Though I am a believer, I do not feel ashamed to gamble, as this is something reasonable, that I do not hurt anyone and that I entertain myself !

If you feel shameful, it means you did something wrong in the gambling site that are very embarrassing on which you don't like to know by your friends, relatives and special someone. So you keep hiding it to them Smiley
but if don't do anything bad, nothing to be ashamed with them.
It also depends on the culture, in my country some forms of gambling are even traditional of our people so there is no shame associated with playing those games but in some cultures and religious traditions gambling is strictly forbidden, so for people living under those cultures, they could be ashamed of their actions.

That will be a shameful if you turn into gambler addict, you will lose control of yourself, start to borrowing money to people around you, have a lot debt and could be end into jail.

Personally I'm not really often do gamble and since I used bitcoin only for payment people around me don't know my gambling activity.
If people know my gambling activity, I'm not ashamed, because I used it with my money.
WOuld it be okay to tell others?
There should be no problem with telling others, gambling is not a sin or a crime, so there is nothing to hide. People who think that gambling is bad is uneducated with the how the world is changing fast, they only look on the possible negative results of a gambler but they failed to see how much fun it can bring to the gamblers.

Its only you that sees that until when one becomes addicted to the losing part of gambling that it might be shameful but the community does not see it that way. Over here, the moment you move close to the vicinity of the gamblers even if its for sight seeing you are already judged and this brings shame. For me, when I want to gamble, I stick to my bitcoin so I don't have to report my activities to anyone...

You can be shameful depending on your situation . For example you live in macau and everybody their loves playing gambling. No one is ashamed that they are gamblers , its just that it is depending on your situation.
Yeah exactly true. In my country and more particularly in my city we all consider gambling as a criminal activity and in fact that is the reason why I prefer bitcoins as I cannot give my ID and other proofs to the sites like bet365.

I cannot comment if this is right or wrong but actually we should reserve the right to spend our money the way we want.

I would be ashamed if I lose all my bankroll as well as savings through gambling but if I'm even or up because of gambling the why be ashamed? Be happy that you have earned some extra money because of your gambling.
Very positive approach!
yes many people when earn money feel happy and tell to their friends in that case they do not feel shameful but in the cases when a person lose their money especially their wealth in gambling then he do not tell about it to anyone and feel shameful when someone hear about that.
In my case its opposite haha because when I won money I used to tell my friends that I am earning by trading while when a time came where I lost too much and my friends gave me loans also Tongue then I lost and had to openly accept that I gamble.

Anyhow I paid them though and you know the problem ? Guys trusted me hell when they knew I am trader while now knowing that I am a gambler they don't even listen to me much when I ask money or tell them even legit strategies.
That's a quite good story .meanwhile the point there is many people when they know or on my own when you say you are a trader,you're a big time people all we know a trader or trading is a buy and sell ,but when we entry the gambling it is a bad idea especially when they know you lose even one time only 😀 .
Yup, i will share my trading activity with my friends, but I will not share my gambling activity. I don't like to share this thing with friends I don't know exactly why, but I feel that gambling is bad activity and if they know that I am playing gambling there respect will automatically change that I don't like. So I will not share my gambling activity with others.

My culture depict gambling to be for irresponsible people. Why? most gamble get to take your money away and wins rarely. A responsible man in my community is demanded to rather invest than give your fate to the air. Also i cant campaign for any gambling site on this forum,Yes! Is that bad.
Good for you to stick that up and what kind of culture is that my son. If you look at Vegas ,only the rich come over there and gamble and you call them irresponsible for being rich  Tongue Gambling is meant to be fun and you wont be getting anything back when gambling.Stick on with your policies and will see whether you will change your mind later.  Tongue

Yes that is the point to be happy if a person earn money with gambling but mostly no one earn at gambling but only a few people earn on gambling that is why mostly you will face shameful.
I think when this thread was started basically the meaning of shameful for being a gambler was that should we feel bad that we do gambling and earn money with it. Because if you see a person whom you know he gambles then you wont trust him a bit, right ? Now think yourself who so man !

Because gambling in some part of our mind is considered as a bad and shameful activity.
Yes :/

No, I do not feel shameful, I even at the inverse feel a bit proud of this, in the sense that I am quite talented and manage to get some little profits.

Well you have to be careful though dude and avoid being cocky even if you're earning from gambling as sometimes we can get too confident which leads to our monetary demise. If you're doing good so far and you're not stepping on other people's foot, then you have all thw right to be proud and not be ashamed

If you feel shameful, it means you did something wrong in the gambling site that are very embarrassing on which you don't like to know by your friends, relatives and special someone. So you keep hiding it to them Smiley
but if don't do anything bad, nothing to be ashamed with them.
People feel shameful and hide from friends not because they have done anything wrong but because they feel that if their friends will know that he s gambler then people would look at him like a thief lol though I never understand why watching a movie is considered as a royal activity while spending money on gambling is pity.

What do you mean by doing something wrong in gambling??. What's wrong in gambling it is just a way were some people can double their investment in few seconds.
And I don't think people are ashamed of gambling it is just the society they live or their surroundings which they reside in thinks gambling is bad maybe for religious purpose or maybe in general people don't like gamblers for no reason.
I would recommend those people who feel ashamed to gamble to start gambling online.

This is true there is really a society on which when they saw you gamble they will see you as a bad man already which they always believe on what they have learned or views its either on religious beliefs or other stuff but theres nothing wrong with it as long you do enjoy and you dont waste off too much money.

During my gambling days, I also feel lucky, and most of the time I am winning, that is why I am not ashamed to tell it to my wife... But later on I lose one time and I realized that I shouldn't have proudly told it to my wife that I am winning in gambling, as she is always expecting a win from me since that time... Then I quit...  Smiley
Yes that is the case when someone will win will not feel shameful because he will feel better than others while those who will lose will feel shameful because people will think about him the same as they are thinking for the addicts who often lose their wealth in gambling.

You feel proud and tell everything to your wife when you get luck, when you often win the game. It was very normal, because you definitely want to make your wife happy, and you know he would have been happy when you win. But when you lose a fortune, you were embarrassed, it was also normal. In essence, gambling can become a proud and embarrassing, depending on the situation.

Whether I lose or win from my gambling actions, for sure I won't tell it to my wife. She will not proud even if I win a huge amount of money. I have to lie to her, everytime I give her some money beside my monthly salary. I told her that I got the extra money from trading and she trusts me and doesn't make any further question.
Therefore you should not break that trust, you can in gambling for fun only and focus more on trading as obviously it can give you a good return than in gambling. For me, I believe my wife deserves to know what I am doing, for the reason that I do need her advise from time to time.
- We do not need to feel ashamed, but also should not feel proud. You will be proud if you lie to your wife and you will be proud if you lie to your child, you will be proud because you are gambling, the answer is no. If you gamble with good purpose, you will not feel ashamed and if you gamble with bad intentions, you should feel ashamed. Depending on the purpose of each one, but I advise you not to lie to the family, because they are the people you love and reliable
