Do you feel shameful for being a gambler?

[abel1337]

If you feel shameful, it means you did something wrong in the gambling site that are very embarrassing on which you don't like to know by your friends, relatives and special someone. So you keep hiding it to them
but if don't do anything bad, nothing to be ashamed with them.

You can be shameful depending on your situation . For example you live in macau and everybody their loves playing gambling. No one is ashamed that they are gamblers , its just that it is depending on your situation.

Interesting.Never heard about that place either.
Being ashamed is situational.For me,being stupid is something to be ashamed about.Like winning 10 btc and losing 15 after the win is what makes you look stupid,now that is when you can be a gambler and ashamed at the same time.As an addiction,no,you shouldn't be.

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!

No I don’t feel any shame about my gambling, but I could understand why some persons may fell like that, if you are an addicted gambler you will try to hide your gambling habit to not let the persons close to you realize how much money you have lost due to gambling.

[tabas]

Nothing to be ashamed about as long as you understand the odds of the games and you gamble moderately. It is just for entertainment really.

There is something to be ashamed of, especially when you are gambling others people money and when gambling is already ruining your lives with your good relationship with your friends and relatives. But if you are not that type of gambler and you know how to handle responsibility then yes, there's nothing to be ashamed of.

in fact some addicted people become extremest in gambling, and they do not care for any relation, social values, he just know how find money for gambling. some time he even sell his one mobile set and some time even sell the jewelry of his wife, he even do not care for his children education and but after long time when he loses everything and when ever one start hatting him then he a little realize the realty and then regret but  the it became too late

It is true that there are people who are coming onto that point. And when those gamblers are doing those things, it is a shame for him because he is surely has a major problem when it comes to gambling. He can't quit gambling alone if he has that type of attitude and actually I did that before but I felt ashamed when people knows that I did sold some of my things for gambling.

At least for me I never came to the point that I have to sell something just to do gambling, I can say the addiction is already serious and when you are in that state, you can expect your life is starting to get ruin. It's your fault and not gambling. Gambling here for recreational activities to give us some thrill and enjoyment, if we will not accept it that way, it's either we will quit being a millionaire or lose everything.

Congratulations to you for not coming to that point. Thats the reality in gambling and you are right, people that are addicted on it should blame themselves for not being responsible on what they're doing, truly a big shame.

That can be shameful if you are not a responsible person and you are making gambling in your first list before your family and duties. And that is making gambling as a bad habit if that is bringing them a very bad result. I'm just hiding that I'm gambling because I wanted to hide it since my family already knew about it.

You have hit the right spot. Setting gambling as your first priorities than prioritizing first your family or your loves ones is a really shameful thing to be ashamed of, in short, being a irresponsible gambler with no self-discipline to himself is the worst. Setting aside the valuable things just for gambling is not acceptable. Doing this might possibly be the reason for you to be lose your family, your friends, and even your love ones, and just hiding it to your love ones already means that you are being ashamed of being a gambler.

Gambling could be part of our life as it gives us a little enjoyment but let us not make it our life. We should be alright even if we will not be able to play it for sometime, our family is very important, we work hard to give them a comfortable life and we are willing to sacrifice for their happiness.
Being selfish or greedy will lead to self destruction, we should not let we will be in that situation because of gambling addiction.

Selling stuff to fuel your habit is a sure sign that an addiction is deepening, and this is try not only in gambling addiction but also in drug addiction the next step after that is the persons starts to steal money and belongings from family and friends and finally from strangers.

I would be ashamed if I lose all my bankroll as well as savings through gambling but if I'm even or up because of gambling the why be ashamed? Be happy that you have earned some extra money because of your gambling.

Very positive approach!

yes many people when earn money feel happy and tell to their friends in that case they do not feel shameful but in the cases when a person lose their money especially their wealth in gambling then he do not tell about it to anyone and feel shameful when someone hear about that.

[aardvark15]

As long as I only gamble for entertainment, then I don't feel guilty for gambling. Just like when someone spends money to go to a movie or play a round of golf, they are spending money on something they enjoy. The same is true for gambling unless you let it become an addiction.

[t3ChNo]

If you have the means to gamble, why not? Just be responsible and know when to stop. Unfortunately for irresponsible gamblers, they tend to chase their losses and ends in losing more to a point they break their savings and sell their stuff for this habit. Gambling is another outlet for entertaining yourself.

Being a responsible gambler means a lot. Whenever we go to a gambling site, lets make sure that our responsibility in real life, to our family is already accomplished. Money matters and needs should be settled first so we won't be into trouble in case that we lose money. As much as possible, deposit only small amount, if you lose, leave, if you win, leave. That makes being a gambler not a shameful way of entertaining your self.

[Babayega31]

No I don't feel shamefull being gambler because I am not borrowing the money I used in playing with betting games, all the investments I am using is coming from my passive income which I earned from income coming from pc servicing and electronics repair servicing. I will be ashame if the money I am using is not mine and worst if that money is a stolen one, thats very shameful of course.

Its a very shameful thing that you will use others money or illegal money on playing gambling and we should only use our own money on playing it on legal way and we should always remember that we would just spend the amount that we could afford to lose.In your situation better to limit yourself on playing gambling if you don't like to waste the money came from hardwork.

[Cashew]

No, I do not feel shameful, I even at the inverse feel a bit proud of this, in the sense that I am quite talented and manage to get some little profits.

[Mr. Big]

No, I do not feel shameful, I even at the inverse feel a bit proud of this, in the sense that I am quite talented and manage to get some little profits.

During my gambling days, I also feel lucky, and most of the time I am winning, that is why I am not ashamed to tell it to my wife... But later on I lose one time and I realized that I shouldn't have proudly told it to my wife that I am winning in gambling, as she is always expecting a win from me since that time... Then I quit...

You feel proud and tell everything to your wife when you get luck, when you often win the game. It was very normal, because you definitely want to make your wife happy, and you know he would have been happy when you win. But when you lose a fortune, you were embarrassed, it was also normal. In essence, gambling can become a proud and embarrassing, depending on the situation.

To be safe and will make you proud about gambling is to play it for fun. What makes you proud is you will be able to enjoy the game and it will not gonna ruin your life. You should think that way as when you take bigger risk, two things will happen, you could make a fortune in gambling or you will have to suffer the unfortunate life which would normally like bankruptcy.

Whether I lose or win from my gambling actions, for sure I won't tell it to my wife. She will not proud even if I win a huge amount of money. I have to lie to her, everytime I give her some money beside my monthly salary. I told her that I got the extra money from trading and she trusts me and doesn't make any further question.
