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 just the same as gambling in the sense that both are betting money to earn some profit. In trading, most likely you have a trading plan which may last for weeks or months before you can have your desired your profits while in gambling it is viewed as a get rich quick scheme so there is a higher tendency that people will get addicted to it because of the easy way to make money.

Gambling may be viewed as enjoyable to some people while some are betting their lives on it hoping to get lucky. The problem with gambling is the instant rewards you get even though you have less effort but earn more that's why some get addicted to it. Trading may be buy and sell only but it takes a lot of time to actually be profitable with it.

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.

Because most of the time people heard that gambler ruined their life, abandon their family and got debt every where, and some even steal to gamble, trading and gambling is not the same, in trading we are speculating the price and even if we speculate the wrong movement, our money won't gone all, in gambling we make the wrong judgement then all of our money is gone

you must be already heard that from gambling people can ruin themself and their families because they were being an addicted in gambling and during i heard compare the positive things from gambling with negative things then the negative things are pretty much dominate if we involved in gambling world even though gambling can be considered as industry or the way to making money but we can't ruled out the effect from gambling

Aside from the negative effect on the gambler's family family and the gambler itself because of the gambler's addiction. We know how religion opposed gambling, so even before a gambler started playing he already know that it is already considered wrong. Often, gamblers who became addicted or not are likely to show changes in attitudes once they started playing. I don't know but maybe because of the money loss. Gambling had been considered as a good past-time games especially by people who wants to spend their afternoon unto something other than sleeping. Gambling online and offline is both playing gambling and as far as I know, even if it is fun, what we do will be wrong once we start doing bad things because of it.

There are actually several reasons though, all over the world where humans are, everybody believes that hardworking in other to make money is a noble thing to do and that is a default social code everyone must abide to. But for gambling, its more like someone not doing anything expect his $5 to turn to $10 which is an insult to the majority of others that have to work several hours to be able to turn the $5 to $10 in addition of how it will surely leave one party in a disadvantageous position which does not happen in the case of work.

Another factor is because, virtually in all family is where you have someone whose is so unfortunate that lost everything he got through gambling and no right thinking parent would want to advise his ward to have engage in that. But with several reason why its not, the quest to outshine the other, pursue more money with lesser effort tendencies in human continues to make the vice a lucrative one all over the world.

Unfortunately, people (gamblers) consider gambling as a full job and this is a wrong belief and the truth that this field is just for fun. Furthermore, the fact that gambling portrayed negatively through the most of the people, because they became addictive due to use this field in a bad way. And they cannot even control themselves, especially in every great loss.

In fact, I think the big issue in the mind of people. For example, Why people cannot quit gambling?
For me, the main reason is they cannot overcome their internal conflicts (like, The false hope that they will win, Fear of losing all money, and debts...) , so this is a psychological problems in the most of them. that's why the most pervasive thing in whole forum or internet in general is the disadvantages of gambling.

Every provably-fair system is not very ''provably-fair'', they will add something that looks very insignificant which makes all the difference in the odds. Since now gambling have gone online it is easier for them to exploit the users with sophisticated algo which will beat anyone trying to make a profit out of them.

Gambling is not in anyway a source of income, it is just for entertainment and the people offering the service obviously want to make loads of cash from greedy people instead of giving them any.

I myself had a gambling addiction and lost a significantly big amount of money while trying to make up for the loss. Many people will think that they won't become greedy and just cashout while winning, but thats something which is hardly possible, because the rewardingness of these games are pretty addictive and we will risk anything to get that feeling once more.

Gamble for fun and not for profit and everything will be alright. Things can get complicated in a negative way when people get too excited after a couple of wins and think they could earn a living gambling which is attainable only for a 0.1% of very successful pro bettors.

If you gamble for fun, your throwing your money as well just for fun? HA HA HA. Quite funny mate! You should have thought first what to say. We can never please everybody to do what exactly we what. Maybe you should have used entertainment rather because it is much appropriate with gambling. We can never get assured that everything will be alright when people get to go gambling just because for fun. Of course, most people here are greedy for money which makes it possible for illegal gambling casinos raided. Many negative outcomes are much recorded than the positive ones.

It's because of the man's actions and greediness. We all know that the real purpose of gambling is for fun and entertainment but then again too much is too much. A man's willingness to have more than what he already have creates the idea of greediness. In which greediness aims to destroy the sole purpose of gambling. Upon reaching to some point in which a man begin to be addicted to the system, the outcome of his actions is horrendous. Which contributes to a negative reputation for the Gambling industry. The possibility of a man's under his addiction is devastating, it destroy's the balance of life.

Yes I’d say, answering to OP, that the difference between trading and gambling is that picture of a gambling addict. There are also cases of people who commit fraud while working in a bank to hide their losses from trading but not nearly as many as the guy next door having gambling problems and ruining his life.

Although I believe that problematic gambling behavior is a result of previous problems.

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 can destroy a person life totally when they lose, just like smoking once you start you cannot quit easily. People that is holding a job will be unable to focus on his job as he is too into the gambling addiction which makes him lose interest in everything and only want to gamble.

They consider gambling as a bad thing of earning money because of two things:
1- They thought that gambling is too risky, because the most of gambling games needs a pure luck, Some gamblers maybe become addicted and they lose their control in gambling and maybe they loss a lot of money because of that.
2- They think that gambling is a sin. In some countries in the world, gambling is considered like a prohibited activity, because it contradict some religions.

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

Indeed, the people who frequently access this gambling is the problem not the game it self. Gambling is created to make a quick cash and for entertainment however, there's a little chance for you to win in this field. Players became addicted upon it because they cannot control their emotion, as they lose they will tend to play again to retieve of what they have lost but they didn't know they are getting to it and become addict and these are the reason why the image of gambling became bad.

Well obviously because it drains people of their money. We all know that it's the attitude ofnthese people that does that and gambling is just a tool, but none the less, it's already incorporated with greed. Many people will always see gambling in a bad light because of abusive people's behavior towards it

Gambling is definitely not just another business. It is like saying about alcohol that it is just another drink comparing it to non-alcoholic drinks. Gambling is addictive and that's a fact regardless of whether we like it or not. No way I'm trying to say that gambling should be banned or anything like that. I like to play poker myself and I play dice from time to time, and I, like you, think that there's almost no difference between trading and gambling, but I think we should be very cautious about both. Generally speaking, we should be very cautious about any business from which we may expect big profits in a short period of time.

The reason why gambling is consider a bad thing is because of how it has been represented by bad cases and how it is tied to bad people, sure in some religions it is stated that gambling is bad and unethical, but with some people where gambling can lead to addiction and how it is a waste of money, and how it could tear lives apart, and also the fact that they think there is no work put in it it is all about luck, but one does not make assumption about things he never tired it, and that is what society is all about, we are all doing and believing what we have been told.

By right gambling is just another business in another industry however because of many people either too engross or addicted to gambling causing a lot of problems to others or their own life. When someone lose all their money on the gambling table they will resort to either borrow money from loanshark even attempt to rob people in order to continue their gambling which is a vicious circle and never ending. This cause many social problems and destroy many families.
