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.

I doubt that somebodies reputation cannot be mended. If anything we don't live in some asian country where "face" is the most important thing in the world. Everybody makes mistakes and its completely fine that they do. But whenever a doctor makes the same mistakes we forget he is human and instead tend to think he has now become a lesser being. Someone not to be trusted. Which has a bit of truth to it. But depends on the situation.

I would take a gambling doctor over a doctor with a reputation of making many wrong diagnoses. Although I would be careful with my money around a gambling doctor. He might try to sell you unnecessary medicine or prescribe unnecessary treatments to make some money.

if you are not a compulsive gambler, why should it affect your reputation especially if it does not affect your work? but then again, there are people who love judging people and people who have strong opinion against gambling. you don't really have to explain yourself but if the people around you started being distant or rude because of your gambling hobby I guess you can give them a piece of your mind

Some schools has a strict rules for there professors to become role model to there student. Like on my previous school which is a catholic school that prohibits teachers on doing this kind of things publicly because gambling is bad in my country while student might be influenced if the one who educate them is doing it. It’s still depends on the country culture and company view on acceptance on gambling. This suggestion is case to case basis and not applicable to all.

I kind of get the point that some schools have strict rules and want their teachers to be role models for their students. but outside these exceptions, a gambling hobby shouldn't be a reason to affect your reputation.

In general I think that gamblers should try to avoid spreading information about gambling hobbies outside their families and friends because many people believe that gambling carries only trouble. And if it so happened that someone found out about my hobby I will not begin to justify to them because only I choose what to do in my spare time and am responsible for it.

yeah, anyone really shouldn't justify what their hobbies are as long as it doesn't affect other people. people who love to shame people because of their gambling habits should be ignored, unless of course if they start to spread misinformation about me that affects my work/life.

fortunecrypto (OP)
Thanks to this function I searched for you more quickly, in fact I was able to look very quickly.

So, you disappeared from the topic, it is not a topic that one should see so frequently in this section but the questioning of the enjoyment of betting is constant and it is not that it is not an important topic, of course it is, but if the OP does not interact on a particular point like the one mentioned in the OP, it would be questionable to say that he only wanted to open a topic for... because he felt like it, or simply interested the topic...

...but it is a topic that has been widely discussed, in other versions and contexts, e.g. such as hiding from betting habits from family, friends, work, anyone has already been exposed several times... but why should I question you, the same happens with many things in life, with gambling is recurring!, ever thinking that someone who bets should be questioned or should hide in the shadows.

Some cases to look at:

Scarnati is a politician (U.S.) was tempted by an offer that took him for a ride to Las Vegas.
Nun bet, yeah! it was questionable because in this case if it was wrong because the nun stole the money to bet.
Presidents of the United States who were fans of the game of poker:
- George Washington.
- Abraham Lincoln
- Richard Nixon
- Warren Harding
Billionaires! really the list is long are those who have the so-called infinite bankroll:Bill Gates, has been seen several times at the tables of the Bellagio Casino, Las Vegas, betting $2000-$1000 cash games poker (NLH), the Casino has/had a special room for his private games.
Recently Queen Elizabeth II died, she was a fan of horse betting

So, let's leave that poor lawyer, engineer, teacher, housewife, you, me, etc. we don't have to explain our habits to anyone, except your wife.

Joe Scarnati
Four American Presidents Who Were Famous Poker Fans
80-year-old nun gets year in prison for stealing $835,000 from school to pay for gambling habit: "I have sinned"
Find the story when Bill Gates asks Doyle Brunson to sign his book.
The Queen has earned more than £7million in 30 years of racing.

As times are changing, people are also changing their perspectives in life.
However, much better if you keep it to yourself if you are a regular gambler.
If you are a professional, some people are looking up to you and they may see it as negative especially if they don't know why you are into gambling.
But if you are just betting in few occasions only like if you bet if your favorite boxer has his fight or your football team is in the arena.
I believe it is fine but in my opinion, it is still in your best interest to keep your gambling activities private even if it doesn't affect your real job.

When people see you gambling, they can then assume that you have a problem and you are using gambling as an escape room. They think the problems that you experience will affect your career so they will be less confident about the service that you are offering but how can you say that sports betting are fine? What about casino games? I think they are still the same.

It only becomes bad if you are over betting and if you are addicted on the game already but yeah if I am one of those professionals, I will only gamble on the comfort of my own home, not because I am avoiding criticism but because I am more relaxed and focused there.

This is an important point when someone is addicted to gambling. At that moment only gambling can be unsafe for him. Moreover, nothing good can be expected from a legitimate person if he is addicted. From that point of view it would be disrespectful. But if one is gambling occasionally or irregularly it may be acceptable.

Depending on where do you live, if you live in a place where gambling is not considered as something bad then I think it wont affect your reputation as well as your career.
However if you live in a place where gambling is considered as a crime like in my country, for sure it will affect reputation as well as career.
To be frank, I dont really care about what is said by others because they know that I'm a gambler and I think that I do not need to explain it to them.
As long as I know what I'm doing, I'm responsible to what I'm doing, I'll just ignore what people say about me.

Discrimination will always be around us regardless of our profession so yes, it might ruin my reputation because people will always say things against someone without even knowing the whole story. As for me, as long as I'm living a life without harming anyone, I don't think I should mind those who will look down on me when they discover that I'm into gambling. As long as we're responsible gamblers, we shouldn't get affected by society. If we have a good title and profession, it doesn't mean that we are not allowed to enjoy the things that we want to do.

100% true! By and large, no one cares at all - it only matters how you are able to do your job. If you do it well, then you are appreciated and you have a good reputation, if you do it badly, then you have a bad reputation. And it doesn't matter whether you like gambling or not, whether you believe in fictional creatures (religion) or not, etc.
Recently, various activists have been trying to mix personal life and professional aspects, but in adequate communities the situation remains the same.

