Everyone stating that gambling will affect someone's image in the society so this is actually happened with you?

For me it happened once why are you gambling its a sin in our life I replied its my wish I can do what ever I wanted.

In my personal life, Very influential views of the community or people around when I play gambling. If you think logically, there is nothing I want to do. But this is a bad thing when people know I am gambling. That's why I don't want many people to know about my gambling activities. Let me personally live this.

You can always be anonymous when playing it online so why the bother? But if you are referring to society you can surely never escape from the cold look of some people, like in the old saying you surely can not please all people, And even if there are people that are very judgemental when it comes to gambling there are people that really don't mind if you are into it, And I guess gambling is now very common in the society nowadays and particularly there are many establishments now that would surely let you bet, And I think that gamblers are now well received and that is why there are certain people that portray themselves as professionals in this industry.

Gambling as a side activity is okayish as long as you also wanna work hard to earn. Else it will lead to depression. There are gamblers who are "gamblers" and are nothing. They just carry only that single identity. Then that becomes a problem. As long as you have self control and track what you are doing, nothing can harm you well, even watching po*n is sin, how many people follow it? No saying to sin but you know what I mean

That's normal - either they care for you or look at you as not the type of person should be accompanied with. As for me, why should I care for others view if I know to myself that I'm a responsible gambler? My money came from my own pocket, came from my own work so I will do whatever I like as long as it won't affect the allocation for my personal spendings.

It really happens. So up to us if we will be affected to that or not. We know ourselves more than them.

I voted for no because I keep my gambling habits to myself only my wife has a idea but no solid proof
People think that if I gamble on a game that I have a disease so I like to keep my personal vices to myself.
I would like to consider my gambling to that of a drug addict who doesnt tell anyone so he can continue to get his fix  even if I only wager small amounts

[Coyster]

Gambling can only affect your personal life if you let it do, gambling is really addictive and it can lead one to do foolish things like selling personal properties and getting involved in debts in order to use such money to place bets.

If one gambles responsibly and uses a minimal amount of money to bet, keeping his personal life away from it as well as not incurring any debts, then there is no way it can affect such persons personal life nor destroy his reputation.
We need a level of control with this things or else we'll be doing ourselves more harm than good.

I've seen two possible outcomes from gambling;

1. Successful gamblers that have managed to turn an impressive profit are often regarded with praise, since they have successfully turned the odds to their favor and made off with a good amount of money.
2. Problem gamblers, who are unable to control their gambling and threaten the safety of their family for the thrill of gambling are typically treated with disdain. If you can't control yourself, you have no business playing a game of self control.

Personally, I have been praised for my success as a poker player. However, I know this would be quite the opposite if I wasn't as successful as I have been.

[LUCKMCFLY]

At first when I first met the game, it was in a casino in my city, which was something spectacular, and as expected it was followed, had gains and losses, only at a time if it affected a large loss that I had , although I didn't stop thinking about it and why I failed.

On one occasion I went with friends, and I saw that they had my same economic situation, and they lost much more than me, but I saw them happy, it did not affect them, it was incredible, I asked them why it does not affect you? You know that that will take away certain things that you can acquire right now, they told me almost unanimously, that they enjoyed it, money is sought, worked, found, we may lose, but in no time we will recover the lost and we will be positive, meanwhile we enjoy it, learn and try the best strategies.

I understood that somehow they are right, everything is an apprenticeship, although I still think, I would not be able to bet as much as they do today.

Some people will feel Basic Gambling is bad (in the sense of view).

Because, in my country if there is someone playing gambling. That means the person is bad, unemployed, there is no work without thinking about the results obtained in playing gambling.

So no wonder, if people play gambling without having to tell anyone. Because negative impacts will arise on the person.

I am not saying about the gambling losses or profits,it depends on the users who gambling.But when we saying we are gambling how it affects us in your society.

For me it happened once why are you gambling its a sin in our life I replied its my wish I can do what ever I wanted.

I have not long plunged into betting and neighbors around me did not know that I tried betting, because I and my husband very keep it a secret from family and neighbors.

I totally agree with you that everything we personally do is our right, as long as it does not harm others and violates the law, then we have the right to do whatever we want.

So it means it does affect your personal life that is why you keep it as secret.But when you like that thing to be done why afraid of others?

Everything that we are doing will surely affect our reputation or image in society. As for gambling, there are different beliefs about it, for some it's okay, but for others, it's not. If you are a gambler, you shouldn't bother yourself with the opinion of others. As long as you know that you are not violating laws or doing anything bad that may hurt or cause a negative effect on the people around you, especially those who are close to you.

Gambling is a personal decision. You are using your own money. You have a control on what to do with it. If you are using someone else money or if gambling becomes your addiction, then don't be surprised by the negative comments you might hear. But if you are sure to yourself that you are handling your finances well, then I think there's nothing wrong about it.

Personally, I don't always involve myself in gambling. It's not because I see it as a sinful activity, but it's just my choice. Like what you have written, we can do whatever we have wanted.

[acroman08]

in my family and friends? No, but there are some people(neighbor, church people,) who judge me for gambling but I could careless what they think of me
as long as my relationship with the people I care about is fine I will continue to gamble but the moment gambling start affecting it
I will stop immediately. stopping will not be that easy since gambling is like a daily routine for me but I won't risk my reputation just
for gambling.

[Oceat]

OP if you change your point of view you might consider gambling as a fun game while not thinking too much of how the society will gonna judge you. And also, online gambling will not affect your image if you are inside of your house playing it alone. Local gambling may affect your life while you are protecting your reputation and i know a lot of people but guess what, they didn't bother anyway as long as they enjoy what they were doing.

I do the things what I love to do no matter if it is gambling or flirting ut the subject of this thread which affected your personal reputation at some point of your life but no matter did you cared about it or not.

[leowonderful]

Nope. I generally don't tell people I gamble, and some of my friends don't like the fact that I gamble, but for the most part gambling hasn't changed my reputation much at all. I do know irresponsible gamblers who have had their reputations changed due to gambling more money than they can afford to lose, though. My parents likely care the most that I gamble, though they also know I'm mostly a responsible person and they don't worry too much about it as a result.

Yes, that happened to me once in the past. But at that time I was still young and didn't really care about other people's views. Btw, since I was growing up, I realized that people's views of us are important. I no longer expose my gambling activities so that no one else will know. I keep my habit a secret.

No. Whether you are in gambling or not, "society" will always have an opinion of you. Now, that is up to you if you let their opinions affect you. Don't mind about your public image unless you are some traditional politician.
