Do you feel shameful for being a gambler?

[Caladonian]

Of course
especially if my parents know, then it will be a very shamefull thing for the family. because in certain countries, regions or cultures, that gambling is a bad thing and should be abandoned.

religion and being conservatives are the reason behind those countries which still not accepting gambling as a  game to have some fun they look at it
as a bad habits which surpassing their beliefs i think personally even gambling already been a practice from where i am but still its a discreet in my part to play and I'm enjoying using bitcoin.

Gambling refers to an entertainment activity, even if it affects a bad trait, it's a personal matter. And me, didn't feel shameful being a gambler. I am never use other people's money, also money I use isn't result of criminal act. I'm just enjoyed being a gambler. all my friends know.

I know as long as we don't commit crime and not the money of others we are not ashamed to be a gambler. but everyone is not the same from some crime cases also exist that is because do not have any money to gamble then they choose to steal. I'm not ashamed to be a gambler because I'm also not doing evil things but I would feel bad if other people know that I'm gambling.

Wait, what? You're not ashamed as a gambler but you feel bad if people know you're gambling? Of course you would not be ashamed to be a gambler if nobody knew you were gambling. There's no reason to be embarrassed if nobody knows. I do not really understand the "feel bad" if anyone knows you're gambling.

That's really weird just by saying that, it confused me also. It might be because someone could be judging you just by what you have done and nobody wants to feel embarrassed with that. It's not that it's bad to gamble, it's how you deal with gambling and admitting to yourself that you may get addicted to it. Be concerned about what you're currently doing and see that people can help.

Gambling isnt really a bad thing as long you do know how to control yourself but playing for many hours on a single day will really mold you up later on to be a gambling addict which would cause for you to done unexpected things.Shameful thing would be  considered if you are already being broke by too much addiction into gambling.

I understand those type of culture in such countries that sees gambling as something illegal or against to their laws. And if I were you, I'll follow your rules and laws so that you can be safe from any sanctions that is possible to happen when your parents found it out. I guess your hands are always itchy just to gamble on a single dice game.

Countries like that are probably just protecting their own citizens and they don't want people to start something illegal just because they lost everything in gambling. That's just not ideal, at all. Anyways, it still depends on the person themselves on who or what they are capable on doing when they get into a uneasy or difficult decision.

[Raja_Salman]

Actually embarrassed because our work can be considered junk or not in value because in some countries gambling is a game that is prohibited. but there are still many people who are proud to show off their gambling results

[miningguru]

See I am a gambler but I am not feeling any shy while gambling because it is another type income, will be decided with in minutes.
But we may lose money in a fraction of a second but at the same time, we may win gambling and it is completely based on luck.

[conected]

Whenever someone ask me what do you do, I will never answer it with 'I am a gambler' because it won't make me proud and can give me some problem. I will for sure hide it as long as I can. That means I will be very ashamed if someone else knowing my gambling habit even though I never use other's money or commit crime to fulfill it.

- I also think like you, we should not tell anyone we are a gambler, that only leads us to unnecessary trouble, we also can not be proud because in the social aspect, people always think that is wrong. However, I think you also do not need to be ashamed because we do not really hurt anyone, we simply use our money to buy fun and enjoy gambling, we should not care about the thoughts of others, everyone has different thoughts and ideals of life, we live for us, we do not live for them

[Stedsm]

Hey OP, it's not compulsory that only poor people gamble. Who says rich doesn't?
Gambling is a way to pleasure ourselves just like we have different pleasures available to satisfy our needs and mind. Being ashamed or not is one thing but if someone wants to gamble or not, it is completely their choice so what is the reason to feel shameful for gambling? It's their choice to do it or not and even if they do it, they satisfy their own conscience by conducting such activities in their life.

Some people are ashamed of what they do but they keep on doing it which is incredibly lame. Some people feel ashamed because they lose and when they win they dont feel like that. Some people think that they are doing some nasty stuff because they lose money that they could have use some other place with better purposes

in fact a lot of reasons are therefore for being shameful or feeling shame. for some people as gambling is not legal in their religion and even in their area therefore they feel shameful while playing gambling. while some people exceed their limit of playing gambling and therefore they lose a lot of money which is also responsible. in such situation your emotional control is also important.

and that's stupidity you are just ashamed when you lose but so happy every time you win, I agree that those who feel this way are just making excuses
can't accept the fact of risking their money so when they been asked about their activity they always tend to deny because they are ashamed about it.

