Gambling is considered not good because it is risky and the nature of humans is full of greed and ways to chase for money.
Gambling makes some people prone to losses and addiction because of this. So they against it because they want people to know how gambling is. I am not discussing about culture or religion but general. I mean where gambling is legal but parents against it.

If you win huge from gambling. It is money. They will surely celebrate your achievement while they will still advice you to stop gambling to use the money to do or invest in a good business.

Know that people and some parents may go against gambling, but that does not mean that they have not gambled before or still gambling secretly.

[electronicash]

its only taboo to kids where parents keep it secret but when you get older, your parents openly talks about it with you and anyone one older. but its true though that you are not well liked when you lose money and get addicted to gambling. but when get are successful with gambling, everybody seem to be your friend regardless of how you got your wealth.

morality is just negotiable when it comes to wealth. you know the saying " behind every great fortune there is a crime"

Yes, gambling is indeed perceived as an immoral activity by many race and even organizations and even religions. And this is so, not really because gambling itself is a sin, taboo or a crime but because majority of gamblers have a misconception and the wrong idea about gambling and this has resulted to gambling causing more harm than good to the economy at large. Very few gamblers really knows what gambling is all about and how to navigate around the gambling sector to avoid unnecessary losses, and this is why people are afraid of the negative impacts of gambling. But that doesn't mean that it's applicable to everyone, just as you've rightly said, and this is the very reason why gambling isn't completely ban in several countries, because even in the midst of those that allow gambling to harm them, there are still those who really understands gambling and are still profiting from it. So not everyone hates or despise gamblers and whether it's from gambling or another source, everyone celebrates a win because it's a good thing.

Because gambling is considered bad for some people because this will lead to negative impacts including in their social, how many cases occur because of gambling then many people will consider it bad in their eyes.

When they win a large amount of money, of course many people welcome and celebrate with their victory, but be sure there are those around you who are jealous of this and consider money bad, then it will be the perspective of others.

You won a large amount. If they benefit from the money you got they will surely celebrate with you. We keep a large circle we care.

The question of morality only arise when you as a result of your gambling spree end up homeless. They will not be happy as they care for you as well. I wouldn't be happy myself seeing a brother fall from grace. They will look at gambling as a sin from then on.

It's not a clear reversal, you think the family that celebrates the winning will let him continuous gambling with all his money?
Besides, the society won't change their views either, do you think someone who is against gambling will celebrate an unknown person who has won money? No, they won't! Most of the celebration you see is from the casinos and sportsbooks that will promote the huge winnings to get more people to gamble!

My country was colonized by a religious country back in the day but they also brought gambling here in my country aside from other foreign cultures influences. I just don't understand how it works because in the holy scriptures it was really not good to gamble. I personally do not celebrate winnings from gambling I just keep the money I got for future usage or as an emergency funds but unfortunately I only got few winnings and they're not that huge so yeah nothing to celebrate.

I think gambling is scary because of the inherent addiction is causes to many people and since it's a general problem exhibit by many people, that's why you see that some countries restrict their people from gambling or even ban it. If you check the amount of money some people spend in gambling in some countries, yoy will understand that gambling is a big business.

When you say wealth, how many people can you count around you that gamble and has made wealth from gambling, I bet yi will count 19 people with gambling addiction before you count 1 lucky wealthy person from gambling.

Is it? I mean I don't know somebody who experienced that way. I mean somebody who has been hated by his close relatives turned to him when he won a huge money in gambling.

Anyway, some sees gambling as a negative one because of the effects that it can bring to a person. The fact that gambling can be a disorder and it's very hard to cure compared to other addiction out there might be one of the reason why some countries see it as immoral. When people sees the negative side of gambling for most of the time, obviously they will view it as a negative one.

People frown not only at gamblers, but also at how they gamble. When a gambler is known for reckless gambling, those around him will undoubtedly criticize him. To me, this is normal. You would not expect people to applaud such a gambler.

However, when such a person wins big, people tend to celebrate him, not because they are pleased that he gambled recklessly, but because people are good at showing fake loyalty when a person becomes wealthy, whether by hook or crook.

Unfortunately, it often happens that a gambler wants to win a huge prize and it is very difficult for him, he spends a lot of money, does not sleep at night. But when he really wins a lot of money, he understands that he has not become happier. After all, for an inveterate gambler, the very anticipation of the game is often the most important thing. That is why families often get divorced because of prizes. They do not make them happier.

[Husires]

If the probability of winning-to-losing in gambling was 50% or less, most gambling services would stop or reduce the advertising associated with them, but the probability may be 30% or less, meaning that you have a 30% chance of making a profit or much less than that, which means that out of every 100 times you gamble, you will go your home sad 70 times or more.

For the rich family I think money won't buy happiness and large wins from casino will likely make their quarel  worse.

For poor family, the large win from gambling I think the money will make them happy that for several months to a year they won't be thinking gambling is bad.

Most people care less about the source of your wealth, they just want to know that you are successful. To some others, when you are successful, whatever means and methods you used to find your way to the top are justified. There are a few individuals, however, that have strong principles and will never accept the money from gamblers if they know they do not support gambling or those people gambling.
