Go guys!
In many cultures and countries is gambling consider as a bad thing which only the poorest and silliest ones do. Many gamblers try to hide that they gamble from their friends and families and feel really shameful for that. Do you consider gambling as a bad thing? Do you feel shameful or proud for being a gambler? If it is shame what you feel what do you about it? How do you hide you're a gambler and who do you hide it from?
Let others know!
Actually Im not a full pledge gambler. I do gambling almost once amount I'll just do it when I have an extra money and wantbto risk it to earn more. So that, im not shame to say that I also do gambling because I know I can still control myself in doing it. Im still not greed in terms of it. How come can i'll be shame. I just do it for fun nad not taking it seriously.

Unfortunately, societal norms dictates that people frown upon gambling and gamblers.  It is the world we live in but personally, i don't let it bother me at all.  Some people drink, some gamble, some do all sorts of other things that they find pleasure in, that's generally the way i see it.  It is not up to anyone else but us individually to determine what we do with our lives, times and finances.  No i don't feel shameful about gambling at all. I'm just aware of the fact that it is not to everyone else's  liking.

In our society, gambling is always been considered as an evil coz history witnesses that gamblers lost everything in gambling. Gambling is an addiction which make u loose all your wealth, destroys relations and even make you mentally upset. Gambling on occasion just for FUN is not a bad thing but practicing it daily to earn money is really bad and a shameful thing

Maybe I'd be shameful if I'd continue my life with gambling. I'm playing just for adrenaline and enjoy. But in my country, gamblers are seen as shameful people.

If gambling is wrong and embarrassing by the majority of people in your country, then you have a good reason why you're ashamed to be a gambler. We ignore it or not, spicy speech from people when we are seen doing things that are considered shameful can affect our minds. We must always be strong, because otherwise we will be considered low, and that is shameful.
As long as it's not illegal in your jurisdiction it's not a crime to gamble and there is nothing to be shamed if you did not create a crime.
This is a way of entertaining ourselves and we are ready to spend even if we lose money here because the excitement cannot be get from other activities.

If you are not hurting yourself and others why do you nees to be ashamed. I agree that most of the cultures treat gambling as a bad thing but they are hypocrites because everyone gamble one way or another.
We should not be affected by the opinion of others, if we think we are not doing anything wrong then we should not be ashamed.
Gambling is a fun activity and as long as we will stick to that we will always have fun and we will not gonna have the same fate like those who are addicted to it and have ruined their lives.

My answer is no, why would I be shameful. I guess it's not a sin and I am not committing a crime either, for others who think gambling is very dangerous, that would only mean that they are not responsible enough to engage in a risky game. What I see is that bitcoin is a form of entertainment and based on experience, I enjoy doing it, so it's not a sin to have fun when you are not hurting others.
A very well said. If you are a responsible gambler and know how to limit yourself then how is it shameful? Just gamble for fun and not for profit because gambling for profit is most likely got an empty hand. And don't spent too much of what you have earned especially when you have a family to be fed.


There is no shame in some thing that pays taxes to the government and offers employment to its staff who are likely citizens and so why should the player feel ashamed of this ? It leaves me with one option and that is either he stole the money to gamble, borrowed it or lives irresponsibly at home and is afraid of being found out.

Why do I have to do that, since I'm going to have some good time, and I'm going to make the most of it. In the other hand, what am I going to win from thinking if am I shamefull or not ! that way I will surely Spoil my perfect fun. Also, gambling could be a source of money, by winning a single bet my life could be changed 180 degrees. Like the experience of the famous dan bilzerian who is one of the richest man in the world.

I believe those that feel shameful are those that are irresponsible at home and wouldn't want people to see them gamble some money away, there are a lot of pro gamblers out there but they are just fine with what they do because they live responsibly and have nothing to worry about.
Probably that's how he or she started. The person that is just hanging around and not taking responsibilities for their actions are most likely to want instant riches and gambling is a way for that. If you think about it, it makes sense because all they want is natural way and not caring about anything in the world.
gambling for some people are not just about responsibility . but when other people around you feel and recognise gambling as something that not respectful work , you will think that you should be shameful doing that.

so it is actually about how gambling treated in different way and point of view.


I don't think  anyone should  feel shameful for gambling because it's actually a business just like any other unless the gambler in question has problems in his own house and has refused to deal with them and instead spending on gambling.

No, I do not feel shameful just for gambling. Because gambling is an activity that most people do. And other people are not concerned with our gambling activities.

I don't feel shameful for being a gamble. Gambling is for me fun and passion. When you are gambling out of control and do anything for gambling is the worst thing if anyone do such thing ofcourse it is shameful only. So we should know our limit to play gambling as well other things also.

Though there are times I do feel ashame as Gambler. Not that I don't feel comfortable but instead I'm afraid what will others say. I've been an addict in the industry though I already get over it. But the fact that most of my friends are still can get over with it. I knew that I have ups and downs, Made some bad decisions that I alreaft regret. So before I play, I tend to overthink up to the point that I feel ashamed on what ever decision I'll make.
