In my own opinion, i am not ashamed for being a gambler and i do not hide to my families and friends that i gamble because i also play with them. We only play for fun not for profit because gambling is also the reason that we strengthens our bonds with each other. There is no reason to be ashamed because everybody has a dirty things to do.

You should only be ashamed if you keep wasting your money but if you are playing with only small amount then it is fine. The only thing matter is wether you spend alot of money or not but even if you do with your own then it is fine. Some people have alot of fortune that they can keep on spending without even worrying about it

I cannot find any shameful stuff for being a gambler.  I have been gambling for decades now and I have not affected my family and relatives negatively.  I only play with my free money and always make sure that I won't use any money that is allocated to my family needs.  As long as we are doing good, enjoying the gambling games and not affecting anyone negatively, i believe there is no reason to be shameful on being a gambler.

Any investment, though having less risk in comparision to gambling, is a kind of gambling only. Gambling has an instant outcome and thus is differentiated from other forms of put-in money and win-lose thing.

Even when you invest, you are not 100% sure of your profit, yet you do, and it is seen as a brainy thing. But basically the situation somewhat is same with gambling aswell. Here also you are unaware of your outcomes.

So i dont feel one should be ashamed of being a gambler. If one has proper descretion to when to stop and when to keep going on, its not a shamefull business at all. And, lets also not forget the fun part involved in gambling, which keeps it more thrilling then other forms of trading/investment.

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?

Being shameful as a gambler means that you did something wrong while you are gambling if you did nothing wrong and just playing for fun and just passing the time by, then there is no reason for you be a shamed as a gambler.

I don't think so. Gambling is a great help to the economy and to the society as a whole. Through gambling we were able to generate funds to help the unfortunate individuals. We gamble to earn more. Gambling is not necessarily something bad but it always comes with a risk. Its more like of an investment activity with higher risk but of higher returns if you win. Taking a risk is a somehow a gambling activity. You gamble for something good in return. Its a courageous undertaking then I should not be shameful for it.
Why should someone feel ashamed for being a gambler, gambling is one the way of playing games and making Money out of it. In many countries gambling is given green signal by government itself, so what's wrong with playing gambling, nothing wrong in it, no need to feel ashamed for a gambler.

No, I dont feel any shame at all for being a gambler, be ashamed if you did something wrong just to gamble like getting loan or selling something that you own just to play, its not a good habit for a gambler to do that and that is very shameful.

In real life, our reputation will be ruined if are a gambler and we have a lot of debt and we have too many unfed mouths. But if you are not like that, then never feel ashamed about your gambling habit.

Some gamblers I think can't feel anything, even if you tell them that "hey, your sons and daughters are not yet eating and yet you have a money for your vice". That thing should be shameful, but an addict never feel that, they are numb or just want to ignore.
Gambling is already considered bad by most people, so actually being a gambler is a shame because it is considered bad by most people. But the degree of shyness of people must be different, so there is a shame to be a gambler, some are not.
Everyone has its own opinion like I don’t think gamblers are bad people as others thinks, this is a natural thing. Nothing to say about this! Being a gambler isn’t a shameful thing because people gamble for their own sake and no one is hurt in their gambling then why one can say that being a gambler is a bad thing.

If someone gambles just for fun seeking or just to check it out however he’s very nice in his life, then it means that he has done a shameful thing.

We gambling to earn more is an oppsite result in the end that's we are expecting in the first place Because gambling is a matter of high in risk to lose all your money. Yes, you can win a very high amount if you just pursue yourself in gambling but it just depend on your luck to be able to achieve that thing.

Some are making through gambling and some are making through trading. You are making money because some where some are loosing money. As gambler we should not feel any shy for making money through gambling.
If that is the case then we should be proud, but the reality is most of the gamblers are losing money that is why we are ask if we are shameful or not. The answer is very simple, it depends on your purpose, if you are gambling for fun then definitely you understand that losing is the amount of money you spend to get the entertainment, and if you are having fun then there is nothing to be ashamed of.

