I do a little care. Cause if someone stranger saw me monitoring my games and then if he or she start giving me advice or start telling negative things about gambling, although I won't care but such things will make me uncomfortable and annoying. Although there's no problem if any of my friend saw that and tell me anything about gambling. But I don't like if someone stranger show his headache about my personal matter. Although I don't have problem but I'll feel a little awkward in that situation. That's why it's better to careful from beginning. Well nowadays Gamblers are increasing, what makes gambling a common thing in my country. But till now, i experience nobody cares what I'm doing or don't interfair in anyone'r personal thing

We may say what people say about us won't be a big problem, and it's up to me to do whatever I wish. In reality, we get worried when someone names us as gamblers. I personally felt it, and I'm not sure how others feel it. Days ago, I went to a relative's house and was just having a conversation. The aunt from the home asked what you were doing when the whole family was there. All of a sudden, I said I work online, and instantly she asked gambling right? I wasn't expecting it, and I managed the situation. If we're successful gamblers, then this might not be an issue. Being a failed gambler and people knowing it sounds bad.

Those hard core gamblers, it seems that they're not making a big deal when people knew what situation they encounter most often times failing. If they care about what people said unto them, there's significant improvement shoudl be done. But I think their worst than ever, more times they've been failing once again. Addiction leads them to loss everything, even their property and dignity.

I don't get why being labelled as a gambler would worry me, it is just what you call someone who gambles and it doesn't define what kind of a person you are. I've been called a lot of names by religious relatives including their friends because of my gambling habits and I couldn't care less what they think of me. just curious, what is a "failed gambler"? if it is a gambler who keeps losing then I don't see any reason why it would be an issue if people know that you are a "failed gambler", The majority of gamblers in the world are on the losing side, it is the most common thing being a gambler. that being said, if you are a gambler who has a family but prioritizes gambling over your responsibility to your family, then you should be ashamed of yourself.

Greetings everyone and happy new year all!

Okay, today I was actually out for a little business and it happens that I almost spent all my time wasted without me even having a smooth deal, but along the line I have few games that I have placed a bet and was wanting to view my games from my phone since gambling is now mobile, what I meant by mobile is that you can access your account at any place provided that you have an internet connectivity you will login to monitor your matches.

So when I logged in, someone close to me easily peep from my left hand side and noticed that I just opened my account monitoring my games, at this point what he said is "ahh you don join dem"? Meaning you have also belong to the groups of people that gambles?

On a lighter note, I just smile and asked him if there is anything wrong while gambling or while monitoring my games and he said nothing but just that few people he knew that are gambling almost turned useless.

This now triggered me to come ask here whether you cares about what people says or sees you as when gambling, I know there are people who don't know you from time or who doesn't believe that you are a gambler and if it happens that you came across such people and their reaction towards you goes other way round would you care about it or you just totally ignore them?

Let's discuss amicably

You know, here in our country, when people find out that you gamble, most of them think that it's not really good. Either they think you're an addict or they tell you that gambling
is not good because it ruins a lot of lives. 

That's why if I'm the only one, it's better that I know that I'm gambling, and at least only myself and God know that I don't have other people giving them a reason to think
bad things about others.

I feel like people around me or my family wouldn't take it well if people around me knew about my gambling

Are you 18+? Is gambling allowed in your country? Do you work? Do you have debts? If there are 3 yes and the last one is no, then I see no reason why would you bother about what other think about you gambling. What would change if everyone finds out about you gambling? Will family stop loving you? Will something change in the world? If the overall impression and your reputation is good, then there is nothing to worry about what people say about you gambling.
Yes, this is a valid question. remembering some of these things will definitely affect people's views regarding gambling, especially themselves. Well, the biggest problem is that if people are already used to viewing gambling as something negative and what's more, because there is real evidence of the negative effects of gambling around them, surely these people will view us negatively too. I myself am the same, it's better to avoid those views.

because, gambling is prohibited in my country, I have no debts, but gambling is also prohibited in my religion. So, if you are caught gambling, even by your own family, be prepared to be reprimanded and advised. That's why we must understand how people around us see gambling, if it's no mater, we can continue it as easy as we can. but, if there is certain condition, it's better to avoid it all or not telling others.

