Once upon a time living in the society, I never paid attention to the various ugly comments that people used to make. At one time I involved myself heavily in gambling though I was not in a relationship i.e. married but now after I am married I have children and in this case I am determined to fulfill various social responsibilities and duties. In society, a gambling addict does not want to have good relations with the family and even does not invite the family members to various social rituals. That's why I stopped myself from gambling mainly from the social context. As my children are growing up and so that my children do not have to introduce a gambling father in the future, I have stopped gambling.

And you did the right thing. Society definitely condemns gambling, and I think it condemns it too much. Yes, there are plenty of examples of problem gambling and betting, but I also know people who have been gambling for years and do not suffer from addiction. However, children are the factor that any reasonable person would immediately exclude the risk that gambling brings from their life. And I would do the same.

Yes but I think society should not condemn gambling because in fact what is bad is not gambling but the behavior of gamblers who always treat gambling in the wrong way which ultimately causes various disasters and setbacks in the lives of these gamblers, meaning there is a misunderstanding from society's perspective regarding gambling and maybe that happens because they don't know the truth.
On the other hand, you have mentioned that there are some gamblers who have been involved for decades but they have never been addicted and indirectly that is one example that as I said above, what is bad is the behavior of gamblers and not gambling itself, in the sense that if you are able to treat gambling according to your abilities then you will not experience many setbacks in life as a result of gambling, and this is the reason why self-control and various limitations are always recommended to be applied.

according to the rapper lil wayne in the song title "god bless america" he said "you can play a role in my life but not the lead" which means that as an adult who has passed the legal age of gambling in whatever country you reside in you shouldn't pay heed to what people say as long as you are gambling responsibly and not letting it disrupt the social,financial and spychological part of your life.also in all honesty no matter how bad some people in society see gambling lots of individuals have seen their fortune turned around for good through gambling so whenever i see some people try to make gambling feel like a social vice it just makes me a little bit annoyed.

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.

Some people's perception about gambling is very disturbing, they see people that gambles as irresponsible because of addicted gamblers. This perception is very unfair because we have a lot of responsible gamblers like me.

I know of someone that his rich cousin wants to raise capital for, so that he can start a business. But unfortunately other family members were discouraging the cousin not to give financial help to the guy. Their excuse was that he's a gambler and he will squander the capital on gambling. It really got me worried because ignorant people will liken anybody that gambles as irresponsible. I gamble sometimes and people who knows me knows that I'm a responsible person, it'll be unfair for them to judge me as irresponsible if they see me gambling.

Experienced gamblers know the real deal about gambling from firsthand experience, and they’re usually honest about it. But today’s gamblers have different takes—some speak the truth, while others don’t. What’s frustrating is seeing social media influencers promoting gambling and misleading people, encouraging them to play even though they know the risks. Of course, it’s our choice, but it shouldn’t be done in such a way that feels careless toward others.

Right now, this is a serious issue we need to focus on, especially with more young people getting involved. We have to keep reminding ourselves and others that gambling is risky and can lead to destructive outcomes if we let it control us.

We're free to show the true us to the people that will understand us. But if there's no way that these people that are close to us will understand us, much better to keep it only to us. That's why many are still hiding their gambling activities for being afraid of being judged by those people that they're trusting with their secrets and words.

But we must be careful if we want to show the true of us because we should take a look at around us before doing that. Many people around us may not like of what we will show and those people can say bad things when they are not at around us. If that is about gambling, I prefer to hide it from other people that doesn't understand me because I don't want to get a matters that can be big with them. I see some of my friends have that matters with their closest people so I don't want to get the same thing like them.

It doesn't really matter what kind of habits we have, be it good or bad, the truth remains that people must talk.
I had a friend go through my phone some time back and although I rarely gamble, I have various gambling apps that I occasionally indulge mostly for the casino games, he saw my apps and made a remark of which got me upset because this friend in question drinks and smokes a lot that everyone knows it is a much worse habit that consumes much funds as compared to gambling that one can win at any time and recover whatever money was spent.

We'll be upset when we don't like their reactions when they know that we're gamblers. And that's why we are hiding what we've been doing because we don't want to be upset if ever they hear us or we've been known that we gamble. That's the reason why many of us still keeps it as a secret so not to intrude our feelings by not telling them anything about us that is related to gambling.

Uhm, it is not actually an assumption because we've already seen a lot of proofs about people who got their lives ruined because of excessive gambling behaviour.
However, to the people who legitimately know the meaning of responsible gambling, things are a bit different. Gambling is not really bad, as long as it's remain under your control.
About the religious side, I hold nothing against them, but most of these people are just hypocrites and self righteous.

I agree with what you said, gambling itself is not bad if we do it under good control such as having limits when the gambling results have occurred, for example when they have lost, many people cannot control themselves when they find that their gambling results end in defeat, they return to gambling again by depositing money in the casino and this usually happens because there is a separate motivation from themselves.
In some countries that prohibit gambling, either because it is against the law or because of their religion, but even so there are still many people who continue to gamble, actually this depends on ourselves because I myself do it even though it is prohibited in my country, besides, if I don't harm others I don't care.

