Topic: Do you care about what people say about you gambling? - page 37. (Read 4689 times)

I do not give a fuck about anyone. But most of my gambling activities are online and in a way most people in public do not even know that I am gambling. Just my friends and people that are very close to me are the ones that know that I am gambling. But if they see me on a land based casino or betting agent shop, they do not give me money and I do not care about their opinion if not in support of gambling.

What prompted this statement is obviously the fact that he or she has seen more negative impacts of gambling than positive impact. Youths who are not of age and even those of age gambling irresponsibly, ruining their lives, becoming a nuisance to themselves and their environment. If you had gone further in your conversation, you would have be able to enlighten the person on responsible gambling.

If you go to a pub and you are drinking irresponsibly, if someone there calls you out on it, then you would care because no one ever cautions a responsible drinker. It is the same analogy in gambling. You will be call out when someone perceives that you are overdoing it. Some who may even call you out when you are not overdoing it are only concerned about you so that you do not over do it.

These people should just mind their own business and stop looking at someone's app or what they do. Just because they're close to you as both of you sit or stand, they're going to make a peek to you. I guess this is something that we do but there is no need for a talk and asking what you're doing or overreacting with someone's business on their phones. I don't care what these people does, if someone approaches me like that. I'd say to just mind his own business and stop bothering people.

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.

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.

Nah, I wouldn't care, but I would not go on public places and let's say just open my mobile phone connect to gambling and play, I'm not that time. But in any case I do that and I see people reacting negatively, I will just shake it off and just continue to play.

If you are bothered, then it's better to just stop your play right there because as a gambler, we all know that we are superstitious and it might bring bad luck to you if you will be concerned about something that you shouldn't. In the first place, you don't ask money from them, it's your own money, so regardless what their reaction is, you shouldn't be annoyed.

According to a popular rapper ”I will accept advice if it’s not presented ignorantly”

If they are bold enough to say it to my face and advice me, I might then explain to them that I don’t do it all the time – I only do it when I’m free, or when I have spare cash that I can afford to lose… it’s not something I’m hoping to use to make billions but if I’m lucky to win that huge prize while having fun I’ll gladly take it.

Back to the Op, I don’t think I’ve ever opened my gambling account in public before why not wait till you get to your house or a place that you’re alone before you open to check the game? I don’t think more than three persons know that I’m into gambling and there’s no way for other to know because I don’t walk around the street carrying banners saying “I’m into gambling”. If you don’t want people to talk shit about you gambling then don’t let them know about it, it’s as simple as that.

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
