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.

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

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.

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.

Most of the people came into the gambling to earn money without doing any work but they forgot that only few people can earn here and others lost their money.So the people who continuously losing their money will end of losing their life too so which is a bad thing in the eyes of community but it is the gamblers fault not the gambling's fault.

I don't see any benefits of gambling aside from entertainment and fun. Aside from that, there are more consequences that you need to face like gambling addiction, Lose of money and probably lost of funds, family and assets. Gambling has been portrayed negatively because many people are losing here and they are saying negatives things to anybody. People who lose in gambling will share bad experiences if they lose then the DOMINO EFFECT will happen. More and more will say negatives to gambling that is why it has been portrayed negatively.

It is that entertainment and fun that so many people have overlooked and since there is actually the possibility of winning a huge amount, they tend to focus more on that. Those who are actually gambling just to go have some little fun and end up paying for the fun, will never look at the aspect of winning much and if they do, they will know when to stop.

I go to casino with just so little I would not even feel and most times, I have two ways of stopping which is when I have finished what I have on me, or when time is up, but so many people will just want to spend their entire life in a casino like it depends on it.

I think confidence matter more than self-control because if the gambler will play with confidence, he would easily tackle the situations that will open to him from his opponent unlike when he is in the lowest level of his confidence. When this will be his situation, he will make very silly moves because his mind at that time wouldn’t be able to tackle any situation and definitely will lose the game.

Really mate!! I can take your argument for dice and slot games where the winnings are based on pure luck, but do you know what poker or blackjack is? Or what sports betting is? Do you know the amount of research and calculations these games require? But I like it when you say "Gambling is actually a social taboo". Yes, it is! And that's what I am trying to break, at least within this community!

Most of the time gamblers get addicted to it. This is the reason why gambling is portrayed negatively almost everywhere. When someone benefits out of the same and make use of it as an opportunity gambling is good. One need to know the limits in gambling and should stick to it, which helps to gamble without ending in addiction.

This is really making sense. Just consider the trading in bitcoins, why people don’t call it bad or why it’s not being promoted negatively? Because this isn’t bad for anyone. People come here and earn money from their little investments and these bitcoins are providing best platform to them to live a happy life, so they are being promoted positively. While gambling is promoted so truly.

Well said as gambling is something which mostly you do not have to do anything just put money anywhere and if you win you get the money else you lose money. Investing in btc is not that because you cannot get the result in couple of seconds like you made money or lost it like gambling. One has to do research and then invest in any coins.

Nothing is so easy except gambling. If you talk about trading or investing, people need to understand that these two things require skill sets from you. Rather gambling is just a game of luck. If you are lucky someday, you can be getting some good numbers as a results. But mostly this wouldn’t be the case. Once people win someday, the next day they start losing everything.

Gambling is also not easy. It also requires experience, skills and tricks to be a successful gambler. In my opinion the easiest thing is investment. If you have money invest it in bitcoin and hold for some time and you will make handsome money while doing exactly nothing except waiting. There is no need for experience, skills and anything else.

I think gambling already created a stigma as a bad thing to do and it can make anyone broke. Gambling addiction will not do any good unless you will be a professional like those poker players who were earning nearly millions of dollars even if they didn't win the tournament. I will never recommend gambling to anyone because I know how it is to be a gambling addict. It will never be a good experience.

Yes mate. 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 proffessional gamblers are the lucky ones who can earn win or lose in a tornaments which are very few and selected individual amongst those millions of gamblers around the globe. Lucky for me i was not an addicted gambler eventhough i gamble occasionally.

Trading you can believe the coins and hold it for some months mate. But here on gambling you cannot ablel to choose the best team always to make profit in betting and then you cannot go out with the casino and poker room as like trading has been operated bro.
Simply these two are different varieties. Hope you cannot get the profit with gambling like you can get on trading platform bro.
Best you can do in gambling by choosing the less amount odd player to see the profitm sometime even that also become false one.

It's not a negative way of earning , gambling is more like a easy sort of way for making quick cash and the chances of making that is possible but the problem is within the people who use this method , most of them do make profit but because of there greed they continue to gamble and lose it all. This is why many consider it to be negative otherwise there are many ways to make money from gambling

Definitely right mate. Many have understood the existence of gambling when the real purpose of it is to give pleasures and entertainment to people. But because gambling gives us quick money that is why people tend to gamble to gain more without thinking that there is no way to always win in gambling and most of the time gamblers losses. And because they tend to bring back what they’ve lose, it ended up with more losses.

