Topic: Why gambling is portrayed negatively almost everywhere? - page 10. (Read 2100 times)

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.

and that is the real problem that gambler should take attention if he doesn't want to stay in the gambling again. he needs to change his mind and think that with playing gambling, he cannot makes any money and he needs to leave gambling forever. a gambler should know why gambling is portrayed negatively so he can have a commitment to leave the gambling and maybe he needs other people to help him so it will give a big chance to leave the gambling.

Because people like having good things and bad things. Looking at the bigger picture, gambling is not bad at all. It's actually helping the society. Casinos are one of the highest payers of tax (but also the one that evades it the most) and they do give back directly to the people by sponsoring hospitals and whatnot. On the other hand, people like to have good things and bad things. Gambling is bad, smoking is bad, weed is bad. It's not accepted by the norm because they have seen people destroy their lives because of gambling. But, people have been destroying their own lives in different things too. Gambling is just one of the things that has a more dramatic story because money is involved. The system itself is ruining people but it is not portrayed negatively by people. It's just accepted by them.

Living in a small island at a third world country, I have witnessed poor people being so addicted to gambling. In their minds, they are just keeping their minds off the stress but honestly do they even afford to? It's mostly the boys that are into gambling and the girls (or their wives) have nothing to do but accept that they fell in love with a gambler. They can't fight their husbands because they are going to get physically and verbally hurt. Funny. Yes, it is bad but slowly it is becoming more accepted. It is becoming a lifestyle to some.

You can earn money from gambling but not easily because gambling requires a lot of patience and a lot of people have not that patience and they leave gambling before they could get any advantage of it. There are success stories of gambling but are very less in number that we hardly hear them from people that’s why we start believing that gambling is very difficult.

Gambling is not considered a crime though because it is all done with the person’s own satisfaction. It is considered as a bad thing because of the consequences of gambling which the person has to suffer when he becomes used to it. I have also seen people in my life who were once very stable and had no financial crisis but after get introduced to gambling, they also faced its consequences.

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.

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.

I would not say it leads people to criminal activities though, as gambling itself is just an activity on its own with some negative impact based on the gambler perspective about gambling in general. Some see gambling as a means to make money or something that can set them up for life but in the real life, gambling is just a game where the gambler is prone to lose everything and without that mentality, any gambler will fall a prey to the negativity that comes with it.

Gambling is actually a choice and it is not like anyone should be forced to gamble or not to. However, what is wrong is expecting the greatest moment of winning from gambling.

This is the reason why it ends up being portrayed negatively as it has really made some crazy impact in the life of gamblers and simply, anything that brings negativity to a huge percentage of those who embarks on something, will always make such a thing to end up being portrayed negative.

Yes these are the negative effects which make gambling negative in everywhere but in some societies, who do not gamble for making money or for longer time till the end of their wealth, gambling is considered as a game and these people from these societies come to casinos for meeting new people and for entertainment. With that there are some societies where it is banned by the governments because of their religion so it is considered as a bad thing.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.     

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.

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.

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.
