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!

I think it's not really about whether others think it's sinful or not, it's the guilt that you feel with yourself, the frustration that you take out upno yourself after you lose money gambling on dice sites, roulette etc.

And as a once addictive gambler I can definitely say that i am very shameful of my gambling activities.

My parents really don't care that much but i sort of hate myself for ever gambling. I've gambled away bill money, school fees, etc. You name it.
Don't mind others are saying as long as you understand fully what you are doing, it's only a sin if you will lose your
money that you cannot afford, that means you are losing control in gambling which could possibly ruin your life.

Gambling is a sin, no matter whether you can afford it or not, whether you lose money you can afford or not, sin is a sin. Gambling is a sin from the beginning. People have sinned since they first started gambling. So, whether or not you are able to lose money you can afford or not, gambling is a sin.

Somehow to be ashamed of being a gambler. They never feed you, and you gamble with your money. There is no good reason to be embarrassed unless we beg for someone to gamble.

It depends.
If you can understand that you are addicted to gambling then you should be ashamed. Most of the addiction has many negative reaction, that's why whatever you do, you need to control over every site. I don't feel ashamed of gambling Because I'm not addicted to it.

Admit it or not most of us did this thing and right now we are into paying them from those mistakes. Although it's really a shame for you if your parents did know that you are gambling with their money. The best thing to do is to admit your mistake and maybe do something good for the sake of your parents and correct your mistake.
i think it is different from person to person, from place to place, from religion to religion, and from society to society, in some place gambling is consider as sin and there if you will continue gambling people will consider you not as a good person, and you yourself will feel shame to play gambling so openly and therefore you will try your best to play gambling anonymously.

And I'm pointing out about using your parents money or stealing money from them just for your itchy hand to gamble. If you are living to a place that has people who are thinking that gambling is something that has a bad reputation then you will feel shameful if they found out that you are gambling because they will have some murmuring with what you are doing.

Not at all - i earn my income with it.
It depend on what kind of gambling you play and how to.
I was also like you and never felt insulted or shameful for my gambling habit until the last tuesday when my parents saw my internet history and found out that I am just a gambler and nothing else. I had told them that I am doing bitcoin's trading and a lot more stories while actually in reality I was just a gambler. I could not even look into their eyes man.
Are you using your parents money to gamble? are you underage? if none then why is it shameful? as long as you don't over do gambling/aren't addicted it's fine.
Actually i know so many people in my country who use their parents money to gamble saying they need it for school work. When i hear news like this i feel really sad seeing that this is what the current generation is going to be. I am happy to see all the new technology changes but some of them are just too disappointing.

It is really disturbing to hear these type of news nowadays and it is getting more and more day by day. Kids these days wont care much about parents or their money, well most of them wont. Gambling may not be a sin but it depends on your situation and financial stability of you and your family, there are better things for your money to be used than on gambling.

You can't judge the whole generation just because you saw a couple of kids gambling using their parents' money. I mean, all kids come with different shapes and sizes. They also come with different traits. Everyone's unique. The kids that you saw aren't a representation of the whole group. There are still kids doing good things in life.

Back in the days, people are also gambling but they pretty much turned out alright. Sometimes being hooked on gambling is just a phase. As a human, our interest changes every now and then. Gambling will become boring to them and they will eventually realize that they are just wasting their money on gambling.

Nope, I feel cool. I like people to talk about how much I gambled (makes an image of a wealthy man as I am).

Felt shame only in the past when I took loans to gamble and had stolen money from my parents. Dumb I was when I was younger

You should definitely feel ashamed for doing those things in the past. I guess you must have learned your lesson about stealing money from parents just for gambling. You must already know that it would not bring any good in you and would only cause you trouble.

As for me, I think there is nothing to be ashamed for in being a gambler as long as you know for yourself that you did not do anything wrong just to gamble.
Well if he at least took something from that and became a better person thanks to this experience then who are we to judge?

Past is past and he did learned a lesson from it and that's for sure. If I were on his shoe, I'll feel the same but that's the result of being an addicted gambler. So when he was younger, he's addiction is severe. Take this as a lesson and I know there are more people that are experiencing this thing and if you don't want this to happen to your life, you should be responsible.

Well, you're not a really wealthy man if you have to steal money from your parents.

Admit it or not most of us did this thing and right now we are into paying them from those mistakes. Although it's really a shame for you if your parents did know that you are gambling with their money.

Even in society or in a country where gambling is forbidden, there are cases when a person completely begins to depend on gambling and becomes a drug addict. Of course, if a person played a couple of dollars in his pleasure, then there is nothing terrible, and when he drops a whole state, this is already a problem.

My parents really don't care that much but i sort of hate myself for ever gambling. I've gambled away bill money, school fees, etc. You name it.

If you hate yourself for doing that kind of thing then dont do it again. If you can stop gamble, then stop however if you cant stop then learn to control yourself just like I did. I control myself by not letting myself ruin myself again. I only gamble a very small amount everytime but I feel happy to do that and I dont hurt myself

The fact is that gambling for very few people's circles are just entertainment.

Those few circle of people are dumb enough to realize that this is not a matter of having fun or not. It is silly to say that people are having fun from losing money when they get the chance to win money. It is not the same as any other form of entertainment where you spend money for real entertainment and not having chance to win some money

Of course no I don't consider gambling as a bad thing because gamble is just for fun and I think its not bad to entertain yourself. And why would I be shameful? I didn't do anything wrong, gambling is not sin nor crime either as long as you didn't not abuse it or addicted to it. However, in our community gambling is considerable as a bad thing so you should be careful.

No, I don't.

I know gambling is bad and it is a waste of money, but it provides me satisfaction. And at the end of the day, that is what counts the most.
No gambling is not bad and a way of wasting of money for those who are gambling for satisfaction and for getting fun while if a person will not know about this idea and will gamble for making money then he definitely will spend his money and he will bet with high amount and the chances of lose will make him lose a high amount.
Generally gambling is indeed including a bad habit , a bad thing.
But actually it is depends on how you react and treat gambling itself , when you do gamble occasionally then there's no harm.
Gambling won't be a bad thing , as long as you do it responsibly nothing to be shame.

Actually in our society has concept that gambling is bad, that's why i hear people are simply saying that gambling is bad.
But sometime the question is come in my mind, that when we start a business of different kinds because we want to earn money and invest money on it. Than why we are not accepting that gambling is also a kind of business, where people use their money and start to earn from it. So what is bad in it and why we feel shame from being a gambler?

Gambling should not be shameful thats because gambling is just a way of entertainment on which people try their luck to double or triple their money. It is just natural for people to dream to become a millionaire in an instant or even just win a small amount of money just to get out of debt and poverty. I know some countries will count it as a sin because they see gambling as greed to which they think that you are not satisfied to everything you have. As in the bible says at the 7 deadly sins greed is one of them so thats why they see gambling as a seen but if you don't let your greed take over you and just play for fun I would say thats not a sin. For me I'm not  shameful but also I'm not a proud gambler I'm more like a neutral side it is not shameful because gambling is just a game like any other and not really proud because sometimes gambling can make you greedy so its like 50/50% percent.
The fact is that gambling for very few people's circles are just entertainment. Value entertainment or an attempt to make money people almost fall into the slavery of gambling. Purely psychological they have no opportunity to resist them.
