Shame it was definitely in my area because gambling is forbidden regardless prohibited by religion. actual gambling is also banned by the parents but I still do it

So why gamble if it is shameful in your part? aside from that it is forbidden by in where you are situated... Also your parents too, they don't want you to gamble, why not obey them so you'll have a happy life without hiding anything from them and from the society... IMO, if it is forbidden in where I am, I'd rather stop than violating the rules... I'd rather use my time and money in useful things that could make me more money...  Smiley

Is hard for me to tell a friend's or family about my activity in gambling, they will say gambling is bad activity and gambler is people who don't have attitude, not only gambling when I say have trading activity they will be say same too. But for me will be shameful when I got addiction on gambling and try every ways to still gambling and use money for daily live, when we still can control and not being addicted it's will be ok.
in fact  in most of the societies gambling is consider as bad activity may be because of its addicted attitude, and people in such societies do not treat to such people with honour, therefore such people feel shame when people people know about their gambling activities. therefore to me i think online gambling is the best solution for that. as one can play anonymously and no one will know about hi identity and therefore he will never fell sham for it.
Yeah right and actually it is considered as a poor activity because doing gambling means that person cannot earn money via hard work or does not have the commitment of doing so. In both the ways its quite pity.

While someone like me who is doing a good job and earning cool then doing gambling the society respects me. It is all about money guys, believe me. You have money you get respect no matter if you even are a robber !

For me I don't feel to be ashamed for being a gambler because I gamble my own money that I earned and worked for it. Unless I am gambling my parent's money I will be ashamed for it. This question depends on your own perspective about gambling.

There's nothing be ashamed of if we are risking our very own hard earned money. Those people who are using other people just to satisfy their gambling addiction and doesn't have their own money to gamble are the ones who should be ashamed of. We work hard, we earn and we enjoy, depending on your enjoyment if that is with gambling.

Yep, sometimes i feel shame for playing slots. And my gf makes me feel it even more, she literally hates me for that.

If it is already a relative of yours that's telling you, that means there is something wrong with the way you gamble... If it is your girlfriend, maybe she don't know that you are a gambler before...Don't worry about it, she'll get used to it once she saw you betting always... But if she is not comfortable because of it, maybe there's something that you need to change... A girl never reacts as long as what you are doing is not affecting here or if your gambling activity turns you into someone else that she don't know...  Smiley
but i think it is mostly relative with your society and your religion, if your religion and your society allow you to play gambling without feeling shame. but if you society do not allow you or your religion consider gambling as sin thn you must feel sham for that.
Is there really a society that does not allow people to gamble? if so, then they do not have the freedom. I am happy I live in a place where I can gamble anytime I want, I can do it with my friend and even with my relatives, that is how open we are because we always consider gambling as just a way of having fun. I even encourage them to gamble online and they are very receptive to it.

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!

This will depend of how individuals handle it. If you don't know how to handle it properly just always losing money, that will be very shameful I think. But if this is profitable to you and helpful too, there's nothing to be ashamed of to others instead you becoming inspiration to the community here.
Well you can feel not shameful but others may make you so though

I guess it depends on what kind of gambler you are, for you to be ashamed. You can be ashamed if you are that type of gambler which have so many debts because of being addictive to gambling and losses all of his money, that is why all he knows is to borrow money to his friends or in a bank just to have money, for him to use in gambling, which in the end, he ended up broke and got nothing, that is the thing that we should avoid because it the shameful thing that we can ever have as a gambler.

My family knows about this that I am a gambler, but they are proud of me that it is not my habit to gamble continuously. I always gamble and go for the best available times when I feel that I will win. That way, I feel secured from losing everything at once, and the only reason why I don't feel shameful, but feel proud on myself sometimes.
i think gambling is not something to proud on it and specially if you are addicted. i think no parents can feel proud on their parents to play gambling, they will never like their children to lost money or become addicted, in our society if my parents or elder know about my habits of gambling they will really charge me for that.
Not being shamed by it doesn't automatically mean that you're proud for gambling.
It's one of those things that most people only find shameful when they realize that they're getting addicted.

Shame is actually a pretty indicator when you're getting addicted imo.
Let us not be addicted with gambling so we will not gonna be shame on it, there is nothing to be ashame for when we are doing it for entertainment or when it is giving us great income. I like to gamble because I have more fun when it is part of my daily routine but I always remember the risk to enable me to control myself.

Yes in many cultures gambling is considered as a bad thing, but it never really is about the culture or the country, it is about the person who and its status in life(i.e. he/she has a family to feed etc..).
for me, I don't feel ashamed for being a gambler I don't have a family to feed but I, and I'm able to control myself whenever I feel that I am losing and that's when I stop.

Yeah i also feel the same way. If you're not affecting other's people's lives with your gambling, then there's nothing to be ashamed of. Though i don't think its something to be proud of as well unless you're a renowned professional gambler.

That's normal, you can't expect anyone who is in their straight way of life to tell you that gambling is just fine. Even those things that they don't know, they consider it as a bad habit or a wrong doing. You need more time so you could convince them that you are doing just fine in trading, but I doubt if you could convince them that gambling is good and that you are just fine.

But if you are sure that your gambling habit is not bad, then don't be ashame about it.
