in fact it was very cool, but it is illegal, so I think it would be embarrassing if you are known by many people that you're a gambler. well, very much look cool for a gambler, but when they fail, it will be very ugly. well, frankly it might be embarrassing.

Yeah, that is really embarrassing that everyone knew that you lost and your face as a gambler will really go down. Though after that people will forget what happened and gotta move on to other stories in life. But it is not really that cool or ugly making yourself a gambler because it really depends on how you gamble each day. Many people this time are having a hard time avoiding gambling and having a problem about being broke, that is shameful.

I personally quit gambling after a long run and after I sit down with myself and realized that it won’t get me anywhere and I can’t build a life around gambling even if it gives me easy money from time to time.

I realized that working hard is far more satisfying than gambling for the money, and the money I earn form gambling gets spend fast and without caring where it goes unlike the money I earn with hard work.

Gambling destroys lives and turns people like ourselves into what we are now. To be honest I am I ashamed being a gambler but wanting to do something to change my image to other people who knew about me that I am a gambler it is a huge step it's hard but worth the effort.

That is completely wrong, it's not gambling who destroy lives but gambling addiction which lead to losing more than you can afford to lose is the main reason. You cannot blame gambling at any point as there are still gamblers who do it just for fun, they may lose but since they are responsible, they can still continue in their lives and let go of the loses.

People will have different feeling while playing gambling because they will feel shy to share the news to his friends and family when the won money through gambling. Because many people have feeling that gambling is an illegal activity.

That's the biggest problem of today's society. They don't let people enjoy their life or let them do something they actually wanna do. I think the people who say to you that gambling is bad, illegal , etc they should ignore those people and enjoy their life.

Gambling and drugs and all the other things that are illegal are bad for the individual and/or for the society. Some believe that one must be able to do whatever they want to do as long as it doesn't affect other people. For example, one can do drugs and gamble whole day long as long as they don't hurt other people. It's their body, let them do whatever they want to do, right? That's what people must be thinking. When democracy was implemented, freedom was taken in a much different way than the government expected. Today, freedom means the sky is the limit. Freedom means that doing whatever you want without anyone interrupting you at all.

That's the very reason why people say "YOLO" and then do some shady activity that might put them to jail.

Well I agree that drugs can disturb other people as most people get 'high'. But gambling? How does gambling affect other people. He has money he goes to casinos which are legit and registered with all the documents , etc. But no still people have problem with that because he is gambling. The problem of the people is they have a mindset that gambling is bad, illegal even though most of the times it isn't , but I think the best solution is to ignore those people who have a problem with you because you gamble.

Let's just say that this gambler has a family just like most of us. As a member of that family, he has to contribute financially, give time to his family, and show some actual efforts to prove that he cares about his family. If you gamble, you cannot give them money because you would end up having very little money. You wouldn't have time as well because you're busy gambling. And you wouldn't have the time to show actual efforts to prove that you love them because you're broke and busy.

Please don't play dumb because it's pretty easy to imagine these things. Not all of the time "don't care about other people" mindset works. At the end, it would have consequences to you like missing out the little things..

The only way I can see one could be ashamed of being a gambler is if it starts dragging him to the bottom, to poverty.

Yes if you are this type of gambler and you should really be ashamed of yourself and don't let your relatives that you are in gambling. Because if know that gambling pulls you down, you're dead now.

Quote from: pixie85 on February 06, 2017, 10:51:32 PM

You have to be careful not to bet your life savings, because many gamblers ended up homeless, with no friends and family. This is surely something to be ashamed of!

This is what we call irresponsible gambling, if you used to move your funds or life savings then you must be ashamed of yourself for it or else it is fine because that was your fund.

Exactly, that is why we need to be careful with our move and we have to stay in control. We will not gonna like it when gambling will be dictating everything, we don't want to live in gambling alone as we have life and we can do more to have a joyful life.

I have been in a situation where I was shameful when losing the money that I supposed not to gamble and I regret that time and correct my mistakes.

There is nothing to be shameful as I am playing gamble with my own money and as long as others are not disturbed it is fine for me. All my friends and family know I am doing gambling both online and offline even there I do in company of my friends. I am not greedy that is which prevent me from troubles and well balanced gambling is good to go for me.

That's really a healthy approach to gambling. I think if your gambling hurts no one you shouldn't be ashamed of it. But you have to be cautious because as far as I know many gambling addicts were starting with healthy approach at the beginning.

That's it, as long as you stay happy in gambling and you were able to balance things out, not sacrificing your happiness in life because of gambling, then I guess it is alright to gamble. In fact, gambling was created to give us entertainment so there is nothing we should be ashamed of.
It could be illegal in some countries but it doesn't mean it's a bad thing, if it is, then the whole world would simply ban gambling.

The key here is not to listen to others because we have to live our life the way we should want it to be.

But in some places if gambling is not considered as good thing and mostly bad company is involved in gambling in that place then even those people will feel as shameful because people will also think for him the same as they will think for a bad company. In those places people often like to gamble in online gambling websites especially in those websites where they pay in bitcoin.

Not in some place alone but in all places but civilisation has made things easier where people can go into big casinos and gamble away their money but I think that the disdain the society gives to gambling is because the people playing it are never to do well which means if anyone should join in, then he/she is going that part and that's where the shame comes in and me personally won't engage in it where the society can judge me as we are part of the big family and there is nothing one can do about it.

Yes these all depend on the places where you are living if you are living in gambling favored place like on these places everyone gamble with safe manners and even good citizens also gamble then you will not feel shame otherwise on other places where gambling is not considered as a good habit playing there is not good as it will be more shameful for you to live in that society and people will not be in good relation with you if they find you are a gambler.

Yup it will depend on the place where we live. For example, if you live in Las Vegas you don't feel shame because it's gamblers dream country. And everyone will play gambling and full city with only casinos. But in your country gambling is illegal and people will treat gamblers like robbers etc. then for you online gambling is good. You can do hidden gambling. I am staying in this type of country.

if you are only gambling your OWN money then I believe there is nothing to be ashamed off specially if you get your money through your own hardwork ! It is no one else problem if it lose or win as long as you didnt do anything illegal then there is nothing to be ashamed of

I believe in you ! We have the same Idea ! As long as you dont hurt anyone feelings and just yourself then you are good ! There is nothing to be ashamed of If you only lose your money except if you are losing your family money including your son budget to schools then stop and start to feel ashamed !!!

Losing it is just a drug addicted there is still bad effect for that i you are just losing your money and you can hurt someone or your self.. its not a good idea it could be ashamed. much better to just to gamble if you really looking for entertainment and fun, and you have a proper limitation for your self .. dont fool your self in gambling that 3 paths that can bring gambling to you either to be fun or to win or to lose too much..
If you are just limiting your self in gambling you will not lose too much and you are just gamble for fun and i think you can not feel shameful with that way..

It's what you do with your own money, that is your own problem. I agree with you and others don't have a say with it EXCEPT if you are addicted to it. If it is destroying relationships and forgetting your responsibilities, that is not good. You should be ashamed of yourself that you are not in control. That's the time you should be ashamed. Assess yourself whether you're on the right side or not.
