There were a time when I used to care about what people thought of me, then when I was a student, especially if I visited the betting shop, once I came out, I would always look down when I saw people looking at me but after I graduated from Uni, I started playing on my mobile phones, I will open the site in the public places without caring about what they will say, because while I was in school none of them helped me so why should I cared so much about their opinions, the only thing I care about is not to be addicted.
That's true. It's better to ignore these people who are not really concern and only judging you based on what they see. I already stop minding what others has to say as long as I know to myself that i'm not doing anything wrong. Many people are seeing gambling as bad because of the possibility to ruin one's life. The reason why gamblers are judged due to it. However, we know it depends on the gambler itself on how he/she will handle gambling.

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

which makes other people care about gamblers because they see the big effects that result beyond limits, such as selling goods, losing responsibility, reducing common sense. This causes family and friends to take the initiative to provide advice on reducing gambling activities when gamblers are given the motivation that they are actually aware of the situation. but on the other hand, gamblers have high hopes of getting the win,
And when you're at that state, it only means that you don't care what others are saying about you. You sell stuff, goods and everything you own because you have no money left to gamble.That's the highest level of gambling addiction or close to it when you're doing that already. When you hear people say such things about you, it's going to be annoying because all you're doing is to do unnecessary things that will put you into a more bad situation.
To me, I don't care what they say but I am aware of my status when I gamble.
It's not wise like that, but that's the fact. and I'm sure everyone has experienced thoughts like that.
I would not allow them to judge me rather I will try to judge myself through my actions and inactions after having a deep thoughts about things. As an individual, I have an end of the month, monthly evaluation form, where I tried to introspect on my affairs to make better decisions in the near future. I will also advise many of others here to try that. Although I'm not always consistent throughout all the months, but it has seriously help me to remain informed on the progress of life entirely.
As for what people will say about my gambling habit or addiction, it's left to them. Whether I do well or do badly, people will comment so I try as much as possible to, though take cue from their talks, but introspect within myself to figure out the solutions to my problems.

People are very good at judging, they always look for a way to make sure that what the majority does is right and what we do when we have fun is wrong, so these are things that for many do not make any sense, since we are doing illegal activities if possible within the world of Criticism , of bad Criticism, but they do not make much effort to try to Speak politely about people, it is enough for them to say Hello for it to be a bad act, for now things with the casinos are not wrong, nor prohibited, only with the exception of countries that are very Delicate with their Religion.
Absolutely nothing is wrong with casino or anything related to gambling, it will only become wrong if a gambler is too hooked up that he's willing to risk all the money on his pocket, especially for a family man.
Most judgmental people are the one's who always goes to church on Sundays, the kind of religious one, because it is against the 10 commandments they believed. However, people have different religion and beliefs so that doesn't mean we all have to follow what the others believes. We just live the way we want our lives to be as long as we are not committing crimes nor hurt people. Gambling isn't a crime though as long as it is regulated and registered legally.
I don't live my life to try to impress any one, so fuck anyone who tries to say shit behind my back, I don't fucking care. Besides they are not the one paying my bills. In this life, I've come a findings that when you keep living to someone elses expectations, you might even end up forsaking your purpose while helping them fulfil theirs. It's quite unfortunate how some persons are just Hippocrates, trying to cover up with the image of good friend and yet they are the back stabbers praying for your downfall. I'm not after making myself wealthy over night of gambling and that why I don't gamble irresponsible or even getting addicted along the journey.

If we truly know that how we are gambling is being done in such a way that is expected of us to do, then we need not to care on what other people are saying concerning how we gambles, the problem many have is that they don't engaged in doing the right thing and still don't mind or care about what others are saying, we have to watch our steps from the way we are gambling, because other people are watching us if we don't know by ourself.
Once we are making money from gambling, who cares about what people will say because their words is not going to out food on the table for us. Gambling is a way for us to make extra cash for ourselves and we don't have to see it in a way that will be our major means of making money. I know their are people that see gambling as a full means of making money but that should never be a problem for us that are always curious to be disciplined and not allow undisciplined lifestyle to hijack us just like that. People would about complain which is one thing I am very convinced about whether we have money or we don't have.

