Why gambling is portrayed negatively almost everywhere?

[Taki]

Gambling was portrayed negatively due to many people saw the worst cases of such addiction in life and on TV. The same way like with drugs. We all know that famous and not so much people take it daily and live happily to the end of life, if the case is about regular doses, but again we accept drug taking as negative and dastroying, because of we saw hard forms of addiction or heard of it from the mass media.

I think it's because in gambling, people can spend a big money without making a profit from the game and people cannot always win and only getting the loss. gambling is not easy money to get and gambling is easy money to lose so think twice if you want to stay in many games in gambling and you need to know about the risk of playing gambling in every day.

Exactly. That's the huge reason why many people see gambling as something negative in life. If you gamble more than what you can't afford to lose, then obviously the effects are more negative than positive. The nature of gambling is not such where you can always win and become lucky, hence the chances of losing are more probable in this field. You'll never become rich quick by doing the practice of gambling, but you could indeed profit and cash out for your own benefit. It's important to quickly withdraw your earnings instead of using them for gambling, as you could lose it all within a short time frame.

Some people become extremely addicted to gambling games, and due to their carelessness, they lose everything and become bankrupt. By controlling your addiction, and never spending more than what you can't afford to lose, the negative effects of gambling become reduced to a minimum. Remember that gambling is not for everyone except for those who're willing to take the risk. Gambling can be highly rewarding, but at the same time highly risky. Just my thoughts

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?

I think that many people see gambling as something negative in life, simply because they tend to lose more money than what they earn. While this is true, it's not a reason to say that gambling is completely negative. From lottery, to dice, to poker games, to slots, there's a gambling game for everyone that suits their needs. You just need to be patient and never spend more than what you earn to stay safe when playing such games.

Sometimes, gambling is derived of pure luck, where you can win more than what you lose. There are many well-known strategies across the web, that will help you become a better gambler, but they're not a standard rule to make you win all the time. IMO, gambling sites will always be legal if governments will be able to tax them.

I believe that there's a bright future for the gambling industry, despite what it is said in the mainstream world. Better yet, with the inception of Bitcoin's blockchain technology, you can expect to deal with smart contracts, instead of humans directly, eliminating the middleman, and further reducing the risks involved with gambling. Therefore, it's all about luck and good dedication to become successful in gambling. This field is not for everyone, but only for those who are able to throw money at gambling games with the hopes of multiplying their money in the short term with a huge risk involved. Just my opinion

Actually a lot of people have made experienced lost in gambling and therefore they always think about gambling as negative, but still people like to play gambling because gambling seems to them the most easiest and shortest way of making money.

It is really portrayed negatively almost everywhere because gambling may lead to addiction that can ruin your everything.

I've already know people who get addicted to gambling and as a result he lost his family, friends and properties.

In reality, if someone start entering the world of gambling he/she may not control or limit his/her self to gamble . Almost gambler cannot stop gambling and it leads to bankrupt and lose everything he/she have.

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 professional gamblers are the lucky ones who can earn win or lose in a tournaments which are very few and selected individual amongst those millions of gamblers around the globe. Sadly for me I was an addicted gambler and lost some bigs in my life now already broken and trying to recover for just back in normal life which is very hard as its not works for every one.

Yeah, in as much as people are getting addicted each and every day, they are becoming a nuisance as well as liability to themselves, their families and society at large, then, gambling will be considered as something negative.

Sure, we may want to argue it that this has to do with people's mentality and mindset towards gambling, but if we really want to face the truth, very little percentage of gamblers do it for fun while the rest are just after the money and as long as this is the case, we will keep seeing cases of addiction in the long run.

Most of the people don't have faith in gambling, before gambling they won't listen to other and after losing they will start spreading negative news about the gambling. Of course, we have to agree there is a huge risk involved in gambling but even though we take some measures but the results will not be in our favour.

What is there to have faith in? Having faith in gambling to give you a huge amount of money at the end or to make you extremely rich overnight? In that case, you will really be making a huge terrible mistake and then you will see yourself losing so much in the long run instead of winning anything at all. People with mindsets like winning at all cost are the reasons why gambling is portrayed negatively everywhere, simply because they set their mind too much to it and they miss out on the reality.

Well, people already think this as bad because it can make people who already worst to become more worst. It can make people problematic the way they are going to think where they get their bankroll on next day. It can make person addicted on it which it lead them in bad situation.

