That's the problem with the society today, anything they think that involves money would always have a negative feedback. Even trading have negative feedbacks but not like gambling. I think people are so used to hearing gambling and automatically they think it would be a negative thing that's why they tell you to stay away from it. And also sometimes it is based on experience, like a family member of them are addicted to gambling to a point wherein they are unlucky everytime they bet on something. And we can't take away that feeling of getting used to by some, but we can minimize that way of thinking if we don't gamble that much.
I have a little different opinion in this matter. It is not like society considers money as some kind of evil in all cases. Gambling is not the only thing that involves money but instead of giving money to the gambler, it takes away, that is where problem lies and why it is considered as a bad thing. It harms a person’s health and wealth. Moreover, his close ones can also get effected if he is an addict. 
Topic: Why gambling is portrayed negatively almost everywhere? - page 22. (Read 2100 times)
Because it deserves to be portrayed negatively EVERYWHERE around the globe not just almost everywhere ..
It is one of the most destructive if not the most destructive one and it has destroyed many lives than it has made people rich ..
Everyone wants to be like that fancy rich gambler , but you should know that you can end up like that homeless guy living in train station toilets because of it ..

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.
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?

Gambling is different with trading, the reason why they are alike is because of the risk you are taking when doing both. Gambling is viewed as a bad habit because it is too addicting and risky. A lot of people destroyed their lives because of gambling, a lot lost a lot of money and even their family because of it.

Trading and gambling should both be done under the same rules - NO ADDICTION POLICY. We should only gamble/trade that we can afford to lose, and there's nothing wrong in doing both of these (until someone develops some amount of guilt over their decisions in case they lose).
Agree with it,no addiction policy is what everyone need to follow either in gambling or trading but both involves luck too.People won't have any gui;t as long as they are making money even it is a sin in their religion so it all based on money but some people covering their inability to do them with religion.
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.
Gambling is everywhere negativ portrayed because they are to many people who could not controll themself and lost everything they got. So of course they are a lot of people who get rich with gambling, but they are already more people who make negativ experience with it. And they are more people portrayed on television who make those mistakes. So gambling isnt just gambling, its also making a strategy and thinking before you do something. If you dont, you will lose 100%!
Is it not? People go there because their very hasty to get rich and they want it to happen in a few minutes of their play. Their positivity where they think that they will win the game is actually a bad thing and that is where all the negative things start to happen.
Alcohol, Cigarettes and Gambling are all pretty much portrayed the same way. Even they are all legal in most nations.
The reason why Alcohol and Cigarettes are bad is because they are bad for your health and can kill you and cause harm.
Gambling can't kill you because you don't consume it but it can make you an addict like the above and it can cause harmful effects to your financial situation.
Hence the reason why it has a bad rap.

Alcohol can kill right away that's true, but I wouldn't say the same about cigarettes. Cigarettes are supposedly killing you when you chronically smoke them during a long period of time. Same with gambling, if you constantly abuse it you may be deprived of all your money and even go in debt which can potentially kill you. Not only gambling, cigarettes and alcohol have a bad reputation, there are other things, overeating for example, which is also killing you if you abuse it. In short, gambling is not so bad if it is not abused, and btw it is portrayed positively in many books and movies.
In that some religion alcohol and gambling also being consider as a sin. It is completely waste of time to invested our hard earned money to shit gambling website. In the final day we will never have returns if you invested on the gambling site.
I advice you to go with the trading instead of wasting your money on gambling this is also the interesting platform to make the money.

I am very much like the way you do because i also did that matters. I think until there is a poor mindset and misunderstood of gambling thinking about the money making games anyone cant get out easily. Too few people known gambling as a business. When it comes to trading it was another kind of investment and story to figure out.

It is because it is closely associated with playing with hard earned money. There are other times when people would gamble because the money they have with them that are intended for gambling did not come from their hard work- might be from corruption, from robbery, among others. The bottom line is, it is a conscious wasting of money with due disregard to those who have less in life, economically-speaking. It is similar to those gluttons that are disregarding the needs of the hungry. I think this has something to do with the culture we are all in, and you know culture, it is difficult to stop unless you kill the race per se.
It has existed since quite long time but the popularity of internet has made it accessible to wider audience. Earlier, it was limited to rich and influential but these days I see even college students being addicted to such websites. If your studies or work is affected by gambling, it is something to concerned about and portrayed negatively.

Well, it is very an obvious answer. First, When you enter the gambling world and you had fun and you earned money from it, it will be hard for them to avoid it. Sometimes they will borrow money so they can play and sometimes they will sell their properties just for gambling. They often forget their limitations when they got enter this world. We should remember that we need to know our limitations in order for us to not get lose a lot of money.
It is because it is closely associated with playing with hard earned money. There are other times when people would gamble because the money they have with them that are intended for gambling did not come from their hard work- might be from corruption, from robbery, among others.

Good point. Since the advent of internet and the proliferation of online gambling sites, gambling has turn out one of the most 'hated' vices because its has no boundaries that will lead to someone, somewhere get addicted, lost their control of themselves then greed sets in.
Of course we can't deny that everyone is really looking for easy money, but gambling has more risk and eventually you will be suckered by the system and eventually can't control yourself that might resulted ruining your own life.

Gambling can viewed as a disease or illness, as it has been proven to be addicting.
Like an vice, it's only a problem if it becomes too serious and get out of control.
If you know when and have the ability to stop when you choose, it can be an enjoyable hobby.

Very addicting! Once addiction takes over , theres no way you can control it. You'll be drained financially, it can destroy a family, and worse you cant stop gambling.
The OP has made a point, but in general gambling has a lot reason why it has a negative impact in a person's life and that view could never be changed, for gamling has known to be destroying lives and even family financially and emotionally.
Exactly, its very addicting and it has ruined a lot of lives in the past. How many times we have read that there are many suicides or murders connected to gambling? Right. Too many.
For me this is the number 1 reasons why gambling is portrayed negatively specially countries which is developed. They have seen so many times that gambling indeed destroys families and relationships so its better to stop them before it totally destroyed everyone in the community.
I doubt your view on gambling and that's exactly I am trying to point out. I understand that gambling has ruined a lot of lives but they were probably all addicted to it. Addiction to anything is not good, be it alcohol, smoking, gambling and trading. However, if someone can control their greed and emotion, gambling won't take their lives. These addiction is mainly associated risk to this industry and depends on the individuals. Gambling, as a whole can't be blamed for that.

If you trade with speculation only without doing analysis and researches = gambling = trade on your luck only. Indeed both has the same risk of losing money, but you wont lose your money on trading in a second. Losing on trading is only when you sell what you bought with lower price. If you do not sell it = you do not lose your money.
Obviously trading is a better way in order to make money because of above reason. One more important thing, gambling should not be used as a way to make money. If you do it, you will only lose your money again and again.

Because gambling will lead to a very negative act if you can not control your emotions after losing a lot of money on the gambling table, if you can not control that emotion then you might do negative things like stealing, killing etc. I think that is the part or reason people see gambling as a negative activity.
