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.

why gambling is perceived as negative in society and is considered a pervert behavior of society because of gambling. 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.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
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?

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.

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.

This is the case, definitely. Once the root of something is evil how you can think of the upper body being an angel? No, absolutely not. The thing is, people from all over the world knows and their unanimous decision was to ban this gambling in every country. Since then some governments took decision and banned gambling while others still didn’t and people are continuously getting ruined there.
Lol. You do have some good points though since let's face the fact, nothing good has really come from gambling and those who eventually win a huge amount of money, quite a few number of them always end up utilizing it for something tangible while a lot of them still always end up losing it all back eventually at some point.

The thing is that human nature is filled with raging greed and that is one thing that if cannot be tamed by whoever is willing to gamble will always fall into that trap of addiction which is where the craziness starts.

Kidding aside, but Maybe bacause movies make a great influence on the peoples thinking about gambling and casino. Almost all the action movies ive watched has a casino scene which has gun fight scenes and most people there are illegal doers. Another thing is that, people who loses money has a high temper and can do anything even killing people. Other than these, i dont think there are more.
Literally theres a movie called casino depicting horrific events, to some extent did actually occur near Las Vegas in a period organised crime had 'better' control over the place while also being incredibly violent apparently - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_Spilotro

But the end titles for Casino is one of my favs too -  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jN_8mp-g78

Gambling relates to high drama quite easily, thats part of the attraction,  negative and positive therein

There is a bad attitude to gambling, because players can not stop and control themselves in time. Very many people become dependent on the gambling business, they get into debt, take loans, sell their property. With gambling, there are more negative, rather than positive impressions and stories. People describe it negatively, because they do not want more people to get involved in this industry.

I think those post that you have read proves that there is nothing to look forward to in gambling. It will just make you broke, so broke that you will have no place to live. I have seen a lot of people experience the same thing and I don't want that to happen to anyone else. The best thing to do is to stay away from it. There is nothing wrong  if you do it, as long as your money can afford it and don't get addicted to it.
true,before its too late,stay away from gambling.We heared negative result from gambling already like:losing properties,families and full of debt and even some committed suicide so,before being addicted to gambling don't start.

Because it's not a healthy industry. It's a vice and not a hobby that could make you more productive or focused in things that you do. You could easily get sucked in type of situation that feels like hell where getting out is another miracle.

Indeed because when you get addicted to it it's hard to quit and the more you think you quit the more you get involve.

Gambling portrayed like this is because of the people itself that drives their intuition to play more and eventually get hook and addicted. Everything that leads to us to addiction is label like this because addiction can't do nothing thus can bring us to our worse version.
In reality, gambling is just a vice but some gamblers see gambling as their hobby already because they are doing it everyday.

It is portrayed in that way because most gamblers are losing their money in gambling. In some movies too, wherever they are in the casinos or other gambling places there are always fight scenes (I think).

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.
Gambling is made totally for fun, it was just been tagged negatively due to people who abused it and became too greedy in it, since greed is included in deadly sins and we all knew how greedy players are when they play in gambling especially if they don't just considered it as game.

Indeed,  it is a game that sometimes (or always?) leads to addiction. The op said something about trading industry seems like he misunderstood something, trading is a serious but not addicting legal way of earning money unlike in the gambling that purely depends on the player's ability to ace the game and its luck.
That is what I wanted to say. Gambling is all about luck. You don’t have any control on it and your strategies are just not working out in any case if you aren’t that much lucky someday. Believe me, no skill can have any impact on your results when you are gambling. So why to go for such option that is biggest risky for your money? Why to gamble when you already know you will be getting loss? Think over it.

I think gambling is just entertainment and maybe it just becomes wrong if the money we use to bet is compromised and there is more that is meant to be used probably for family and leave all responsibility for our loved ones just to gamble. Gambling has always been described negatively since from the past

I disagree to that, no matter what excuses we have just to depend gambling, we can't change the fact that it is wrong, betting our money is wrong, so expect that many people will give negative comments about gambling, they are only saying what experience they have had when they played gambling the first time, they just learned their lesson, that is why they are discouraging everyone to try gambling since it is not worth it.
Well, whether gambling is a wrong action or not, it entirely depends on the individuals involved. If they are of the opinion that losing hard earned money by placing bets and depending completely on luck is a ridiculous plus harmful act, then absolutely it will be wrong but if someone thinks that it is pretty much fine to utilize some bucks this way, he won’t name it a crime certainly. For me, this is harmful so it is wrong also.
Your first part of statement is agreeable but I have restrictions for the other part of your comment. Actually there is nothing good in gambling. You can’t just input some bucks for fun or entertainment or earning sense, because everything you just put in there is a loss for you that you wouldn’t be getting back. So don’t be stupid to lose what you have hardly earned. Thing over it.

because gambling is the most prohibited by the state of the world and gambling is also the most sinful thing in various religions. so it's true that gambling is always negatively depicted because it can harm people too

No gambling is not prohibited everywhere in the world. Most of the government provide licenses to online and traditional casinos and make good money out of it.

Still, there are many people operating casinos without getting any permission to save taxes, that can cause legal issue for players as well.
Even if gambling is prohibited in some places it is simply because of the effect it usually has on some people and probably the government is just trying to in a way save its citizens. Gambling itself a negative thing hence portraying it negatively is not a wrong doing, in my view.

However, it is not because of this act by the government that makes it to be portrayed negative, it is just because of the fact that it brings a lot of negativity virtually to most of the people that are involved in it, probably because they had the wrong mindset which most of the time is always the case and then they get so overwhelmed until the lose out completely.
I think gambling should be banned in all the places over the world rather than the specified places where gambling is banned all the year just to show people that they are doing much efforts to stop this virus from destroying innocent people lives. Gambling isn’t a negative thing officially but it becomes negative the way people use it by putting bets and winning money in it.

Banning it is a different story though, Gambling has been with us since the beginning of time so I don't think that banning it can be done in just a few years. Of course government can prohibited it, but at the same time they can also issue permits to those who wanted to operate it legally. Its been portrayed very negative though because a lot of people thought that its the best way to earn money quick but it shouldn't be consider as a job, more of a hobby or just for fun.
