If it was me well I will ignore them but if I noticed that would have effect on my work then I have to defend myself, as we all know gambling is normal activity or less it's prohibited in the school authority so if not prohibited I will ignore but and if prohibited then I will have to defend myself and that wasn't took place in the school environ so not much laws hold me or affects me.
Matter of facts I can say those that are called professional gambles very well reason because since they are professional they always thought of becoming charmpion in everything they venture into.

We are in 21st-century bro, no one cares about you as long as you do your work right and don't allow four gambling activities to affect your job. I don't think there is any we're in your terms and conditions in your employment letter where it is stated that you can not partake in such activities and if that be the case you will have to face a panel if you are discovered to be a gambler.

It might be an issue for professionals in countries where gambling is illegal, due to the local culture, traditions and common sense, but I don't see it as being a problem in countries where gambling is allowed. Imagine a country like United States where they have Las vegas as a very common touristic city and gambling hub. Many people visit their casinos, including members of judiciary, professors and even religious authorities. And that is seen as a common thing there without further prejudice for those professionals' careers and reputation.

You will gamble in a way it is not related to your work professional. Do not gamble with the computer in your work place and you will be fine. No one will know many things about you, not to talk of knowing about if you are gambling as long as you are doing it on your phone and personal computer only.

It depends on the location if gambling is illegal in that country it could ruin your reputation but if it's legal I don't see anything wrong with it, in fact, I have a neighbor who is a high school teacher and he bets daily on lotto and his students sees him while he is betting and it's pretty normal here, there's lottery station in almost every corner of our city and the draw is being held on national TV, I guess if depends on the location and gambling form, if its casino then it's different.

I will ignore them. i don't care anything if someone think about me. i follow a words my life my rules.  If someone makes bad comments about me, I will not argue with them.  Because I am not interested in wasting my precious time arguing with anyone. Because I value every second of my life

I got used to this and chose to ignore it. To be honest a lot of people around me think that all the money I make online is from gambling (including trading). As long as the accusations are just assumptions, I'll be fine even if it's annoying at first. In fact, some non-gambling income can be emphasized as a defense reasons if one day it becomes a more serious matter.

It depends on the company and school bylaws. If you are not breaking your own bylaws then it’s alright as long you are not compulsive. Most of the prominent person on different field are doing gambling to release stress from there work. Gambling is not wrong or bad if you do it moderately and responsively.

The only thing that makes gambling reputation bad was because many people got addicted on it and destroy there life just because they are greedy to earn big amount in quick way.

[YOSHIE]

how will you explain this to people around you or will you explain to protect your reputation or just ignore them.

I have an understanding of the reputation of gambling, towards ourselves, I believe that the world of gambling has mushroomed and entered all corners of the world, gambling is no longer foreign to today's generation, the online world that is talking today.

I gamble, which needs to be hidden from family, the rest don't, many young people are thirsty to gamble at this time, maybe I don't need to hide from them anymore, because they also do the same thing involved in gambling.

Gambling now there are still some countries that prohibit and also legalize it but it depends on the region where we are from, but my view is from any country legal against gambling but to maintain a reputation I will ignore it and I will not play in public places for me it is not necessary and it is better to hide or play when you are at home it will be much safer than playing around many know of course at least your reputation will be slightly damaged because everyone always has a different view of gambling.

[Wexnident]

Yes. No matter what, the norms of society have basically labeled gambling as a negative kind of thing that most people would be set back upon knowing that you actually do indeed gamble. Sure, some people might ignore or don't mind it but the pretty sure the majority still view it negatively. I see no need to rectify it, it is for a fact that you gamble after all and as long as you gamble within your own limits without damaging anyone then I don't think you need to mind what others think.  

If it damages your reputation pretty sure it should only last a short while as long as no one is purposely spreading negative rep about you. You can always clarify it anyway if someone approaches you about it.

There are famous basketball player and other golfers who had dip into gambling addiction but that doesn't really ruined their reputation. It should be the same thing with lawyers if his gambling activity doesn't obstruct his profession, it should just be fine.

But he will be judged by the people around him. Its why some are keen to hide it. They travel far to other casino or to Macau for it.

it is best to just ignore. People who are civilized in thinking will know that having a professional career does not make me any less human, and doesn't exclude me from having habits. For those who go ahead to judge and stereotype, it's their choice because it is an indication that they are immature and not yet civilized thinkers. But as a tip, act as a professional and don't be too fast to show/tell everyone that you gamble.

Even if I'm an compulsive gambler, it won't hurt my reputation. After all, when we talk about the reputation of a lawyer or a teacher, we mean professional qualities, right? If a person is good in one area of professional activity, but has problems in a completely different area, this should not concern us. Of course, if these areas of activity do not intersect, since a psychologist who has a gambling (or other) addiction, of course, will be under suspicion of incompetence.

Its ok to be a gambler for those who are consistently profitable. Or for social gamblers who enjoy it recreationally without wagering or losing significant amounts of wealth.

Gambling is mainly shameful for those who bet and lose more than they can afford, consistently.

The personality type most likely to become addicted to gambling. Probably isn't the most successful in life anyway. No matter what their circumstances are. They don't necessarily need gambling for their reputation to suffer.

Basketball players, golfers and other players are not the same as teachers, the field are very different. What if teachers to be gambling is against the law of the school? But if not, you are not also wrong, anyone can decide to gamble or not as long that gambling is not illegal in that country. What should make someone not to gamble is if gambling is not legal in the country or if the organization you are working for against it. But to be sincere, I have not seen any company before that has it in law or rule that their worker should not gamble, that should remain to individual's personality.

100% true! By and large, no one cares at all - it only matters how you are able to do your job. If you do it well, then you are appreciated and you have a good reputation, if you do it badly, then you have a bad reputation. And it doesn't matter whether you like gambling or not, whether you believe in fictional creatures (religion) or not, etc.
Recently, various activists have been trying to mix personal life and professional aspects, but in adequate communities the situation remains the same.

It actually depends on character of the person and where he lives, but the majority of them will cover up any activity including gambling for their reputation. I have acquaintances with some people teachers profession, some of whom teach from elementary school level to advanced level, in fact all of these people have a dark side, gambling etc. But they can manage lives in order to maintain a reputation, even they are very good at camouflaging. For those who work as lawyers, to be honest I haven't found the dark side, maybe they are also good at camouflaging. Most importantly they can work with professional !

As times are changing, people are also changing their perspectives in life.
However, much better if you keep it to yourself if you are a regular gambler.
If you are a professional, some people are looking up to you and they may see it as negative especially if they don't know why you are into gambling.
But if you are just betting in few occasions only like if you bet if your favorite boxer has his fight or your football team is in the arena.
I believe it is fine but in my opinion, it is still in your best interest to keep your gambling activities private even if it doesn't affect your real job.
