Topic: Why gambling is portrayed negatively almost everywhere? - page 7. (Read 2100 times)
It is because it is what we normally heard that gambling can only ruin our life. People have different opinion but for me, gambling is only for those who's money is flooding and not to those who only gamble to try their luck to make an instant money. More likely that it is only design for rich people and sorry for those who don't have enough money to gamble.
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?
It's not just a social taboo but a religious one too , and people will be afraid to show their gambling habit to the others in fear of being judged or rejected by their environment that will most certainly contain religious or judgmental people ..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.

Everyone knows very well the stereotype of that homeless person who lost it all because of gambling and are familiar with tv show and movies showing people in very bad conditions due to their gambling habit , yet everyone get excited whenever watching millionaires that made their fortune from gambling such as Dan Blizerian or gambling movies where the characters get easily rich ..
So if we get rid of this paradox and schizophrenia that the majority of the world is living , gambling won't be portrayed negatively anymore .
Yes, gambling is always considered negative by everyone because it can harm yourself .. because gambling will make people lose consciousness because it can be addicted and can fall poor if continue to play gambling .. and when playing can trigger the lust without control and it is very self-harmful ..
Gambling portrayed negatively because of the main reason gambling can have a negative effect to the person involved. And also I think gambling can lead a person to be addicted,greedy and some will commit crimes just to get a money to feed their addiction.
It is not like “Can have” no, it must have. We are certain and assured about this thing. All those expert gamblers of their times, once they get to know what they have been doing in their lives since times, they curse them selves. They start yelling out at them and regretting but of what use now? Their advices never goes in favor of gambling, not a single one. Keep yourself away from this harmful game.

Gambling addiction is same like drugs/smoke addiction though and the result is always negative, i'm sure there are many lifes that become ruined because of gambling and also gambling is a sin on all religions. Even in my country, gambling is banned here.I will attribute the negative portrayal of gambling to the individual lives that many gamblers or people seen to be gambling live out there which seem to not go down well with society because there have been many gamblers who are irresponsible at home, some do hard drugs, engage in thievery and other indecent behaviors.

Maybe because of their religion,in that they have consider gambling is a sin thing to do so they want others also to move away from the gambling.But gambling can be good or bad that how we are using them the negativity keeps increasing because most of the players getting addicted to gambling and lost their lives.
This is one of the reason but not the supreme one. Actually three are so few countries where pole follow religion or you can say those counties are regulating over their religious laws. But majority countries are just making shit out of their citizens. They allow them legally to gamble anywhere. For such, sometimes gambling is promoted in a positive and sometimes in a bad way.

The best way to put that is simply because some people bet WAY MORE then they are willing to lose, if you just put a small percent back that doesn't hurt your finances, I do not see a problem!!!
Control is the key!
in my opinion, any act or substance that harms humans beings in any way whether mentally, physical, emotionally or financially comes under the prohibited category. Gambling has ruined lives of thousands of players and yet many are destined to meet the same end. It is very obvious to portray this negatively so that people will stay away from it and this is best in their own interests. This game can turn life of a gambler into a living hell within a blink of an eye.Control is the key!
Risk level is too high that’s the reason why they portrayed gambling negatively.
You may lose all your money within few seconds and that’s what people are afraid of.
Don’t compare it with trading, there is a huge difference. In trading you have variety of options to minimize your loss but in gambling you don’t have a choice.

Because most of the true stories that you will hear about people who have been exposed to gambling always end to a bad fate. So if we make a ratio of people that has changed their life to positive or negative in gambling then I could say that only one of a million gamblers experience a good one.
Because in some other places from the start gambling is considered a crime and not a good example to others gambling can ruin your life, your own family many people believe they can earn fast in gambling but the truth is they are making casino owners the real rich and not the gamblers.
I think almost the whole world treat gambling negatively. It is a bad habit and a gambler has no respect in the community and even in his family. The reason is that a regular gambler loses everything and has no care for his family future. When a gambler loses money on a table, he borrows money and leaves himself in debts which ruin his life and his family as well.While some were able to invest some brains into their skull to realize nothing good comes out of it and gamble accordingly or not gamble at all.
A larger percentage of gamblers just usually end up losing their should entirely to gambling which is why they screw up so bad and anyone who points at them would be like, gambling destroyed his life, so in that way, gambling will definitely be portrayed to be negative. If it is not so then it might lead to more destruction of innocent gamblers. At least this way could be considered as a method to save them.

gambling as my own reason are games for fun not games to earn money, seriously a lot of rich people addicting in gambling the result is lose it money and the family become broken so if this scenario are happen to rich people how much more for the normal people earning in their job exact for the needs of the family and goes into gambling because they want to earn easy money but and the end their money become lose beacuse of playing gambling, sad to say playing gambling are for those people have an lot extra money ready to lose.
Gambling is portrayed negatively because it can affect someone's life in a bad way like putting all your time in gambling instead of spending it with your family and you will also spend your hard earned money in gambling until you go broke. These characters are the effects when you get addicted in gambling.
I totally agree with you. Most of the gamblers lose almost everything in gambling and they do not think of their family future. They rein their lives and finally they go in debts. Other bad thing is that a gambler has no respect in society. These are the factors that gambling is treated negatively in the world and nobody is in favor of regular gambling.This is one of the reasons that due to greed they do not even realize how amount they have being losing in the bets and still they will keep gambling looking at others they have won so sometime even they will won it. Thus few countries have this banned and do not encourage it.
Hopefully it will guide the people for future improvements on their lives, and thinking that better results might change their bad habits. Why am I saying its a bad habit? Its because it involves the financial status which most of us needed to establish, specially when you're having a family to feed in order to live. That's how worst gambling was turning negative to most of the people everywhere, due to more families has been ruined by this gambling activities and being addicted is the most common reason.

maybe we can read on the news or watching television that said people become stress because of gambling, some of them kill themselves because they cannot pay the money that they borrowed from someone because he is losing much money on gambling. but this is not just for gambling, I mean this could happen with the other things too. but gambling has been a bad habit that has a negative comment and many people try to avoid from the gambling itself.
There are only a few cases where the gambling has been positive but in most cases all news concerning gambling have been negative so far with people losing their homes and losing their entire fortune.
Yes, for that reason it can be self-destructive because gambling can make you lose everything and can also make you fall into poverty.
Victory in gambling is just a matter of luck only and in the end you will still end up with defeat as well, and gambling will make you become addicted and there are still many bad or negative sides if you keep playing gambling.

It's mainly because of the bad cases (people losing their money, houses , lives ). If people are not careful they could go on the downward spiral and get out of hand really fast, which can ruin their lives, family etc. It's looked more of a disease than an actual way of making money. For example poker players are not looked down on (in most countries) because other than luck, it involves other skills like psychology, maths and so on. And in other games like slots, roulette etc. it's 100% luck and it's considered seeking the easy way to make money without any effort. As I said, it's not the gambling itself but the community that brings the bad name.
Maybe because of their religion,in that they have consider gambling is a sin thing to do so they want others also to move away from the gambling.But gambling can be good or bad that how we are using them the negativity keeps increasing because most of the players getting addicted to gambling and lost their lives.