As times are changing, people are also changing their perspectives in life.
However, much better if you keep it to yourself if you are a regular gambler.
If you are a professional, some people are looking up to you and they may see it as negative especially if they don't know why you are into gambling.

I believe it is fine but in my opinion, it is still in your best interest to keep your gambling activities private even if it doesn't affect your real job.

Well, if you think like that, then in general it is best to keep your life private in all aspects. People have prejudices not only towards gambling, but also towards sexual orientations, religion and other things. It is in the interests of professionals to be "known" to clients only in a professional sense, since knowing any other information about you, they can give vent to his prejudices/complexes.

Being a citizen of a country where gambling is legal I don't think it would be defamatory at this point. Because gambling is now not only thought of for money income. It now occupies a large place in entertainment. Moreover, gambling can be done successfully. Even in places where gambling is restricted or where there is a risk of loss of respect because online casinos and sports betting are now everywhere. In today's technology advancements online gambling can be done safely at home where all your information is safe.

If you are a teacher, I think yes it will harm your reputation but only if your students caught you in the act that you are playing a gambling inside the school during working hours. They have the rights to report you to the school principal because you are not doing your duties well.

While if you are a lawyer I think you will have more time for your self and lawyers rarely bond with their clients so it's going to be rare if your clients will catch you playing a gambling but in case they do, what will they do? Nothing. They cant report you because they are the ones that seeks for your service. So I think it will solely depend on the person's profession.

I knew gambling is not bad at all because I’m a gambler too but the culture in my country makes gambling looks bad so I hide it as much as possible so that I will not be judged.

It could harm my reputation if the people around me found out that I like to gamble because they would not give me a chance on why I like gambling, even though I explained that I like to gamble for entertainment. They will surely say that there are many other ways to get entertainment and why did I choose to gamble? That's why I don't want my gambling activities to be known by others and I tend to play gambling when I'm alone and of course, I always apply the rules for myself so I don't experience big losses.

I am sure about how strict the rules are now when it comes to professors and teachers about their gambling habits. Sure, there will be bad gossip from your co-teachers and a chance to spread to your students too but I won't care too much.
But there could be a backfire once your students know it by using the habit against you when you make a mistake.
Then, it could become a wildfire, and the gossip about being just a casual gambler becomes an addicted gambler even though it's not true.
So better, just stay away from local casinos where you are visible and use private rooms with friends.

AFAIK there is also a disciplinary action for misconduct like having a relationship with a student, there had been many incidents like this.
If gambling is considered a misconduct then its an offense that will affect reputation too.

For what I know, lawyers have specific offenses like leaking confidential information of clients or something like that. A distant cousin who is a lawyer from a government is now allowed to have a Facebook account. So his was deactivated.

I tried searching about lawyers misconduct and professional ethics , it includes gambling in public. One that I can quote is

Quote

Without accounting safeguards in place, an impaired lawyer who needs funds to feed a
gambling, alcohol, or other addiction may succumb to the temptation to misappropriate client
funds or property at the end of an engagement without the client realizing it. Where the client
made an advanced payment of fees or costs, or where funds belonging to the client otherwise
remain in a law firm account at the end of an engagement, there must be procedures in place to
protect against misappropriation.

I don't understand why gambling should be view as illegal thing or taboo? especially if you live in a country where gambling is completely legal.

If you live in a country where gambling is illegal, then it's make sense many people will think you're a bad person. I think if people around you discover you're a gambler, you can give an excuse like it's just a gambling ads and you didn't play gambling. You would have a problem if you're a gambler because any person can make a report since you're breaking a law of your country.

If I am a good teacher to my students and a good faculty to my co-teachers then I there is nothing to worry. I am not a compulsive gambler, so what is wrong with it? I won't be the first one to approach my co-workers because it only shows I am guilty and defensive. I would tell my class the truth in case they think bad on me. And I would also tell my co-workers if they will ask me about it. Just make it simple and honest. There is no big deal here.

If you are a teacher in a respected university, there is no crime or I'll feeling, but a teacher of pupils or students below 18 years is not supposed to gamble to the extent that people will understand. I gamble but if I want to keep it as a secrete for 50yrs, I will and no friends, family or neighbours will understand. It is means my phone, I'll not even use the system. No one will understand what is going on, it is the traditional gambling that people will go to the gambling station physical and thru will be known as gamblers. The internet has solved so many problems for us.

I don’t think their is any way you can explain to people that you are a responsible gambler, most of them won’t want to listen to you, and I don’t think you should start telling everybody your story that you are a responsible gambler, the best thing you can do is just to leave them Anything anybody says about you, just over look it and move one, nobody is a saint in this life. In my country if people notice that you are a gambler they believe you are no more responsible, which is very wrong, I don’t see anything wrong in gambling, the only thing I can say is bad is been addicted to gambling, but if you are not addicted then I don’t see anything wrong in gambling but people won’t want to listen.

The best thing that you can do to let them know and believe that you are a responsible gambler is by practicing it instead of saying it or rubbing it to their face. No one will really believe if you'll just say it. You should prove it to them by actions and not by words. Although it's not really your responsibility to prove yourself and on how responsible you are. But if you want to, through actions would be better because they can see the benefits of gambling and would not just focus on its repercussions.

There is really a stigma in gambling. Once people knew that you are a gambler, they will view you in another perspective such as being irresponsible, addict, or even a lazy fella. We can't really blame them because that's how the reputation of gambling in the mainstream media is. Since most people don't understand the need of other people to gamble, they just view them as lazy individuals and irresponsible ones because instead of focusing on what they deem important, they focus more in gambling. Some can't grasp the idea that we have different priorities which make them easily conclude such.