Actually I think it's quite simple, if their criticism doesn't harm you and you don't harm them then yes of course it doesn't really matter what other people say about us who have a habit of engaging in gambling, and also on the other hand even if for example you have a good approach according to what is always suggested which leads to many precautions to keep us safe and avoid the various bad possibilities that exist in gambling still people will not believe whatever you say, most people see gambling as a very negative activity because of the very bad impact when someone has fallen into the addiction phase, but on the other hand I think there are still some effective ways for you to avoid various comments or criticisms that you don't want to hear which one of them is to be completely confidential about your involvement in gambling. 
Most gamblers who are beginners in the world of gambling will definitely experience times when a position is excessive and has fatal consequences, as I said. will be uncontrollable, but gamblers who have had this experience do not want to repeat it. because the key basis for gambling is just for entertainment, not the main point of making money
That is why we must be able to control our spending in gambling places. Nobody forbids us from gambling, but the most important thing is that we must be able to control our emotions and the money we spend on gambling. Don't ever be tempted to always spend money on just one day, we can still try it tomorrow and there is a possibility of winning. Because I believe there are days when we lose and there are also days when we win and make a lot of profit.It is difficult when it comes to controlling the mcones, it is not easy for someone in the game to make us think too much because when we are thinking about making a play suddenly the adrenaline makes us make many mistakes, and that is the worst thing that can happen , for that reason when we are thinking about doing the best we have to think that if we spend money we will not have that money until later after doing other things, when I see that there are ways to earn and spend less I take them, otherwise I don't If I see that the risk is too big I don't do it and with respect to others I don't stop them or give them any importance, because it is my money and they are my decisions.
Basically it's true as you said above that this is life where there are always people who don't really like us and they may always find fault with us, but as I said above because we are talking about the context of gambling then I don't think everyone will really blaspheme you, There is a possibility that some of them care about your safety because after all gambling always has the possibility of bad effects that can occur at any time, so I think there is nothing wrong with filtering the ideas they throw at you by identifying their criticism, if for example the criticism contains concern then I think there is nothing wrong with being reconsidered.
You are right, bro. Nothing is really wrong with filtering some criticism thrown at someone (a gambler). Some people criticize out of the care that they have for their friends or relatives who are taking their gambling lifestyles to the edge, but on the contrary, some people just hate gambling, and they therefore hate anybody who gambles. So, what I actually means is that, the fact that someone doesn't like gambling should not make him or her talk ill of others what love gambling and are participating in gambling activities.
You know that there are some people who just believe that gambling is very bad because it makes people lose money, so their belief is that anyone who gambles is not responsible for wasting their money.
On the other hand, I also agree with your opinion that we should not demonize someone who likes to gamble, simply put as long as their habits do not harm us at all then let it go, don't let them think that you are someone who likes to interfere with other people's affairs which might cause problems between you and people who like to gamble, but on the other hand there is nothing wrong with also giving input to those gamblers such as not being too excessive or any ideas that contain precautions for safety.
on which there would really be those negatives and criticisms on what they are able to see on which its not really that a shocking reality that we are living in today and this is something that would really be normal
and as an individual then it would be just that right that you should really know on how to make out that kind of adjustment and really that ignoring on what are those words you would really be able to heard on.
Dont care about into those words because you are the ones who would really be doing the stuffs that you do like. Just make it sure that you wont really be messing up your life with because on the time
that you would really be on such condition then expect that there's someone whose been laughing at you on the current situation or condition that you are in.
So if you are somewhat an emotional person or sensitive then you would really be easily getting pissed.

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.
I hope that's not your experience. sometimes the role of the family is also important in making control of such decisions. the most important thing is to keep you in good condition. You can imagine if you just play alone and become addicted. it can be without control from you and also without control from other people as an alarm.
But in other cases, we often feel the influence of other people, such as friends who accompany us when gambling, on the betting decisions we make. Of course, you have received suggestions from friends who came to see our game. and without realizing it we follow directions from our friends because maybe we think they are more experienced.

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. We might be gambling for fun and entertainment, but it's difficult to make others understand this, most of the time.
That's what matters, more than anything, the things you do are for that, to feel good and happy, sometimes the people Around us don't like our success because Basically things are like that in most of us and the rest people, but since the money is ours and we can do what we Want, it is something that we must all respect, if things want to be made known to others it is our responsibility, but those negative energies towards us can fall, Well, we must avoid them because basically it can Affect something, that's why we must be somewhat irreverent with what others think, and with that Each person Learns to respect the other's lifestyle.
I will care if the person who has an opinion on gambling is someone who is in a position to offer help to me, because if the person has a bad or wrong opinion of all gamblers, it can affect whatever plan they have to help me, and make them change their mind.
If it is an opinion from people who do not matter, to h*ll with their opinions.
sometimes what people say about you in gambling actually change your thinking and your perspective in gambling so I know quite well that many people Lament negatively towards whoever they see that is a gambler but it does not matter anything for someone who is a gambler for someone who participate in gambling every time because it is your own detriment to participate in gambling it is not any person's choice or any person detriment I know that gambling is all about what you think and what you like to do so neither it come out positively for you or negative to you it is your own concern not any other person's concernIf it is an opinion from people who do not matter, to h*ll with their opinions.
Those whom sometimes initially sometimes complain about lost are yet to accept the risk associated with gambling so when they are gambling they shouldn't focused on the winning alone because if they lose it gets to their nerves.

I have a question to those who care a lot about what people think or say about your gambling hobby - what do you do about it? Do they force you to stop gambling? Or force you to gamble more hiddenly or privately? Does their opinion on your hobby make you sad or feel uncomfortable?
The reason why I am asking it, because like I dont care what they say about me gambling (I suppose they do it behind my back), they dont care what I will say about their passion or what they do in free time. I dont want to change anything in my life because someone says something.

In my opinion, it is pointless to react to someone's opinion about gambling addiction. I only care about what my close people think about me. And they know that I am a responsible person. On the opinion of others about my passion for gambling I do not care. And in fact, I would advise people who like to discuss and condemn other people's hobbies to take care of their personal lives and do not waste time. In my opinion, all these people who like to discuss someone are just losers and by judging others they are trying to self-actualize among losers like themselves.
I will care if the person who has an opinion on gambling is someone who is in a position to offer help to me, because if the person has a bad or wrong opinion of all gamblers, it can affect whatever plan they have to help me, and make them change their mind.

Gambling is an activity that often carries a stigma, with many viewing it as an irresponsible waste of money or even an addiction. However, responsible gambling in moderation can simply be a form of entertainment. Ultimately, it comes down to each individual's motivations and behavior. While it's wise to be aware of how gambling may be perceived, one shouldn't be consumed by others' opinions if it is not causing harm. What matters most is being honest with yourself. If your gambling habits are reasonable and not negatively impacting your life, there is no need to feel shame. Focus on your own self-awareness and responsibility.