I don't feel any shame In gambling and as a compulsive gambler I feel there's nothing wrong in it, why should one feel ashamed to do the only thing he's good at, I am not good at anything except when it comes to gambling I have a sixth sense and that's how I earn a lot, though sometimes I do loose a lot, but that's all good it's part and parcel of the game. If a gambler is ashamed then he should be ashamed, he should be proud that he's part of the elite group.
We can see that some people like to hide their gambling activities from their family and friends, in fact they do not want them to know that he is engage in gambling, because gambling is not legal in their state and even may not be as legal in their religion and is also do not consider as good activity in their society, therefore  i think that they must be feeling shame for playing gambling. While in some places where gambling is not banned and is legal there to play. So in such places those people who are playing gambling in a limit and are not loosing a lot of money,  or those people who play gambling only for fun and enjoyment, they may not be felling shame for involving in gambling activities. They consider gambling as a healthy activity, but i think that very little people may have the ability to play gambling in a limit and do not lose their emotions when they play gambling, otherwise most of the people lose their emotions while playing gambling and lose everything they have.

I dont feel shameful,of being one as a gambler,because for me gambling is not a mortal sin,its only a part of refreshing and creating yourself an environment away from worries in works and at the same time you earn in gambling,by means of winning.the only things become a shameful for me in gambling is if you cheat in the games in order to achieve more win,but if you did not do this and you play it properly will for me its only a recreation and refreshing to yourself awareness.

that is correct gambling is completely fine as long as those are your funds which you are using the moment
you start taking loans and give fake promises to people and take moeny from them you should surely be ashamed
of yourself as you already risked your funds now you are risking the other persons funds as well

I think it is not a shameful thing do gambling. But depend on the culture of country or area, people might see that as a shameful or unsuitable thing. Some people identify gambling as a illegal thing, done under the coverage of police and when they get caught and get beaten by police kind of thing. But gambling is available in legalized form and with a clear set of rules.
That's true depends on where you live in , environment have a big role on affecting you treat gamble itself.
So yeaa i can say basically nothing wrong with gamble , just the way people look at you and you react on it.
Some people indeed even proud on what they have achieved in gambling . You just never live that way.
Some people would be affected but some people wont really care at all. Society in different places do really differ which there are places which where people do look bad at you when you are playing gambling just like they are staring at you wondering on what you did wrong to them which would really give anxiety and would give effects on you for sure.
I think you can count who or what kind of people you are with. Because if you really don't belong to a group or your family does not accept what you are doing than you are really on your own. People who are in your life may be the biggest factor on how you will on being a gambler. Like one real life example is a family is happy that the father is a gamble because it is their only source of income, by knowing that you know that you can be proud of what you are doing as you are helping your family. But if gambling is destroying your relationship with them that is when you need to pull out and stay away from gambling.

I do not feel shy that I gamble. Playing a game of chance is not something to be shameful at UNLESS you are already heavily indebted yet you still rely on it for daily sustenance. It is good if you have other sources of income and if you have self-control. Mind you, there is healthy gambling. You cannot just generalize gambling. There are exceptions, of course, especially when such gambling game is illegal under your laws.

There is nothing wrong with being a gambler for as long as you are using your own money to gamble and you are a responsible gambler. Know your limits always and do not let gambling control your life. Gambling is fun when you know how to properly enjoy it.
- Exactly, if we gamble with the aim for fun and use our money to gamble it's not a shame because we play gambling with control, and we are entertaining, that is the normal human need, we do not hurt anyone, so we do not need to feel it is wrong and shameful. Shame is when we are borrowing someone else's money and gamble, or we are a gambling addict and gambling for the purpose of making money, if we feel we do not infringe on those things, we should be comfortable and play gambling. If anyone says gambling is sinful and wrong, we should ignore them, and we should do what we like, this life is ours, not theirs

I will be very embarrassed and my family will be very disappointed with me because in my surroundings, gambling is something that is forbidden and considered a sin. Gambling is a futile act and is included in the category of money-wasting or dissipation, since gambling may be classed as forbidden or sinful. But in some circumstances or situations, gambling may not be something embarrassing or forbidden. Like for example when you gamble with family, we will bet if there is a gamble lose we will not pay money, but our face smeared with flour. Right ?
