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.
Yes this is the one reason why gambling is portrayed negatively in public. Gamblers are making their way to get money in order for them to gamble but in the end, they will think about what they have done and they will be depressed and the worse is they commit suicide for what they did. Gamblers tend to do anything in order to have money to gamble. Committing crimes, rob other houses etc. These are some of the things gamblers can do when they don't have money.

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?

Oh I believe that trading and gambling are not really that different when it comes to average people doing that. In fact, in trading, the edge is on large financial institutions that can perform very fast and low commission trades, and they can earn money by being the first to put a given trade. By the time average Joe can make his trade, they may be out with profit. In gambling the edge is on a casino.

That makes average people trying to do trading or gambling participants in a negative sum game (they are bound to lose money long term).

And this is why people who gamble a lot are portrayed negatively. They always lose money long term, and sometimes they lsoe their family houses or money for the future of their kids.
The worse thing is gambling is that it is the mother of almost all crimes. A gambler can do anything to make some money and gambler with it. He can snatch robber, loot and even murder for money. If you observe all criminals are also gamblers because easy come easy go fits on them. I think that baling should be banned everywhere in the world.

because gambling teaches us to bet money without doing any work. it is very bad in the eyes of society. but actually there is a good side of gambling, which is the basic science of trading.
Yes,that's the reason why people has a negative perspective of gambling.They consider it as a bad habit or vices which sometimes destroy family relationship.If the person involved in this kind of habit she/he may consider many risk of lossing not just money but a good family ties.Always put limitations to everything.
I can never say well to gambling because I have seen many people in my life who lose everything in gambling. They have no respect in society and people do not interact with them because they are thought the worst people in the society and if you relate with them others will think that you are also a gambler. They even have no respect in their families.

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.

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

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.
And when people want to evaluate something, they will look at the actual results, the negative result is too obvious for gambling while positive results are too rare, even not worth mentioning, so there is no reason to stop the negative from spreading everywhere. But despite the bad news from gambling, many people are still crazy and plunge into gambling to find luck, they can not control greed, although the odds of winning are extremely low, they still accept then pour all the guilt towards the direction of gambling, that's so funny

I think people portray gambling as a negative thing because of experiences they probably had encountered or maybe one of their close friends or family had been into gambling and nothing good came out of it, and so they generalize the thought that when they hear the word "gambling" it automatically makes them think it is not good.
I have no different opinion than yours. The hope of becoming rich with zero effort is what attracts many people and keep them continuing their games even after his capital goes through a huge loss. Greed is not as dangerous as laziness is. A person who believes in hard work and gives his best every day will never ice to choose gambling because it will be totally against his nature, rules and principles. Gambling cannot make anyone rich unless he is very lucky.

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.

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

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.
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.

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.

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.
We all know this fact that this world is full of gamblers and that there are so many people who like gambling and that most of the time, they invest all their money into it as well despite knowing the fact that it is a very risky job to do but even then, they go for it and then most of the time, they regret because of the heavy losses which they have then suffered. You need to stay away from any such activity as there is nothing good which you can get.
Having negative perspective about gambling is a good thing as far as my knowledge is concerned because it will help you to stay away from gambling as far as possible and you will be successful in saving yourself from disastrous ends of life. People have a negative impact of gambling because really destroys the lives of the people who become addicted to it.

Gambling is not a way of making money but sadly, majority does not understand this fact. If have never hated greed as far as the person is choosing the right way of fulfilling this. If he works hard and spends sleepless night in order to gain money, fame and respect, there is nothing wrong with it. Besides, it is impossible to become a rich person without having love for such a life. All of us are greedy but not stupid to choose gambling for this.
