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.
It is simple math. Odds are always against player, you will most likely lose money but everyone is hopping for big win - which isn't impossible but it is rare.
I have seen people comparing gambling with alcohol addiction.
They are based on lots of studies. Research some.
I have seen people actively trying to discourage others from getting into gambling industry. What's wrong with gambling?
Nothing at all as long as you are responsible.
It is just another business and also legal in many countries. People who buys lottery tickets are also gambling only.
Yes, but you don't see people buying lottery tickets for all money they have. There is huge difference between lottery and gambling at casinos. You mentioned alcohol - one glass of beer every day won't harm you but several bottles will.
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?
Apples and oranges.
