easy, fast and quick way to fill your wallet with bitcoins. But its all depends on your hard working and penitence

[Findingnemo]

Maybe because of their religion,in that they have consider gambling is a sin thing to do so they want others also to move away from the gambling.But gambling can be good or bad that how we are using them the negativity keeps increasing because most of the players getting addicted to gambling and lost their lives.

[Bookmaker.info]

It's mainly because of the bad cases (people losing their money, houses , lives ). If people are not careful they could go on the downward spiral and get out of hand really fast, which can ruin their lives, family etc. It's looked more of a disease than an actual way of making money. For example poker players are not looked down on (in most countries) because other than luck, it involves other skills like psychology, maths and so on. And in other games like slots, roulette etc. it's 100% luck and it's considered seeking the easy way to make money without any effort. As I said, it's not the gambling itself but the community that brings the bad name.

[bitzizzix]

Yes, for that reason it can be self-destructive because gambling can make you lose everything and can also make you fall into poverty.
Victory in gambling is just a matter of luck only and in the end you will still end up with defeat as well, and gambling will make you become addicted and there are still many bad or negative sides if you keep playing gambling.

[SolomonSollarsNSense]

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 excuses for bad thing that if you do this and that then there is no problem. Bad is bad and our thoughts and statements can never that thing credible in society. Almost every country thinks that gambling is bad thing and that’s why many countries do not allow gambling openly. There are no casinos and other places for gambling and my country is one of them.

Of course no excuses for bad thing and gambling are a bad thing and the end of gambler is worst. It is not about the time but also their right that a gambler should fulfill their needs first. In my opinion gambler is the idle man in this world and they can only gamble and can do nothing for the betterment of their family and thus they face financial hurdles in life.

That greed for more makes them gambling addict first and after that destroys their lives and force them to beg to fulfill their basic necessities of life. One solution which I have in my mind with which I think they can easily leave gambling for good is that to sit with the people who have tons of experiences in gambling because they will guide them better.

Hopefully it will guide the people for future improvements on their lives, and thinking that better results might change their bad habits. Why am I saying its a bad habit? Its because it involves the financial status which most of us needed to establish, specially when you're having a family to feed in order to live. That's how worst gambling was turning negative to most of the people everywhere, due to more families has been ruined by this gambling activities and being addicted is the most common reason.

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?

gambling as my own reason are games for fun not games to earn money, seriously a lot of rich people addicting in gambling the result is lose it money and the family become broken so if this scenario are happen to rich people how much more for the normal people earning in their job exact for the needs of the family and goes into gambling because they want to earn easy money but and the end their money become lose beacuse of playing gambling, sad to say playing gambling are for those people have an lot extra money ready to lose.

[Biggapp]

Maybe because of their religion,in that they have consider gambling is a sin thing to do so they want others also to move away from the gambling.But gambling can be good or bad that how we are using them the negativity keeps increasing because most of the players getting addicted to gambling and lost their lives.

This is one of the reason but not the supreme one. Actually three are so few countries where pole follow religion or you can say those counties are regulating over their religious laws. But majority countries are just making shit out of their citizens. They allow them legally to gamble anywhere. For such, sometimes gambling is promoted in a positive and sometimes in a bad way.

[el kaka22]

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.    

I think almost the whole world treat gambling negatively. It is a bad habit and a gambler has no respect in the community and even in his family. The reason is that a regular gambler loses everything and has no care for his family future. When a gambler loses money on a table, he borrows money and leaves himself in debts which ruin his life and his family as well.

I want to believe the treatment is as a result of how mist gamblers eventually ended up turning out.
While some were able to invest some brains into their skull to realize nothing good comes out of it and gamble accordingly or not gamble at all.

A larger percentage of gamblers just usually end up losing their should entirely to gambling which is why they screw up so bad and anyone who points at them would be like, gambling destroyed his life, so in that way, gambling will definitely be portrayed to be negative. If it is not so then it might lead to more destruction of innocent gamblers. At least this way could be considered as a method to save them.

[imsotiredofmoviereboots]

Because most of the true stories that you will hear about people who have been exposed to gambling always end to a bad fate. So if we make a ratio of people that has changed their life to positive or negative in gambling then I could say that only one of a million gamblers experience a good one.
