No, it is even some sort of proudness, since I am rather successful. Gambling is given a bad image because of the depressive people that lost everything, but when practiced responsibly, I consider it an healthy hobby just as horse betting or national lottery can be.
I think you are very lucky that you yourself claim to be successful. Mostly gamblers lose a lot and tell they are very unlucky. I guess you are just used in betting national lottery and horse betting that's why. But don't push your luck further that it might run out and end your successful gambling career.

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!
Yeah ofcourse i consider gambling as a bad thing because it always results into being broke financially and sometimes lead on family problem from what i have seen and read on news.I do not feel shameful on gambling since im not on it for a long time and i dont gamble with my money in.I dont hide my gambling career to anyone im open from my family and friends.

If we live in a country with a culture that still has a strong element of religion and  people know us as a gambler even though we gamble with our own money and never give anyone else a trouble, we will still get a very bad image and that's why I have to be embarrassed. To prevent things that could lead me to get a problem when one or more people near me knowing my habit,  I have to keep it secret as long as I can.

Maybe I'm not ashamed of being a gambler, but I'm not too proud of that either because with myself, I gamble as a weekend recreation, it helps me relax after a busy work week. With the people around me and my family, they view gambling as a social evils, something illegal, they want me to stay away and stop gambling, maybe they are right and they want good for me. Actually, I do not feel ashamed because I play with my money and I do not influence others but I can not be proud because so many people talk bad and curious about the problem I gamble, feeling really uncomfortable when people talk about you

Not at all - i earn my income with it.
It depend on what kind of gambling you play and how to.

I believe you. The fact that you actually are earning from it tells you that what you're doing is worth it and if it's beneficial then by all means continue to do it. Being ashamed or embarassed should only be applied to people who are not doing it right and are gambling way beyond their means to gamble

How often does that happen tbough? For you probably it works but for most gamblers, who are thinking that gambling can be a waynof life, it's not easy. Sometimes they borrow money from other people to gamble which could easily be a capital to fund a running business. I don't have anything against people using gambling as a way of life but of course with the risks it entails, sometimes you may be using other people's money to support your gambling even if you're not sure you can pay it back in time

Well not really I think there is nothing to be a shame of for being a gambler,
It was your choice and it was your money you played maybe you should be shameful if it was not your money.
Correct otherwise let's just say 50% of people are ashamed when they know people are actually playing gambling. And 50% of them are really proud for what they doing and enjoying life it is really our choice this is the path that took us i don't such kind asking debts and then used that to gamble. Hell no.

I am shameful if I lose bigger amounts of money and somebody see that then I fcking hate that but when I gamble on internet only I can see that and I am not shameful.

Losing was really a part of it, and besides winning in gambling is very seldom to be happen for the gamblers. The most often happened to us was losing in the game most of the time. and sometimes we maybe experienced winning in the games, but even we knew it already because of greediness we had in the end we've bigger bigger than our winning amount, at that was very shameful at all.

I don't really feel shameful about being a gambler only because I know that I could make money from it and I am not just wasting money on meaningless things. The whole purpose of gambling to me is having fun and while having fun the gambling experience has a learning course that is attached to it. Learning new things while gambling is also the reason why I tend to go back to gambling websites and gamble again since most of the gambling matches don't stay the same every day the new matches are interesting to watch.

Yes, i also want to ask why people feel ashamed? But i think something is happening in our society that the question come into our mind. Otherwise, gambling is really full of enjoyment way, i really feel it, whenever i feel sad and bore than i try to play gambling, than it give me full of energetic excitement.

I guess you are betting on sports matches based on what you've said .
Well there is nothing to be ashamed of because you know your goal in playing gambling .Gambling will be meaningless if you only played for profit because it is not the course of gambling its for fun times only. You will only feel shameful if you done bad things just to play gambling thats it.

Well not really I think there is nothing to be a shame of for being a gambler,
It was your choice and it was your money you played maybe you should be shameful if it was not your money.
i think in different condition we feel shame if in your society gambling is banned and still you are playing and if they know about this thenn you will certaily feel sham. and if you are also losing a ot of money instead of winning then you will also feel shame.

When you are living in a society where everyone treats gambler as criminal or something that has a low life valued of living. Maybe that can make you feel ashamed as a gambler. Because even on how good you are but if you are against the odd and the society that you are living, you are the one to give up and will feel shameful on it.

I think gambling is not a bad thing. Although gambling has caused many to collapse, bankruptcy but it is just a game, there is nothing embarrassing when we play gambling. But do not be too passionate gambling, if you addicted to gambling gambling, that is a shame, it will affect you and your family. Before, I used to be very gambling, but I gave up. Now I only play silver as a leisure game. Gambling is not bad but we have to know how to use it properly, do not be too addicted to gambling

Alot of people are actually ashamed when people know that they are gambling. Perhaps it is more of social condition where someone live. Depends on your country as well. When it comes to a country that is legal then it is not a problem if you are gambling however if it is not then it might be a problem for you
As long as you are not addicted and gambling is not influencing your life in a negative way there is nothing to worry about.
In some parts of our world there are places where women are told that exposing their hair will shame them, and is is cardinal sin.
So yeah, don't let others manipulate your feelings after all this world is a pretty fucked up place.

no matter if you live in a modern apartment housing or a big city.
all people tend to not socialize in this case, I don't feel there is a bad word from my neighbor, if there is, I wouldn't care about their lives, it is important to me to keep going forward, and also what I did was not a crime.

This case if your neighbors are all religious people and found out that you are a full time gambler.  But in most cases neighbor does not care.  It is your life and they have their own life and problems to take care too.  So there is no reason to feel ashame for being a gambler.  As long as we do not affect other people in negative way.

It does make a difference if you are living in a small town and everyone knows you personally and in that case if they come to know that you are a gambler then they will start talking negative things about you and will even boycott you from the society.
