Topic: Why gambling is portrayed negatively almost everywhere? - page 26. (Read 2109 times)

I am not that much religious person but still gambling is really worst thing according to me. If you have invested there any gambling platform will it give return to end of the day. It is not all a true thing mate.
I see the gambling just wasting your fund on dustpin. Instead of that you guys devoting gambling can donate the poor people near to your home side mate. Even government and shit politicians getting bribe and allowing people loose the money if they are third world country too.

Gambling is already part of the culture, history and tradition. You may say that it's normal and it's not bad because your mind is open and you know that it's a type of business model.

But as we are talking about the negative thought that is being portrayed by others, it's hard to stop this mindset.

I also heard that social taboo before, gambling was there even a long time ago there is gambling. I think there's no religious may eliminate gambling because it is traditional since people know a currency.
Gambling as of now is normal and it is not bad, but in the eyes of the religious group it is still looking bad and as a part of evil and that concept will be passed through generations by generation.

It is a social taboo and it's already part of the belief in the society through religious teachings that gambling is evil, negative and bad. You know that beliefs are passed from generations to generations and its changing. Maybe in the future the thought about gambling will become positive when governments are promoting good benefits of gambling or sharing those people who got their fortune through it. We can't change this stand about gambling for now but time will come that it will.

nothing wrong with gambling but for searching the income with doing gambling, I don't think that it will a good idea because people need to use their own money to win the other money. and not all people can win in everytime they play the games and only those people which have a big in luck in the games that will win the money. I prefer to do trading especially trading cryptocurrency because in trading, although we are lost some money like in a few months ago, we still have a chance to make another profit like what we seen today. but in gambling, once you are lost, your chance to recover your money is small and this is not recommended to stay at the gambling and it's better to search another way to make an income. and if you cannot trading, then maybe you can search another way to make money so you can earn some money for your life.

We can't take the fact that people always see gamblers wasting their money to non sense things even though gamblers says it just purely for fun. While in reality, gamblers are the one who really made a bad image for themselves while the society stigmatized it. Maybe the society don't get it and this will pass through generations.

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.

Yes! Gambling can make you broke if you can't control your greed. That's true for even trading. I have seen people asking questions on how to recover their thousands of dollars losses in trading. I have also seen people winning big in trading and gambling both. I know the owner of wheel99 website had won 23 BTC jackpot from Bustadice. I have seen a person won 37 bitcoins from FortuneJack on March 30th this year. When we look at the negative side of gambling, we also should look at the sunny side of it as well. 37 bitcoins, is a huge amount in my country and I can start my own restaurant business in my city after paying off my mortgage. That is a life changing moment. Gambling helped a lot of people to change their life forever in good way. We must factor in those things when we factor in the negative things while talking about gambling.

It's entirely your choice whether to gamble or not, but certainly that doesn't give rights to anyone to show gambling in a negative way of earning money just because of the risk it involves.

  

This thought system been running through centuries now, if you remember the story of the fox who did not get grapes, he called it sour.

Same is the case with non gamblers, they have made it a social taboo and they try to outcast all who indulge in it.

I believe it's more of a perception value, I been to parties where gamblers and non gamblers were cool with it, then other outings where gamblers were considered trators and said they'll suffer the wrath of Jesus.

Honestly gambling is good for everyone if played in a good manner, however the negative vibes should end.

well here since the majority of people are Muslims , gambling is forbidden so religious guys hate gambling and think that gamblers are stupid people who are ready to bet their houses when they face a losing streak

but the young people these days don't think that way , there are many gamblers in Syria and the young generation is realizing more and more that gambling can be either profitable or at least fun

it's a matter of responsibility , some gamblers are truly sick and need to get help but let's see that 95% of them are just doing fine  
but for sure can't define it as 100% bad thing to do

how not, gambling is a negative thing, especially among people who are strong with religion, any religion prohibits the practice of gambling is considered unlawful, so people look negative with it, because gambling there will be a disadvantaged, not only that negative impact gamble is very large, ranging from violence, theft to the most murderous.

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.

Why are we even trying to deceive ourselves here? Anyone can gamble, as that is their choice and I do not have anything against it, as long as they are cool with what they are doing but comparing that with trading is a big NO for me.

In as much as they are both prediction game, in gambling you are making predictions and expecting your luck to pull you through which most of the time we know where that leads, but in trading, you depend on your skills, knowledge and the tools available at your disposal, then hope that it works out as planned which even if it does not, you know how to pull out.

With good trading skills, you are going to be doing much for yourself, but where does skills and strategy come to play in gambling except to totally depend on luck?

The only scenario where you can classify trading and gambling to be on the same level is when you do not have any trading skills or strategy and all you do is gamble your position in the market.

Take it or leave it, there is nothing much to get from gambling and those who expect so much from it are usually the ones that end up addicted to it and probably you should have known by now that gambling was never meant to be a money making venture while trading on the other hand is a profession, and if you treat it as such, you are going to be far better in the long run than 99% of every gambler. If you really want to consider investing, be the house edge as they are the ones making the money, not the gamblers.

I think those post that you have read proves that there is nothing to look forward to in gambling. It will just make you broke, so broke that you will have no place to live. I have seen a lot of people experience the same thing and I don't want that to happen to anyone else. The best thing to do is to stay away from it. There is nothing wrong  if you do it, as long as your money can afford it and don't get addicted to it.

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.

I think the same stands true for Alcohol too in some countries, particularly mine. It is seen as a bad omen and people rarely drink in front of their families. Gambling too is seen very negatively and person loses his image in the society. Such rumors are only spread because people get way too indulged in gambling and lose touch with their normal lives. If anyone can do gambling soberly, I don't see any harm with it.

Both are the same for me, trading is seen as a good way of making money because you don't lose your money immediately I mean you could lose it all but it doesn't happen right away compared to gambling. Also gambling can be seen everywhere in videogames, board games, lottery, bingo, arcade games and for trading tbh there's not much you can find.

Well, ever since at the time of Christ and traditionally gambling is portrayed as negative or even considered it as a sin, maybe because it always involve money and mostly if a person is addicted in gambling nothing can stop him and they will continue to gamble in better and worst situation and until such time that he will used money that not intended to gamble and gambler mostly no more time for family and prioritize gambling after all.

This can be solved easily but the problem is many people do set up goals for them , do assure themselves that they are going to stop at the right time and that they will be satisfied with the profit but in reality it's the complete opposite a gambler is never happy with the profit which he had set before

Everyone knows the negative impact of gambling games, it has become commonplace because there is a lot of evidence that almost everyone who plays gambling will get rid of bad lives and even many people who feel their lives destroyed after knowing Bitcoin. This is so significant that we are facing something so bad because of the huge impact of gambling. I am very sad when I see there are many people who have nightmares after they know gambling game. Strongly not recommended for someone to play gambling !!
