You're a professional like a lawyer or a teacher in a respected university, will it harm your reputation if people around you or your students discover that you are into gambling, you're not really a compulsive gambler but gamble for entertainment, how will you explain this to people around you or will you explain to protect your reputation or just ignore them.

Considering the said facts above, I can still consider myself a professional teacher or lawyer because I only seek gambling for entertainment. There's no harm in my reputation for that because it's just a past time, it's not like that I'm so addicted towards gambling. The students are the ones who will be questioned why they are in the casino or gambling houses, they can't know that I'm gambling if they weren't there. Right? Grin

I don't need to explain anything to people. I know what I am doing and explaining them about my personal activities seems off to me. Besides, I do not have to prove myself to them since they don't bother proving their point of view towards me. I just let them think whatever they think is right and just prove myself through actions since it speaks better that words.

I disagree that in 21 century people don't care about gambling. Gambling is still a taboo in many culture - many society still disapproves gambler.
People don't trust a gambler and sometime - the gamblor too takes an advantage of time and funds.
Had I to decide. I would not have gamblor on board.

You are right. People still care about gambling in many places until now, and people view gambling as a taboo. I guess in your place, gambling is still taboo, too. For everyone who comes from a place that the society still thinks gambling is taboo, better to not tell anyone about your gambling activities. It will risk you to tell your neighbor about your gambling activities. Even, it is not necessary to tell your family, too.

Even if there’s a lot of ways to gamble now, many still believe that gambling is a bad activities and in my country many still believes on this so better not to expose your activities especially if you are a professionals since it might affect your career if ever. There’s a law that prohibits government employees though to involve in gambling, I don’t know if this is also available in other country, but in my country they are strictly following such law or else they’ll face dismissal.

I don't think recreational gambling will cause a loss of reputation. People need to have fun every once in a while and reduce their stress. If a person is a fierce gambler and only thinks about gambling of course he is not respected. But the fact that people with teaching-style professions gamble worries families. This is unacceptable for families who entrust their children to teachers. Nobody wants people who are educators to gamble.

For some areas and countries that are quite free, it might be possible but for some countries that are strict with rules and here maybe my country, including being a gambler, will definitely be labeled as one of the people who can be said to have failed and their reputation has been affected.
Even though we don't say it explicitly but from a few glances and talking behind our backs it is clear that we will be considered as people who do have a bad reputation when gambling.

We are in 21st-century bro, no one cares about you as long as you do your work right and don't allow four gambling activities to affect your job. I don't think there is any we're in your terms and conditions in your employment letter where it is stated that you can not partake in such activities and if that be the case you will have to face a panel if you are discovered to be a gambler.

Even though we are in the 21st-century, the fact is that there are still many countries where gambling is illegal and the people think about it negatively. Simple example is in my country, aside that gambling is a crime based on the law, gambling is also a sin by most religion. This is why gambling activity may affect our reputation in my country especially someone is a well-known person in where they live. People will think about him/her negatively regardless how good he/she as general person in the community.

No doubt about that. Mostly in the third world countries people are still seeing gambling as a criminal activities and they were doing discrimination to the someone who already caught played gambling. that's quite different with developed countries where people didn't care so much about what others did as long as the activity didn't disturbing others. that's why mostly of gamblers in third world countries have bad reputation compared when it was living in the developed countries.

Where I live it wouldn't be a big deal if a, let's say, a student saw me in a casino. Professional groups like teachers, doctors, or lawyers don't make a big deal out of it since it's legal. If they saw me in a brothel it would be pretty much the same. Maybe if they saw me in a brothel and I had a wife it would become an popular rumor, but they wouldn't fire me because of it.

In modern societies gambling is seen more like smoking. Many people don't smoke and don't like smokers but you don't fire people because they're heavy smokers.

Sure, you probably won't get fired, but the relationship with your students might be different after they see you.

They had an idea in their heads and then seeing you there, or smoking, etc, changes that perception.

I'm not saying it's necessarily a bad thing, but they will see you differently.

Or maybe it will make them think that they can also play gambling, smoke, or go to a brothel even though they are not yet categorized as adults who can be responsible for what they do, even though many adults themselves cannot be responsible. But still, it will make the people around you who see you gamble will think a lot of things and most of them will not reveal it directly to you. Yes, I agree it can change their perception of us and if you feel okay, you can keep gambling or something.

