I personally don't feel ashamed from being a gambler. However in my neighborhood people think you are some kind of retard, alcoholic addict and all the worse if they know you are a gambler. For this reason I don't game in public, only online through FIAT sportsbook (very little amounts) and through bitcoin, my main betting activity. Bitcoin helps a lot in this regard.
As long as we are sticking with online gambling, then there would be no need to get ashamed for being a gambler even we are facing continuous losses with it. Whenever we are gambling only through online there would be less chances for our neighborhood to know ourselves as a gambler.
But it is not about other people but definitely what you yourself think about your gambling activities ?

When you are not making any benefits from gambling and blindly continuing it why not you get ashamed for your actions of being addicted to gambling ?

Maybe an addicted gambler even will not care about his inner thoughts.

I certainly do not feel shameful about gambling, if I feed my family & pay my bills I am guilt free. Besides I only play around with small 'ish' amounts Wink



As described I too don't feel ashamed of being a gambler. It's based upon one's need for money as well fun. Most users with high expectations involve into gambling which needs to be avoided. In my view who expects a living with gambling needs to be ashamed because it doesn't look to be the right decision.

Not at all even though i know the risks of gambling, but i don't let anyone knows because i live in religious country where gambling and many things are considered as sin, criminal or shameful activity.

I gamble with money that I can afford to lose so no I am not ashamed to be a gambler. It's only a problem for people who gamble with too much money thet they personally can not afford to do without.

For example don't gamble with money you need for bills & food bit any idiot knows this.

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 consisted 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!

Shameful of doing gambling, if I will put it in myself to that, why should I in the first place? I don't considered gambling as a bad thing since people are the one to blame why they are facing some bad effects after doing gambling. Gambling is just a thing and people's respond to gambling are the main concern here.

As Im not shameful for being a gambler, Im not saying Im a proud too. That is ridiculous if I will state that. Im enjoying my gambling life now, that's it and Im open to my families and friends that Im doing gambling.

When I was addicted I did. Because I was an addict and instead of saving and being clever with my money I went and I gambled the lot away.
Trying to gain it back is an endless cycle since you win it back but get greedy and try win more and then end up losing it all and you even further in debt ?

If you are gambling and losing money regularly that you cant afford to lose then you need to get help.  The whole shameful thing comes from indoctrination of society.  Basically if people are spending their lifes gambling they aren't good workers for society if the idea, its slave culture.

I don't. Why should I feel shameful when I won money for free? Unlike others, I'm only gambling with faucets so I do not lose any money. And even if I won $100 and then lost it, it would be exactly like I never had it. If you can control yourself and play with limits, you have no reason to feel like that.

No, I gamble for fun, it is just like buying coin to play games, the one that should be a shame is when you borrowed money from your friends or family and then you spend it on gambling, or because of gambling you do a bad things, when you do such a thing then you can be shameful to yourself, as long as you gamble with responsible I think it is fine

It would depend on which country do you live in and what type of people are surrounding you because some people see a gambler is a bad person because they usually see the negative effects or negative side of being a gambler on which they make their life miserable thats why some just like to hide themselves but if you are living on a place on which gambling is everywhere then it feels like a freedom.

Others consider it as bad because they know it could become an addiction. I don't consider gambling as a bad thing when it's in moderation. I don't feel shameful or proud either but i'll tell them the truth if they ask me questions about me as a gambler.

So is drinking an alcohol or eating beef and doing various other things in public etc.
Why I must agree with other people's opinion as long as my activities are not harmful to others?
I have nothing to be ashamed of as long as am not degenerated addict.

I don't see any reason to be ashamed if a person is a gambler.  As long as people is not harming other people or have an effect to its family negatively there is no reason to be ashamed of it.  Aside from that if we are spending the money that is ours, and not compromised to other family budgets, i don't see any wrong in there nor any reason to see it a bad thing.

Gambling is not that bad, as long you exploit your experience to earn money, if you said that because you think that gambling gives you money without any effort  contrary with other jobs, you should look at traders, investors, they do not make any effort, should they feel shamefull?
For me, I see gambling as a risky way to earn a lot of money, just like trading and investing, and I do not feel shamefull when I gamble.