Protecting somehow is their concern but it's all about religion, I'm seeing those countries that are not allowing a gambling industry into their country because of their belief and the concern to protect their people from addiction is just second. They have a very tight and responsive government for this matter and if they found you doing something just to access aa online casino, you'll be sorry for what you've done.

From the past until now, there are more people who are rich become poor because of gambling, poor people getting poorer for gambling than rich people who get richer because gambling and the poor become rich because of gambling. Gambling is a very risky game, risky to be miserable, risky to change morals, I mean because of Gambling, many people are willing to commit criminals in order to gamble. I know not everyone is like that, but the number of such gamblers is too much.

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!

Hi, I want provide my opinion because I am a good tipster ( ) and I have won some DirectBet Tipster championship, right now 2° place in hall of fame.

Yes, be a gambler is not easy. Because there are a lot of people (around 95%) that can harvest from betting only:
-debts
-more problems
-other addictions
...so on...

Many gamblers want hide their addiction to bet, because they can't get anything good, they loss more money of what they win... of course is shaming if you waste your money without understand why (and just playing).

Do you feel shameful or proud for being a gambler?

Personally after the closing of DirectBet I am not using placing a bet from several months. Literally no one. Probably I guess is related to my point of view on bets, more similar to a trader, and not to a gambler.

Do you consider gambling as a bad thing?

Yes I consider gambling a bad thing. Because if you don't have a smart approach, you are like trying to approach some vicious risky "drugs" with high risk to get addicted and lose a lot of money!

If it is shame what you feel what do you about it?

I am feeling good because I don't have any desire to play. Literally 0 interest. In fact after DB Closing I haven't place a bet

How do you hide you're a gambler and who do you hide it from?

In my country betting up to a certain limit is socially accepted.
So normally I don't need to hide as gambler (but I need to hide what I am playing and my stakes that are normally really higher than others players).

[noormcs5]

well, in my country, gambling is an illegal game. and playing it in a public place would be very embarrassing, because you could be caught by the police. but, I do not know, sometimes I think gambling is cool. but to be a gambling player, of course I am ashamed.

Basically you are living in that country where gambling is illegal that's why you feel ashamed on it, It is main point why we feel ashame to being a gamble. For example if gambling is legalese in every country then people do it and play it as a profession. But it is not that's why gambling is highlighted and also illegal wise mostly parents are not allow to their children to play it. Otherwise i also with you, gambling is for me a cool place.

[oHnK]

can't accept the fact of risking their money so when they been asked about their activity they always tend to deny because they are ashamed about it.

I was once like that as well and I always feel bad about myself however It was long gone. As long as we set our mind straight to only play for fun then I guess this kind of thing wont matter at all. The only reason why it matter to us is because we feel responsible when we lose a high amount especially with money that we shouldnt use

Nothing to worry about being revealed to other people because it's not wrong as long as you play responsible and the money involved with it is coming from your present job like from bitcoin income. The same here in my country gambling was so rampant to the society and people were always seeking lucky betting opportunities and one example of that is lottery swertres bets with a three combination numbers. They'd gamble even though the possibility wasn't that certain at least they enjoyed the nature of the nation wide gambling game.

Being a gambler they some possibility that they have time we are shy because to the eye of other person's gambler's is just like addict. Other person's compare the gamblers to drug addict because gambler is only focusing gamble and the time for family is limited compare to the time in gambling that why other people angry to the gamblers and also if you are gambler you can do everything even the things is hard to achieve you make a way for it. When gambler he/she realize how gambling affect her life and there some possibility that gambler is to become shameful. Sometimes gambler is doing wrong to fulfill her needs in gambling thats why gambler is shameful.

Actually embarrassed because our work can be considered junk or not in value because in some countries gambling is a game that is prohibited. but there are still many people who are proud to show off their gambling results

it is just the matter of how your actual environment works .

when you live in a place where gambling are something usual then why you should be shame? people talking about betting here and there freely , joking about that etc. op just have a bad place to gamble openly. move from that place if you feel not comfortable , pretty simple.

it has always been like that in what environment the person grew up in and that has become great factor in his or her attitude and characteristics. Probably people become ashamed because they can't control themselves in gambling or probably they just don't want relatives knowing that they are gambling.