Gambling is so common place today that in many countries the stigma is almost gone already, however it is important to still keep the fact that you gamble for yourself as you never know when you may encounter one of those people that still think that gambling is wrong,

The world has many communities where they believe in different kinds of things. Some religion prohibits gambling so it would be understandable if they do not approve of gambling and may think of those who gamble as sinful or something similar. Of course we can't force them out of their beliefs as it is their religion so we just need to mind our own business and ignore these. At the same time, for those who are religious and thinks that gambling is wrong they also should not impose or force their beliefs on those of us who do

and they may try to spread rumors about you and may try to hinder your personal or professional life, so avoid trouble whenever you can, even if it is unlikely you could suffer those negative consequences.

As long as you are gambling responsibly and you are not harming anyone in the process I do not see a reason for you to be scared of anyone who may have a bad image of you.

The present generation is used to it, whereas the previous generation looks at it differently. If we take statistics, people who have lost their living comfort out of gambling are huge. In the past this gets revealed easily, and people easily say that person has lost in gambling and he ruined the life. So you shouldn't get into gambling. This is the reality. Right now people are gambling, but everything is kept confidential. Whether one loses it through gambling or something else, it didn't come to the public and makes way for others to comment on it. This is why the present generation isn't much used to advice. People who were in the 55+ easily say you're going to lose your money, don't do it.

Many years ago, I do care about what people will say if they see me in a betting store, I don't want it as their are many people who will named you a gambler, I didn't start gambling until I was able to do it online, so there is no way anyone can know, but today things are different.

I'm also a fan of online gambling, not just because of the privacy but due to avoiding some association with chronic gamblers that I might meet in their physical shop and the kind of conversations that might be coming out of their mouth just after that moment each time you meet them on the way they now address you as their colleagues.

Due to the hardship in the country people don't care anymore, right now they would rather join along to gamble right by your side, the situation happening in the country is alarming that people don't even care what you do nowadays, both youths and adults are now seeing gambling as a supporter if one is lucky, imagine, something that seems so uncool to them.

There is one local statement that goes around in my local "Nah condition, make crawfish bend." The situation in the country right now has reshaped the thinking of most people. Everyone is focused on how they can survive the hardship, even things they consider bad. As long as you can prove to them that it's legal and you can make something out of it, they don't care anymore.

The easiest thing to do is to hide your gambling activities from people if you know they can have a negative perception about it. As long as you have a job, earn your own money, have enough money apart from all other expenses to spend on your gambling activities, and you know you have enough control on yourself that you wouldn't gamble away everything you earn or have, then I don't see a problem in you gambling and hiding it from the world.

With the world of online gambling, gambling on your own and without anyone knowing is not difficult anymore. All you have to do is find a casino that you like and find trustworthy, create your account, fund it with cryptocurrencies, and start gambling wherever you want. You don't need to go to physical casinos while trying to avoid others seeing you anymore.

I agree to avoid troubles whenever we can but if someone is going this far and trying to ruin my life, my family and my career, I don't know what I can do with them but just don't go that far.
They know where they should be posting and their place because this is too much if they try to include those matters that it should only be me.

When the number of gamblers was low, everyone focused more on their own culture, which is why those who gambled kept their gambling hidden to protect their reputation and cared if anyone said anything about their gambling. But nowadays the number of gamblers has increased so much that gambling is now considered a common thing by everyone because of which no one cares what anyone has to say about gambling. i agree with your words

That was long ago when people assumed gambling to be what people who don't have meaningful things to do with their lives engaged with to waste their time and money without getting any useful results. But as time went by, people's mentality began to shift towards thinking of gambling as what they can gamble in their leisure time, for fun, even for money. Those who have thought gambling to be a wrong thing for a young man or woman will do, are currently finding their way into gambling as what everyone can be involved in, if he or she is not taking gambling as their source of income or gambling to be rich with a huge amount to bet with, without bringing about 3%-5% of the weekly income for gambling

Hiding it is certainly better if the environment and the people around you look unsupportive.
After all, the tone certainly doesn't require the acknowledgment that you're a gambling player

That's much better. Gambling still has a taboo with so many culture and families and that's why it's best to hide it.
I think many still hides their gambling activities but even with that, we don't care what they tell to us.

I agree that hiding our gambling activity from other people will be better to avoids the bad says from them. But they must have strong control to prevent the losses. But if they don't care with what other people say, they can show their gambling activities to many people and will not thinks much about anything they say because that is not their business. They just need to focus and control their gambling activities to avoids the losses. Other people can say many things to him including bad words but they don't know how he control himself when playing gambling so that will not be important to thinks about the bad words.

We're free to show the true us to the people that will understand us. But if there's no way that these people that are close to us will understand us, much better to keep it only to us. That's why many are still hiding their gambling activities for being afraid of being judged by those people that they're trusting with their secrets and words.

There are really those people who doesnt really like on someone to have that something to say towards them and they are really that getting ashamed with that even though its none of their business on what are the things that you do but still there would really be those times or moments that you will really be having this kind of minding about on what are the things you've been doing.
Just like the rest been saying on here is that its none others business on what you do because its your money. There are really those individuals who do care and who do not
about others views and perspective towards them because each of us does really have that different behavior when it comes to this one.
