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.

Superb explanation, +1 for how you made everyone rethink over their thinking about gambling.
I believe that there's nothing wrong in gambling, but chances of losing in gambling at a sudden pace are much more compared to trading.
Trading has a stop loss advantage, gambling doesn't. Both are good, both are bad.

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.
Alcohol is also can't kill someone if he consumes it one or two time,but cigarette is more worse it directly affects the lung the single puff can decrease our life time by five minutes.But these are affecting the health but gambling affects the health mentally by over doing them and will cause addiction.But in some religion also it was considered as sin so this maybe a reason that group of people saying it is a bad thing to do.

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 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?


Obviously it is because of its bad reputation, everyone is having a hard time to pull something off in gambling, they are losing most of the time, and you can't blame them if they treat gambling as a game that you should avoid because it is too dangerous. Maybe you are asking question like that because you are lucky in gambling that is why you are supporting it in your own way.

And answering your question on why Trading is seen as a good way of making money unlike gambling, well it is because the money that you are going to risk in Trading is the money that you are going to manage, unlike the money you are risking in gambling which you don't have any potential on controlling it because that is how it works.

First of all I don't think that lucky is the absolute determinant of success in gambling,I say this because  I have a little  experience in this sphere and I know that there are too many gambling businesses which work with dishonest schemes,They are trying to do everything bad for their own well-being and at the same time relevant structures don't control them because of their interests.
In essence, gambling has a dubious similarity,but I think they are very different things,because of ideas behind them.The principle of earning funds is very different too,Because when you are trading you can use economists theories,strategies,You can also create your own,successful strategy to achieve special goals,But In my opinion in gambling there are no things like that,If I'm wrong sorry but its obvious for me.

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.

This is due to the many instances of less favorable cases of gambling activity. Many people who go bankrupt and take actions that are considered bad that impact on others including committing crimes in order to smooth their gambling activities. This image has been awakened since a long time and will be difficult to change.
Why not to claim a thing bad if it is really bad for us. Gambling have same scenario, this is bad game for everyone so we are calling it bad every time. You are absolutely right that low favorable cases for the gambling to win is the main reason behind its being harmful. People come and play and mostly they just lose everything, so ultimate verdict for this gambling comes out as fatal.

Any view that's directed at the gambling of each people, of course., they also adjusting to their respective circumstances and also the environment in which they live.
Basically, I think it because gambling more lead to the drawing of fortunes/lucky only that's not based on other things besides luck until most people say that it is a negative thing that should be avoided and that it can also be related to the religion's rules.
Well., for me personally, it nothing's wrong.. just shouldn't feel too addict on it till very dependent on it without thinking about many other things and just focused on gambling only.

Another difference between trading and gambling is that in the long run in gambling, there is no way you can possibly win. The house edge prvents you from doing so, whilst in trading things are more unpredictable. In both cases you should never go all-in and put all your eggs in one basket, but there are times when trading can turn into gambling too. It really just depends on what type of action you take while trading for you to essentially be gambling your money away. Your emotions should never take the wheel in both trading and gambling, though the primary purpose of gambling is just to feel the rush and enjoy things, not to make money.

You don't have to be a vet know everything about anything..

Gambling is not bad,like many people said,addiction is.Alcohol is not bad,being an alcoholic is.Problem starts when a person who initially started gambling for fun is not able to come out of it.The fun part is over,now it's all about making more money.From which we can conclude what it all boils down to : Greed.And you will agree too,greed is bad.

It is just another business and also legal in many countries. People who buys lottery tickets are also gambling only.
Yes they're and no problem with it.It becomes a problem if people start believing in winning lotteries for their livelihood.

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?
Trading is a legit profession which pays even if the company goes bankrupt at some point.You go broke in gambling,you don't get the other amenities an organisation would offer for being a trader.

If you see the equation is yes, trading and gambling do have similarities. Trading has the risk of losing money as well as gambling that has the risk of losing money. But in trading, if we put a price but we fail we will lose money but not all. But in gambling if we bet with all our money and we lose in the bet then all our money will be lost, this is what makes everyone who does not like gambling will compare the gambling with the negative or illegal.

Then, not all countries legalize gambling. There are some countries that forbid their people to do gambling because it is not in accordance with the religion they teach. Most likely people who think that gambling is a negative thing is a person who is obedient to his religion. So naturally, there will always be pros and cons of gambling.

?

Your argument doesn't hold. Gambling is legal in most countries.
He didn't know that most of the countries legalized gambling and it's one of the bloodshed's of some countries who are living with this type of business just like Macau. The belief of gambling and being understood as negative activity was due to the irresponsible gamblers. They acted thing that they shouldn't for the sake of their addiction, selling house to gamble and almost everything. It's a norm that gambling portrays negatively and we are living in a society when majority says that salt is sweet, others that never tasted it would believe its sweet.

Why government legalize trading ?
Well, every government have their own policy to legalize trading activity or not. As I know, trading are control by world influence so let say if Trump declare war against South Korean, I'm sure most American stock will got it's affect while gambling are being control by house edge,codes,etc

There are enough countries where gambling is fully legalized though. Isn't gambling legal in the US in some states?
Do you have any options for online gambling if you're from the US or is online gambling just outright banned there?

Gambing being regulated is different than it being illegal...

I think it's because of the negative effects on gambling is more bigger than the positive like almost all gamblers always ended with lose, once the gamblers lose, they will thinking about the money that they lose. It's like 90% is negative and 10% is positive on gambling. Gambling also makes people become addicted like drugs and cigarettes do.

maybe this is the reason that gambling has been portrayed negatively and the truth is if we cannot control our self in gambling, we will losing our money. I heard that many parents say to their children about don't play gambling, you cannot leave from that places if you play gambling and I think many people realize about this but the problem is they still continue to play the games.

For me gambling is considered a very negative game of course can harm anyone who plunge in the gambling world, of course it is the risk of any gambling, but more in that it will be very bad if it continues to depth, unknowingly can damage the morale so that someone encourage to commit a crime, spend a lot of money, get drunk, leave family, rob and borrow, Is that true? or is this kind of opinion used as a scapegoat to justify italic behavior? if you are a gambler there must be something strange in your life and everyone will surely feel it.
So it depends on the perspective of someone in the country where their country lives when most of them think gambling is a negative thing maybe they live in a country that forbids gambling and that is the opposite, if you think it is a good bet then please run it, others advise not to make people change quickly, but with a very serious pleasure mistake it can make them aware.
