For me it happened once why are you gambling its a sin in our life I replied its my wish I can do what ever I wanted.
It won't affect your image if you are not going to tell it to anyone, especially to your family and friends, besides, there is no reason for you to tell it since they are just going to say bad things about you. It would be better if you will make these kind of things private, for us to have a peace of mind against the judgmental society. You don't have to boast it to everybody that you are playing gambling and you are making money in gambling.
In fact, just earn and play in gambling quietely, and let your success make the sound.
in result you would mess up your work and your entire life.Its better not to think on what others do think of about gambling.Theres no need to prove out because you wont get nothing if do anybody admires you.Admire for what? becoming a good and profitable gambler? I dont think so.I dont know whats the thing on your mind but it sounds dumb to have that kind of mindset or that kind of plan.Gambling is never been a bad thing since its being created for sole purpose of entertainment but peoples greed on what makes them look bad because of the circumstances that they are facing on.
