There are cases where I could easily discuss my losses with friends and colleagues who are also gamblers like me.
The reason is not because I'm proud of losing those dollars to gambling, but the reason is that I will also want to hear their story and if there are ways in which we can help each other to reduce how much we can lose and maintain a particular standard.
Sharing our experience with friends that are into gambling can help them too and also you to get experience from them. Some people think that they're the only ones losing when it comes to gambling but having to hear your own story can help them to not give up on gambling and keep trying. You won't know what your story can do to others but the only thing is that as you're sharing, you don't have to give out all details. Some information are best you reserved them and only share the less sensitive one.
Example, if you win $10k from gambling, you don't have to share them to everyone but your loses can be shared as they too can have something to tell you that if you listen, it can help reduces the way you're losing and also help you if it's because of addiction that you're losing that much
