Topic: Do you care about what people say about you gambling? - page 16. (Read 4212 times)

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

I think we all deserve some level of privacy with the things that we do, just because you gamble doesn't mean everyone must know that you gamble for real. Most youth today spent their time to gamble when they are bored and for other reasons but because youth gamble shouldn't give you the assumption that all youth gamble, so I don't know where people are going to know if you actually gamble in real unless you say it to them yourself.

The only place I will think people should care about gambling is if their doctrine doesn't support gambling, if you're a person with faith and you value it very well, then that's another case differently but this doesn't mean anyone has the right to tell you what you do, what you do is entirely up to you and what your mind tells you about gambling. I know Islam is one of the doctrine that disallowed gambling and makes people see you as person who is defile the teaching of prophet.

This is not a question to ask because in this life,if you are somebody that is always been scared of what people say about you,I don't think you can ever do anything your mind says you should do.Therefore,I know people see gamblers as people who won't become anything,and people who are wasting money,but I don't have to look at that because those same people that were insulting you for gambling are the same people that will celebrate you for winning big if you should eventually win big through gambling.It very good that we keep on trying because nobody knows where the luck will come from.

Honestly i don't have to care about what other people say regarding why am gambling as long as i know am not gambling irresponsibly, we don't have to go by the voice of the crowd sometimes because they are nothing than nuisance in some cases, whereas when we are only doing something that is not right, should then be when we have to consider the advise from other people concerning what we are doing, everyone have his freedom to say whatever thing they feels about us or gambling.

It will hurt you a lot when important family members or your own people discuss your bad habits and blame you.  However, it is foolish to care if an outsider or a stranger discusses your gambling issue because it is completely your personal matter to spend your money and time on gambling. Gambling is not always a bad thing.  Sometimes gambling becomes a good medium to give us a lot of happiness even in our worst moments when only you can understand the feelings of gambling.  So I don't think it's logical to care if anyone other than your family members discuss your gambling.

In any case, each player has close people who can influence the player’s desire when playing gambling. For example, a player can be furious and make inappropriate bets compared to his wallet, but he will be afraid of his wife if she finds out about this, but still walk on the edge of the blade. And as soon as she finds out about this, he will be afraid of her and she will yell at him, threatening him with divorce and children. I think that this would definitely make me stop, because if I lose my family, then why win in gambling or I don’t understand the moments.

People will not talk much about your good habits or good deeds but will talk a lot about your negative sites just like gambling is one of your negative sites. Gambling cannot be a good addiction. so when someone talks about your gambling it will ruin your reputation so who cares. while not always caring, it is definitely caring when multiple people start discussing your gambling habhit. for this reason it may be a good idea to always keep the gambling secret

A good opinion you have here, in everything we do our individual decision surpass everything, but it must matter to people that are concerned about you how you go about your life, it is normal for people to give us advise but what's matters is how authentic and helpful such advise is, it is known by many that gambling is addictive and it has the power to change people from their normal self, even though people opinion doesn't count in your life, you should also be concerned about what you do that triggers advise from extra body.
As for me if I am gambling irresponsibly I will definitely care about what people say about my gambling habit, there is a saying that mad people doesn't have shame but their relatives do, apart from gambling if I do something that doesn't portray good about me despite they money I make through such, I will have to rethink about it.

Well OP so far as you're taking responsibility for your actions and inactions, you put food on your table, clothes yourself and your family, provide a home of your own I don't really think it is necessary to listen to people's opinion about how you choose to live your life. In other words, the person is indirectly telling you to gamble responsibly because he has seen some persons that became wayward as a result of playing gamble though some persons see gambling as a game for wayward people but it's really because of people that don't gamble responsibly that made it looked as if gambling is bad if not Inasmuch as you can be able to meet up your daily obligations despite being a gambler I think no body will see you as part of the wayward gamblers. However, anybody's opinion doesn't really matter on how you choose to live your life, but let it be that you live a life that you will not be measured together with people that can't add value to their own lives.

Totally correct, things can be very good , it is better that when we do things well we like them because we enjoy them, and to do what makes us generate happiness, and if the casino and gambling are our best option to have fun Well, we have to do it, no matter what People say, we should Always do what we like, as long as it does not hurt anyone, as long as we are Doing things well within the normal parameters, because I believe that it does not hurt anyone in fact, others should not care what we do with our own money.

Exactly. I like the conclusion of your statement because that's an honest fact. We only have life and should live it to our satisfaction, not based on what other people gossip about in our name and expect us to be the way they want, and perhaps it's only jobless people who end up discussing other things when it's not their business. 

But realistically, that's how life is. People must always talk about something they don't like about you, but what matters is what you think about your lifestyle. Gambling is not a bad activity, and as long as one is gambling responsibly, I don't think it should be a problem for anyone.