Gambling is something not good for anyone of us and that it only results in loss of money. It is just like an addiction of alcohol or any other drug and the one who gets into find it very much difficult to get rid of this curse and at the end, he is only left with regret as he has lost all his money in gambling while trying to make some good earning. We all need to make ourselves understand this thing that there is nothing good in gambling.

Yeah, most of the time, it would only take some huge luck and some high level of self-control to win a lot from gambling and then know how to just cart away with your winning respectively which is one thing most people find very hard to do because they have allowed the gambling excitement to overwhelm them that they even forget how they should be reasonable and apply common sense most of the time. This act has made it to be portrayed as being bad due to its negative impact not just to the gambler but to the society.

Well you are a little bit losing something,brother this is bad and hilarious for everyone. Like you have said, this can’t be just healthier from someone and for others it would be disadvantageous. No, this isn’t right. We have to look into matter that why everyone is just losing money if it is better for someone as well. Who are those people who never lose in gambling?

The reason why gambling is portrayed negatively almost everywhere because gambling do not have any good advantages when you started playing it, gambling is a bad influence or disadvantages that it can lead you to extreme addiction to it that is why many people wouldn't want to try to play gambling.

It was introduced for seeking pleasure and have some entertainment in short intervals but the people have made it an insane thing that’s why everyone feels uncomfortable while discussing this gambling among people. I think gambling is portrayed negatively almost everywhere because the stories related to it that we hear every day are very dreadful and ends like this are not entertained by anyone.

This is a very dirty world full of people with dirty minds. I am very shocked sometimes when I come to know about the facts like this that why the things were created and which benefits the people are taking of them. One dirty fish makes the whole pond dirty and this is why people feel uncomfortable while discussing gambling in front of other people because that bad fish conducted gambling badly.

I agree with you, they don't know what the effect of gambling if they still playing gambling for a long time and they can ruin their life anytime. maybe the first time they played gambling, they don't feel about this but after playing in one month, their money will reduces too much, they are getting more losses, they are stress, they want to win their money but they cannot.

I think everyone who comes to gambling first do let know about the consequences of gambling at the later part of life because at that time, every gambler is making a lame excuse that they weren’t informed about an outcomes like this. In starting, gambler is considering as a source of income and relaxation also but when they keep on losing money, then they come to know what gambling actually offers.

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.

Yes, gambling is always considered negative everywhere. because gambling a short way to make money and remove money and negative reasons because it can cause addictive effects that can harm himself. being an addict is a bad thing and hard to get rid of and his life will be ruined. but gambling is difficult to remove because although it is prohibited to play it and supported by the environment that supports it.
The bottom line is that gambling is negative because gambling will damage itself and will eliminate what you have

I agree with you that gambling is portrayed negatively everywhere but the reason that you have given for such case is something like not matching. You said that gambling is portrayed negatively because it is an easy and quick way to earn money. This is something which comes in the advantage of gambling and that is the only reason why all the gamblers start gambling and are still doing it.

I also compare gambling with alcohol and drugs addictions. When you cannot leave anything easily it means that you are addicted of that thing. As I am smoker and I cannot leave smoking, it means that I am addicted of smoking. The same is wig gamblers. They are addicted of gambling and as it is a worst thing the society think gambling addictor bad people.

Interestingly, there are medications to cure gambling addiction as well. There are certain medications that can benefit these individuals. Generally, the prescribed medications belong to the class of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors. But, you must take professional advice before taking these as the dose may differ depending on your current situation.

It is all about the game of mind. Nothing else can be done rather than to make your mind aware of the damages created by gambling in the past. Mind is a powerful machine and it really knows better and can differentiate between good and bad. It can inform us about the goods we are doing and likewise the bad we are even intending of. So just listen to it and make ourselves determined on that.

The same mind that some gamblers find very hard to control and let their emotions get returned by their gambling habit until they eventually get addicted. The problem is the level at which people get addicted and then irresponsibly make people around them suffer for their stupid actions.

We really cannot blame gambling itself even though if we really want to face fact, it has brought more harm than good over the years, but I really blame those who just cannot keep their head and mind in one piece and let the impulse from gambling out rule their emotions until they finally become a gambling puppet.

In start many gamblers gamble just for fun and they will never be regular gamblers in the future, but gradually they become addict of gambling and then they cannot quit gambling. Gambling becomes a part of their lives although they know that it is not good but it is difficult for them to leave gambling easily. This is the reason that gambling is treated negotiable all over the world.
