Did gambling affected your personal reputation?

[FlightyPouch]

It only becomes bad in image if gambling doesn't give you benefit and it only takes away you a lot of things which makes your life miserable. And in my case, it's not happening so I'm still good and my reputation in my neighborhood doesn't really affect and coming up to that point.
And why it matters if we gamble to our neighborhood? do they give the money that we will spend in gambling? are we ruining their lives as we gamble, no we don't and they don't.

@passwordnow yeah right, sometimes it'll spread on the community that you spent all of your money just for gambling and it will ruin your reputation.

And that's the start why people think that you do no good with your life because you have been spending it over and over again in gambling.
The reputation in your neighborhood will start to crumple and their look at you will become different after knowing that you've been into gambling.

That is so true. In my case, my co-teacher thought that I am gambling and ashamed me in front of my students. It is hard to deal with that since you already built your reputation for a long time but it will be taken down just by a single misunderstanding.

Ohh my God, I completely forgot about this thread and it got bumped recently and discussion gets going.

Most people say that they didn't have any effect on their reputation due to gambling but most likely because they never have shown this to the public so then only they can realize when someone gets to know about their habit.

Thinking about locking this thread? Or need more discussion?

[White Christmas]

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.

It really affects the person's image especially when you are a gambler because we all know that gambling is a kind of vice in which if other people we've known it especially your loved ones then probably the image that you have will suddenly have a bad image because the people will just say that you are a bad person because you are playing or gambling in which it is really a negative side, but we are just doing it in order to earn money and to have fun so we don't care about those people who are seeing us a bad person.

If you show it to a group of normal people then they might have nothing to say into you, come on! We are now in a more liberated civilization so everybody can understand that. However, if you are a gambler (got and addiction in worst case) and present yourself in a group of religious people then you should get ready to be criticized, even not by the mouth but at least by the mind which can be manifested in their eyes.

In my experience, I can say that my reputation remain intact despite of being a gambler but sometimes my girlfriend became mad at me every single time I gamble or even only telling something about it, is that counted? Lol .

Sure, the choice is yours .

Some people say that it really doesn't have any effect on their image because they are not exposing it into the public, but once they have brrn exposed it into the public or someone that they know see thst they are gambling or playing and the news become trend with the other people then that's the time that it will be have a negative image on you it is just a matter of fact that the people doesn't know that the person is playing or gambling so that their image are still remain but us like what i have been said when they expose it to the many people does the time but his or her own image will become negative.

You've had a lot of discussion here. There were a lot of good opinions, but there was also a lot of spam.
I still continue to be confident that in most countries of the world, gambling is not condemned by society. The main thing in this is to be able to comply with the framework and not abuse gambling and be able to spend only small amounts that were originally planned.

Wow, so you are a teacher, that's nice to hear. Have you talked to your co-teacher and told him/her that just because you also gamble it doesn't mean that you are an addicted person and it's not harming you so you are all good.
You don't even harm them, this problem I guess is everywhere and we're all affected by these people that doesn't know the whole story.

Yeah, this problem is already done since we talked to each other, we are all good now. That is the case though, I did not harm them but the perception of gamblers in our community is a bit of a rash one. That you are irresponsible, that you should not be a teacher if you are a gambler, that kind of perspective. I don't mind how other teachers look at me, my problem there is how would I talk that to my students since that would affect how they respect me as a teacher. There are those changes but after some time, well, time really heals, it went back to normal but me related to gambling will still be there. I even heard last week some students from the other class talk about me and they sing this song "Manok na Pula", well, if you are a Filipino, you know what this means.

I guess it's a taboo everywhere about gamblers. They aren't used to see a teacher that's also gambling that's probably the reason why unwanted words were thrown to you.
Well, what's important now is both of you are okay and the beef has been settled.

Yeah, we are all good but still, that will go down forever. Some students still see me as a gambler but they are treating me "cool" some of them also gamble, I taught them some skills but don't take the wrong idea. I am not encouraging them to gamble it is just that when we talk about it, I usually tell a story that they could learn. Another problem comes with the parents since people in our country are so fond of gossips and it can really affect your personal reputation since they will spread this gossip that is so far from the truth that I am even surprised by it.

I think gambling affects the reputation of a person because most of the time when we are going into a gambling casino we will meet a person that is really good in a specific game or in the whole casino games and they won a lot of money and as a person, you can make a conclusion that he/she is a good gambler. Also, you can get a lot of reputation and respect because other people meet good at earning. Also, they are the same as us but they make a lot of studies, research and gained a lot of experience from different games. It is good too if we are trying to share our knowledge too with other people so they can earn a lot of profit to gambling.

[doctor877]

It depends on the kind of cycle you keep and how you potray it to people. There are alot of reputable gamblers that people don't really know they gamble. But gone are the days when people use to condemn gambling , it's all about making money now so you make it any way that is convenient for you as long as you don't Rob or steal it.

[Rengga Jati]

How do you know about this? Do you know them in real-life or just got the information from any sources? If you got the information from an article or a video, you are better to enclose it here. So, people can trust on what you state above! 

it's all about making money now so you make it any way that is convenient for you as long as you don't Rob or steal it.

Indeed. Gamblers aren't thieves or robbers. Commonly, the gambler status isn't a bad thing that people must avoid. But the reputation can be worse if someone becomes an addicted gambler that harms everything to stay on it.

In my case, no. The teacher saw me on my android phone in a gambling site. She(my co-teacher) did not know me whether I am a good gambler or not but still, that affected my reputation. Earning and wealth out of gambling might earn reputation but that is just because you are already a successful one if they see you still the same as you are as a gambler, that will not change anything.

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.

Maybe it can affect our image but who cares as long as I am using my own money then why not.  I am playing just for fun and to be stress free so I dont care what other people say. There are always people who will judge us so we better continue what we are doing as long as we are not hurting them.

[qomariah95]

Basically we play gambling because of our own will. Other people can only judge and judge, I feel the negative effects that I receive when playing gambling. People say to me, that gambling is a bad thing. But I have never cared about that, I do gambling not harming anyone here and thank you for the people who have advised me. But I have my own principles in playing gambling. So the important thing is, don't pay attention to what other people say.

If you don't care about what people think about you is another matter from your personal reputation because we are talking about what others think about you and gambling affected it or not.Open-minded people not judge people for every action but we are not living in such a society so we always have to keep our name clear from any bad things or it might get bad impression even for generations.

[kawetsriyanto]

People say to me, that gambling is a bad thing. But I have never cared about that,

It is no problem if you think what people say is unnecessary. As long as you don't use loan/debt money, then it means you don't need other help. However, sometimes you can consider what people's advice. You know that in addiction cases, most gamblers don't realize that they are addicted to gambling. They need others to remind them.

the important thing is, don't pay attention to what other people say.

Is it also applied for your closest people such as family? I know that some people have their own principle and don't really care for others. However, you are better to make an exception for certain things. Example: for family or closest friends.

They still do condemn it. It depends on the group of people you're dealing with but to many people a gambler is a weak addict and to another group he's a lazy bastard who doesn't want to work but instead relies on making money from the misfortune of others.

The world is not a nice place where people try to understand and respect one another.

[HatakeKakashi]

They have people once the society knows that they are playing gambling they judge them,  they have streotype if we say gambling that once you play gambling you are addict and your life will be destroy. Im happy that we have online gambling because no one knows that you play beacuse it is anonymous than the traditional gambling that many people see you once you play there.
