Topic: Why gambling is portrayed negatively almost everywhere? - page 18. (Read 2100 times)
most people see gambling as a negative activity because they think someone who plays gambling can easily make a profit instantly and some people are willing to take a risk by risking all their possessions for luck, some even losing their property and going bankrupt, although some people always win in gambling so they can become rich. different from trading, in a trade one must have capital to make a profit. but trade also has risks to be faced, and trading is seen as a positive activity because trade has become familiar in real life even trade can be used as a daily work by most people who wrestle in this field.
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?

Trading is viewed more positively as it creates a market and has a society benefit to providing active prices for goods. Sometimes that price is available day or night for any type of holding, it knocks onto the investment and innovation in a country possibly.
Also most obviously, alot of governments are in giant amounts of debt. That debt has to be serviced and supplied by a market and with many traders requires to actively give pricing for both buys and sells at the needs of anyone with capital to invest.
So there is a large bias to finance in many countries due to this need. Gambling can actually be part of that eco system by providing tax revenue so I dont know it should be viewed negatively, at least as far as government revenues is concerned.
Quite a few people over gamble, take too much risk. Again I think this is bad in finance terms and leads to bad markets and obviously in gambling its not a good scenario either and its possible to lose control. I dont view any gambler negatively if they stay on top of things and are able to take time out when needed.
Gambling is prohibited or considered negative in almost any country or anywhere because it is very risky .. because it will create an addiction without control and will cause danger and harm yourself .. many negative impact if you gamble and you will lose money or everything, Avoid and stay away if you do not want to be poor..
Officially, every country except few ones say openly that no activity regarding gambling will be entertained and the person caught disobeying the rules and regulations will be punished strictly but they don’t do what they say. Every state is well aware of every single affair happening in it but they don’t like to stop gambling casinos from doing their job because they are helping governments by paying heavy taxes.
Besides, we can’t really stop a person from doing what he has made his mind for in this era of information technology where internet provides all sort of entertainments.
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.
Because lot of people are getting addicted to the gambling and losing their money without having any control while betting then later they consider gambling causes them to become poor in short time and they will keep spreading wrong information about gambling.And other reason might be religious,in some religion the gambling is consider as sin so many people portray it as negative thing to do.
You just took the words out of my mouth. I have come to realize that most people who term gambling as a negatively are the ones whom have being once addicted to it or have had family members who have been addicted before. You never can blame them because as it is said, experience is always a perfect teachers'. And while some religions regard it as sins is because, they are concerned as sins which can lead one to another sins. 
Of course gambling is shown negatively because gambling games do not have any benefit and do not produce anything so it can be said that gambling is useless. So do not ever try to play gambling because it will only make our lives in vain. Gambling games will make us addicted and with no results we get, so everyone has known that gambling is a bad thing and can destroy our lives.
Well, i think it is not really the gambling itself that is the problem but the gamblers. I think because gambling has destroyed lives of many individuals. Many couple separated because their spouse was addicted to gamblng, sold their properties, been burried in debts and when a gambler court a woman the first reaction the gambler gets is he is rejected by the woman’s family because he is a gambler.
I couldn't agree the more, we often judge gambling by the lifestyle of some irresponsible gamblers or people who were seen to be gambling carelessly and to me it's unfair because there are some fine sports bettors i know around who are very responsible and disciplined when it comes to selecting their games and in their private lives as well.
Yeah we can't blame people if they think negatively about it since in reality, addiction to gambling really ruined lives and families already. Yeah it's the person's attitude but gambling is accessible pretty much anywhere for anyone and it draws people to 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.
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.

Maybe it is because of the norm and culture of the people. If you are a gambler you are portrayed as a bad people. Movies play a major role on portraying a gambler because all gamblers that are in the movies are bad people.

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.
You should not even be considering a strategy as long as it comes to gambling, but instead just depend on your luck and if it does not pull you through, you move on and find something else to do. However, some people have ended up painting the worst picture in their head as they tend to just look for ways to get rich quickly and then believe that gambling will set that path for them when they should be using their funds for something useful or even saving it.Gambling will only and always make the pocket of the platform owners richer and the gamblers who have the wrong mindset poorer.
Gambling is the owner's game not the gamblers who have invested on any option. There are people go with the bitcoin and loose all the money over the gambling site. If there are high amount of investors through out the gambling site to play for luck and enjoyment purposes alone.
Since the people loosing the hard earned money on the various gambling site. All the investors showing the gambling website as a negative thing mate.
Gambling is a business just like any other business. To sustain a business, they need profits and it's not wrong. Gambling houses are not here to do charity! When people gamble, they mostly understand the risk associated with it. Majority of the gamblers understand the risk of loosing money if not all. They also understand that they can win big in their luck support them. That is called responsible gambling! One should not gamble with their last saved penny but if anyone with control to his emotions and finances, will never go bankrupt because of gambling.
It's just the outlook of people towards gambling needs to be changed. Yes, there are people who has gone bankrupt because of gambling. But we have seen instances of people going bankrupt after investing in stocks as well, that is also a form of gambling, packaged in sophistication! I strongly believe, gambling is nothing wrong if you play responsibly. The problem starts when someone goes out of control.
I am not that surprised that gambling is portrayed negatively in most of the occasions. I have seen before my own eyes how some of my friends got ruined financially as a result of their addiction to gambling. Addiction is the problem, but if you start gambling then it is very difficult to stay away from it.
It's not the fault of gambling, it's you. Blaming gambling for your lack of responsibility isn't very smart. You could be as well blaming a car for hitting someone, not its driver.
Gambling is not addicting to people who don't get addicted to other things. Some people are alcoholics, some are gamblers, but although both alcohol and gambling exist some people remain sober and not addicted to gambling. Do you know why that is?
Such sayings are widespread because for new gamblers with small balances their bets aren't significant that much but after getting involved in it for sometime, the greediness might kick in and they might get so addictive to gambling that they end up losing all their precious earnings.
Other people look at the risk involved in gambling and stay away form it but real gamblers know how to look beyond it and have profits.

The recent advancements in the field of broadband has provided people with a number of online opportunities. There are social media websites for interacting with friends, forums to get knowledge about a particular niche and blogs to learn from experiences of other people. Another thing that has become quite popular online is gambling. Unfortunately, some people do get addicted to it which affects their life. This is why it is not considered a positive thing.

I guess one of the reason is because there are many gamblers who got themselves seriously addicted to gambling and they even start to take huge amount of loans from their relatives, friends or even banks and this action have resulted them into getting huge amount of debts, and the cause of the root is gambling.