Since we live in a society, we cannot really fully discard what other people think about us as they can have a huge effect on our lives, so if your neighbors thought that you were a suspicious person, one day you may find yourself having to deal with the police, even if you did not really did anything wrong, so some level of engagement must be maintained with society at large, which is why I do not reveal that I am gambler to others in real life, and if necessary I may lie about it.
It's annoying to say that not many other people want you to be better than them, but they certainly feel good when you are worse off especially financially. Your gambling habits will become the subject of ridicule or ridicule in social life where gambling is still considered deviant behavior, so don't reveal it to them if you don't want to argue.

Someone will even accuse you of gambling or earning money from other illegal activities when you are more successful than them. The social life of most people is still old-fashioned, especially in terms of their mindset, but of course this mindset will increasingly disappear if you live in urban areas.

I can understand when you are younger and peer pressure is more prevalent, that people could easily be swayed or influenced by the opinions of others. However as you grow older, you tend to either fall into the camp that has it's metaphorical sh#t together or you have an issue like a gambling addiction. If you feel like you are in control, only gamble casually and could drop it without a second thought - I don't see why anyone would be ashamed of gambling. It is a choice of entertainment, some people will plow thousands into online games buying loot boxes, or chunk the same amount at a random person they like who streams content, I don't judge anyone who makes these sorts of decisions in their lifestyle.

Our life our responsibility and our decision so it is our rules that must be in place , because if we
will always give damn to what will others may say then what can we achieve in life?
caring must come from the heart and not because of what they can achieve from the situation
and from what they can gather from doing such so yes lets play and gamble based on our wanting.

Well, in as much as I'm seeing some gains in what I do which I use to pay some of my bills, then I'm not concerned about what people would because everybody has their life to live . However, people don't even know if I'm a gambler and besides I mostly place/bet my games online, and doesn't even visit the betting shop often, so hardly will people notice that I gamble.

If we take care of ourselves to gamble, we won't need to see what people are thinking. There are some gamblers who become so crazy about gambling that they are ready to do anything to gamble they are not aware of anything people say a lot about these gamblers. That's why gamblers don't have to worry about what people say if they are aware of gambling and not reckless.
correct as long as you are not disturbing nor hurting anyone people will never care about what you
are doing and of course as long as people are not seeing anything bad for themselves as well because
sometimes come to show concern because we are human of course not counting those stupid karen or
those who only cares for what they can find wrong to others.
Lol...well, it's your life, it's your money and your right as well. Those are my rules in this life even as I live my private life that is not even warranting anyone to poke their nose in my affairs. But at the same time, it is good that we listen to and care about some of them, especially if what they are telling you is the right thing, to say the least. This could be in many cases/forms, especially when the gambling activity is not positive for the life of the gambler and makes him irresponsible. The earlier you care about what people say for your own good, the better for you. But those gamblers who could be proud are those who are not gambling badly and are responsible in doing it.

Even if they do not win often, they are not such that gambling has turned their lives miserably. They have a lot to be proud of, but not the dirty gamblers who are only addicts. Such has caused the attention and interference of people to themselves, so what do you expect? This is why the "cared and uncared attitudes" of a thing are subjective and we should treat them based on the personality of the persons in question.

It's not always about being headstrong, it can't always vindicate us.

If you can deal with everything then people don't need to listen. No one will have the courage to speak if their control power is high. When you start trying to change a gambling habit you may feel midway through what's the point of giving up then immediately remember why you started and what the outcome might be. The results of any good practice are usually good.

The reason for leaving gambling shouldn't be that people don't like it but the reason should be whether this field gives you something beneficial or not. We should not think about people but we should think about ourselves because no one will give us money or something else if we leave all the better ways for them.

There must be ups and downs in your life but if you get involved in something and your achieved the outcomes which totally consists of loss then you should leave That field. No one can force you to do good things and leave a bad one but if you think deeply then you can differentiate between the true platforms that are suited well for your successful future.

As you rightly said, it matter of what gambling have to offer you, how far have your life improve, in what way have gambling been beneficial to you. This are factors any will take into consideration before acting, but simply acting because someone else made a comment is dumb and insensitive of any individual.