Unfortunately, it can't be applied to all professions even if these people are just gambling for fun and reducing stress.

For example, people saw a politician gambling in a casino or any gambling-related establishment. The first impression is surely negative since there will be speculations that the money used in gambling is intended for the public even in reality the politician is just taking a break or having a bit of fun after heavy work and using their own money to gamble.

To conclude, if a profession is highly recognized and seems sensitive, always keep in mind that gambling might be a big issue if others saw them doing that, especially in a public place like a physical casino.

There would always be people who feel skeptical with the gamblers. This is unavoidable. It's caused by once these people know if you are gamblers and they will marked you forever. I do agree that if this is personal decision you can't make others who dislike you to be like you.
I think that this is risk when you are become a gambler. There will be some who didn't care with what you are doing and there are others who care about that and marked you as a gambler then your reputation got harmed.

I still think this is a thing to others especially for those religious people who believe such gambling is a bad idea and we can't do anything about it. No matter what you do there are people that will always have something to say so... If you don't want to ruin your happiness, just ignore the eff out of them and maybe next time you should try to discreet your movement especially in public where people can see you. It will affect your whole career if someone was going to destroy you just because you gamble for entertainment. I'm sure if a professional lawyer was being called like that they have some explanation about it.

Here in my country it would not be a problem it is just about occasional gambling, the worse case scenario it would be just a little bit of gossip if someone catches you on the slots, unless the job itself has to do with religion or money managing.

In the case of problem gambling, then it could indeed damage one's reputation as professional, not much but it would close some doors ahead in the career, specially if it became obvious for people around the workplace. In general, though, some ocasional betting is not problem, people commonly do it during football world cups, in that case there is no need to hide it.

Depends on a certain person because there are individuals which are really that too sensitive when it comes on other peoples views or they dont really like that they would be looking bad
in front of many people or even if its his/her students,which basically means that this is situation.Even myself wont really be that too confident on letting others see on what im doing
but there are times which i dont really care as long it do makes me happy then this do what matter the most.
Dont mind other peoples words and views and just do on what things you do want to do, its your money not theirs.

True.

You don't have to be bothered by other people because you're gambling, and you don't have to bother yourself telling them what you're up to and what you do.

It's your personal life and they don't have to be attached to you and things that you do. You have all the right to gamble or do with the money you earn.

That's rignt. I believe it all depends on attitudes, if you go to the casino and someone sees you, but you act so normal, nothing happens. Going once in a while and gambling responsibly doesn't have to affect your reputation. You can do whatever you want in your free time.

But nowadays if someone doesn't want to be seen, they have a multitude of options for gambling online.

I guess, I can make the perfect example of this from the series on Netflix "Squid Game". One character there seems decent and professional but he's in total debt and a liar to his mother from the job he's doing but he's acting decent and good and as if he's not into problems, Cho Sang-Woo while the other character who's a gambler too is Gi-Hun but living miserably.

The good thing that we have right now in online gambling is that, we're all free to do it and nobody sees you unless you speak it to someone that you do it.

Remember that it's your money, your time and you don't harm others from doing it but, it's a different story when you're already harming yourself and others with gambling.

Indeed, I don't even know what could be done if I were in their place, because the prevailing stereotype regarding gambling as a vice leaves in fact a person caught in them not so many options for excuses. I would just have to ignore it and try not to play anymore, at least in public places.

First off, I think the word gambling has been misinterpreted to an extent that people no longer understand the difference between recreational or fun gambling to fierce or addicted gambling. Generally, people in the society today do not respect gamblers irrespective of their class or profession and for a teacher to be involved in gambling sends a bad signal because apart from families being scared of entrusting their wards and children to them, there is a possibility of the kinds emulating their lifestyle hence they seen them as people who are responsible because of their profession. PS, I don't respect addicted gamblers and I can't entrust my kids to them because they can easy influence them.

I think the reputation depends on the personality and even if we do gambling as long as we don't harm others and we don't steal others money and we are pair then we are still reputable, i have a lot of friends a teacher that do gambling but still they are reputable that was thier hard earned money and they have the right to use that money even in gambling.

Yeah, in this modern times, we will hear a lot of people having this kind of reasoning. But there could be another group who still believed that they need to protect their reputation from others and so they don't want others to kno that they are into gambling. So respect for them its very important, and with that, they either have to choose or continue doing it until such time that someone is going to destroy them in public with all of this allegations. And probably you will lost the trust of your community.
