I don't have special job, I gamble and most of the people that knows me know that I play poker and other gambling games. I don't hide my wins and loses, I talk openly about gambling, what that means to me and why I gamble! Others can accept that or not, but I don't care about that!
Wherever you live, and whatever laws in your country, you are always better to keep quiet about your passion for gambling! People are absolutely everywhere bad attitude towards gamblers!
It is better to control your passion.
It is okay if you have some routines such as liking to gamble - it is in our nature to have things that we like to spend time and and some not. If you have control on it then there is not any way to be afraid from laws or your attitude to others.