No one will come to save you, neither give you a helping hand or really care, it matter of you vs you, what ever you do people must make comment good or bad, so why give a fuck, it is subjective and should be your own decision after weighing the prons and cons to either quit or move on.

Quote from: Litzki1990
I feel like people around me or my family wouldn't take it well if people around me knew about my gambling and that's why I try to gamble as much as I can. Some people can take gambling negatively and some people can take gambling normally, we must understand that and we have to gamble according to position. If people accept gambling naturally then there is nothing wrong with people knowing about my gambling, but where people perceive gambling as a negative, if I discuss gambling with them, they will take it in a very bad way and this is something I have never done. I think everyone should keep this secret so that others have their respect or others can't make any bad comments about me.
Taking gambling normally in your environment, it will make people to like the way you are gambling, and they will not see you as a bad gambler in the environment like the way they use to seen addicted gamblers in the environment.

 If gambling is not a crime in your country, you can gamble publicly for people to know that you are a gambler but if gambling is not illegal in your country you can hide yourself to gamble without allowing anybody to know you are a gambler.

Ensure you have what is generating you money to gamble and you don't depend on your parent money to gamble, that is the normal way you can gamble for people around you to respect you.

We have always a choice, to either gamble wherever we are, in public transportation or in a coffee shop or whenever we would love when we're outside our homes. Or, to do it secretly in our rooms or wherever we are comfortable with and no one is going to know that. That's the way it goes for most of the gamblers that want their spaces not to get invaded by any stranger and they don't want others to see them gamble in real life because it's either, they're protecting their reputation and profession and don't want to be known as a gambler.

That's fine and we're all for that. As long as you are gambling with your money and you're not affecting anyone with what you have. That's the way to go because if you're always going to get affected with those people that are telling bad things about you when you gamble, you have to deal with it or deal with them or do something about it so that you will not hear them anymore.
These days we live in a society that encourages people to share everything, all the time, but not only this is not healthy, it is also bad for you as you are leaving yourself exposed to the people that may not like you, and that will use the information about your gambling against you to try to damage your reputation, and in that case it is better to simply never reveal this aspect about yourself to anyone, since it is really none of their business if you enjoy gambling from time to time or not.

You're right there; that's why other gamblers become immune to the thoughts of other people who know nothing and don't know them personally. There are really judgmental people. When you send them what they have to say, it will only annoy you and ruin your gambling strategy.

That's why what other gamblers do is keep it a secret and don't tell others; even if someone else finds out, it's okay because they don't know you either, as long as the important thing is that they enjoy gambling.

If Someone that stranger to me doing this in public? he will face only two things either I will punch Him or will surely shout on him for tapping me and for caring about my business when he should have face his own.
Haha, don't be so harsh. I know that when people are very much meddling with what we do, we should just tell them to go away from us. But I understand that when you become frustrated and didn't take those warnings you have given that person to stop what he's been doing because it is very uncomfortable to you. If it's too annoying and it took me 2-3 warnings to stop then I'd probably raise my voice as well but I'd be mild not to shout.

Maybe when people know that there is a difference between an addicted gambler and a normal gambler, then I won’t be hiding my gambling activities any longer because I will make everyone who knows I am a gambler understand that I only gamble for fun and am not addicted to gambling.
But that's the problem in our society. If you're a normal gambler, they'd classify you still as an addicted gambler. So, whether you explain it to them or not, you've been judged already and that's why we shouldn't care to what they say because they are careless to what they say to the gamblers that they don't even know in real life. We're already immune to these bad impressions that we're getting from the society just because we're gamblers. And if we're the one to judge these people, we'll still be judged for being judgmental to them.

But there are times that it could start good conversations. I trust 2 neighbors of mine and they are close to me whenever we go out for a drink I always tell them about my gambling experience for the week especially if it's about sports and they will tell me theirs too.
I guess it will depend on the person you are talking to. Some would just not accept it especially if they are traditional who think gambling is still evil nowadays. My relatives were like that when I was young, gambling is prohibited in our house in a strict mode.
But time flows, gambling had become a big industry today and it's been in the advertisements ni social media, I guess many people are accepting it now unlike before or it became just a normal thing.
