Topic: Do you care about what people say about you gambling? - page 12. (Read 4689 times)

In general I would not pay much attention to what people say about me gambling, but I would pay attention to what my family say about it. They are my backup plan, my insurance from going over the edge. I think, that it is no use to listen and pay much attention to what strange say about you in general. As they are not 100% familiar with me and situation I am in currently. And I hate when people put labels on others without being in their skin.

Even in countries in which gambling may be legal, there could still be many people out there which have a very negative view of it, and if that is the case, it is better to not be very vocal about the fact that you like to gamble, besides now with online gambling being so accessible and widespread, the truth is that unless you go out of your way to tell people that you like to gamble, no one will ever know this is the case, as you can gamble from your home and do so privately.

If gambling is not prohibited in the country, then there is definitely no reason for concern, I absolutely don’t care what anyone thinks about gambling, I understand perfectly well that someone may not like it or it doesn’t fall within their beliefs. The best strategy is: don’t ask yourself yet don't say anything and think twice before answering.

Really, I do not see a reason why we should care about strangers, they are not known to us and neither do we know them, so it is better it stays like that, who cares? But to those who know me and I know them, fine, I can accord them some kind of familiarity and respect, but still, they should not go beyond their boundaries because they have their lives to live and I have mine to live as well. Don't forget that the moment you give people a chance to play or talk down on you and give them the chance to try to be the perfect one who knows the best way to behave, from that moment you are losing it and might be looking down on yourself as well.

What I do not support is irresponsibility, and if my lifestyle is responsible and I am gambling as well, who cares? I don't think anyone will even have the nerve to walk to me to condemn what I am doing. They will, of course, think twice, unless they are driving religion to it, which is also left for me to give it a listening ear.

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

Well for me, it’s not a problem it’s just a matter of understanding between you and the person in asking you all that Sometimes you can decide to ignore the person, and not even reply to the person action because of the act and also in the other hand, you can decide to attack the person because of that statement, but I just feel like ignoring the person is the best thing because the person is just surprised that he seen you gambling and what people talk about gambling to me is just for you to educate the person if the person doesn’t know about gambling and tell him or she does you can also gamble responsibly it’s not just how people look at gambling. That is the way it is .

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?

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.

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.

Let's discuss amicably

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.

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.