Gambling is portrayed as a problem for the government that is the reason they are not banning it. People might not still consider it negatively since the government has the power to do that. In our country, Gambling is not banned but still there are a lot of people that portray it as bad, some don't really portray it as anything since it is usually used when they are bored at their houses, calling out their neighbors to play some card games and bet some coins.

[Symphonized]

Most of Gamblers dont know how to be properly or have the necessary experience to sucessed in gambling.

Therefore they end up busting by making a bad bet or just ALL IN.

Frustration pops up and you consider it negatively when u can not recover it anymore

"Play with what you can afford to lose"

[Claudyah]

I think the problem in gambling is different from trading, indeed we can also earn money and indeed we can also get risk, but from the other side why gambling can be called negative, because in the risk of gambling is very large if it already addicts the point is gambling is full of emotion and if indeed can not be overcome it can be fatal, the effect will lose all the money and assets that belong to him

It's all common sense in that part but once the addict is triggered, there's nothing more you could do but just try to help them but if not, they wouldn't do anything. It's up to them on doing what they think it's right. Not everything is about money but spending it in a way which is not that practical.

I think people see gambling in terms of the effect that is obtained, most gamblers suffer losses, although some experience profits. but what appears most in the news is the negative effect of gambling, even though gambling only offers a game, and the purpose of gambling depends on each player

[maydna]

because people in out there don't see any positive from gambling itself, so they can judge contrary for the gambling. besides that, once people get involve in gambling games and they are often playing gambling, the chance for them to lose their money is bigger and they cannot recover it even if they using much money. and they are only losing more money without they realize and in the end, they will regret, and they can become stress because of losing the money in gambling games.

Greed, wrong mentality and over indulgence, is one thing that has always been a characteristics of most gamblers and the main reason why they have ended up an addict over time. Being an addict is very bad in anything because it has fully taken control over you and it is more like you worshiping it and not being able to live a day without it.

For that fact, it makes them poorer as they make wrong decisions and judgments and they keep losing so much even though it is affecting the people around them. This alone is enough to bring about the negativity that surrounds it.

What has always been the major problem when it comes to gambling is that they focus too much on winning and discarding the reality that this is just a game of luck and the chances of winning is usually very slim. However, before they would start realizing that, they would have been long deep in it and getting out would be a problem and we all know what the end result is usually like.

Exactly. Most gamblers are in it for the money rather than simply having fun. For people who had never tried gambling, then often lose more than what they've initially invested into a game due to lack of knowledge in the gambling sector. After not getting the results they've wanted, they quickly associate the term gambling as something very bad when that's not usually the case.

It has been seen that expert gamblers (especially in skill-based games like Poker and Blackjack) have been successful when doing the practice of gambling. Of course, they won't always win money, but they could easily achieve a return on investment by playing such games.

While most gambling games are based on pure luck and randomness, I believe that the positive traits of gambling are more than the negative ones. It will all depend on the level of perception a person has whenever he/she thinks gambling is good or bad for his/her life. However, if someone becomes extremely addicted to gambling, they'll lose everything in the long term due to the high ambitions of greed. Just my opinion

The facts are very burdensome for gambling. The number of people who suffer because of gambling is greater than the number of people who benefit from it. That is why gambling has been perceived badly by the public since long time ago.

This is another problem when it comes to gambling, gambling is basically playing a game in which the probabilities are against you and you are going to lose in the long term, I gamble from time to time and I can accept that, I can accept that I will lose some money when I gamble, in a way I see it in the same way that I see going to the cinema, I'm going to get charged a certain amount of money in order to get some fun and see the movie, but people have expectations of making money when they gamble and when they lose they cannot accept that fact, personally I do not mind if I lose when I'm playing poker, dice or sports bets because I know I gamble only to get some fun.

Especially on country that banned gambling completely, it makes gambling portrayed negative. Also the bad effect of gambling is more bigger than the positive one.

Even to those countries that didn't banned gambling, some of the communities there are portraying gambling as negative and will bring bad luck to their family if one of their family member is doing the same thing.

I've heard a lot of tales and stories about it but I forgot where did the origin of those came from. But this is part of the culture, like in our society there are people who are pro into something and there are anti's so we can't really please everyone.
