Do you care about what people say about you gambling?

[Fatunad]

One thing to say with those people that are trying to distract us while we do our own thing, mind their own business.

I don't care a thing they say, am I gambling with their money? am I using their time? No, they don't and that's why I don't care about them and whatever they say upon looking at my activities whether on my laptop or smartphone.

We've got our own lives to deal with and it's too short to be thinking of the welfare of other's activities.

People love to talk about stuff that does not concerns them, just take a look at how people follow the news of their favorite celebrity with more fervor than most religious people I have ever known, so it is natural that whatever we do that is outside of what people consider normal will be subject to their scrutiny.

So having understood that, we need to take a decision about what to do, and personally I agree with your posture, since I do not really have the time or the energy to care about what every other person may think about what I do, so I just ignore them.

It's best to ignore them.

It is not going to bother them whether we gamble or not because that's nothing to them and they owe us nothing with whatever we're spending on it.

People nowadays like to meddle and know everything other people's do but they don't focus on their own welfare. But instead, they like to ask things that are quite funny even it's no longer their boundary.

Dont make yourself get stressed out just because you've been hearing out others comments and those bashes and those curses or whatsoever words that coming out from their mouths and just like on what you have
said that we dont owe them something or they arent the ones who are spending up the money on whatever the things that we've been dealing with not only on just on gambling but also in other aspects in life as well.
They dont have the rights on the things that we are really that doing and its true that it would really be better that we should really be focusing on what we do love to do and dont mind other peoples words.

Gamble for fun and dont make yourself that getting out of those limitations specially when it comes to money. Dont let other people laugh at you just because you have made yourself that getting wrecked because of gambling. This is why you should really be that responsible on the actions that you are making and wont really be tending to mess up your life just because on the things that you've been
excessively dealing with.

[Accardo]

I think it depends on the person themselves whether they will care or not about whatever is said by others regarding themselves being involved in gambling, if for example they are one of those people who are easily provoked or easily disturbed by anything, especially criticism from some people who come maybe yes, obviously they will feel disturbed and this is sometimes we are often advised to hide our gambling activities.

But in my opinion there is actually no need to care too much about what other people say regarding whatever you do, just let them comment on anything because anyway you gamble using your own money which means you don't harm anyone, but on the other hand I think you can only ignore some criticism that is not important or means useless, so in any case it is always recommended to look at or respond to everything rationally because only in this way can you distinguish whether other people's criticism is useful for your good or is something that is not important. 

Gambling is not wrong, that means it's useless to worry about what people say regarding my gambling habit. It's a matter of personal perspectives from non gamblers who see gambling as something wrong. However, when they tend to criticize a player it'll be right for the gambler to have a conversation with the critic to understand why he's still thinking of gamblers as irresponsible. Gone are the days when people reasoned of gamblers in such a manner. Hence, it's crucial that the critic learns something new after the conversation with the gambler.

Some of them also wants to become gamblers but are afraid of joining the niche. Due to negative things they've heard about gambling. Although, such thoughts doesn't help enough in stopping people from gambling. Nobody cares about those critics and their wrong perspectives. Once a gambler is not compulsive he's fine and is not meant to bother about what people would say about him. Sometimes close friends would be surprised to learn about our involvement in gambling yet it's not a big deal to bother or worry about. Addiction is the only thing a player should avoid not being a victim.

[Onyeeze]

For me it is very understanding that no gambling person that we have a good record to someone who is not a gambler that is why whenever you are gambling you should not let people that does not gamble to know that you are example of because when they notice that you are a gambler some of them may use it against you and also dislike you so I don't know for some patience but I've seen many people that dislike their friends because then see that the person is a gambler so for me gambling is not a bad thing but we should gamble with understanding knowing that it has effect and then when you basically know the effect of gambling you should do not be a victim of  it, so that is why we need to understand very well the functionality of gambling before we entered  into it

Many people have told themselves that they shouldn't listen to what other people tell them, they shouldn't listen to other people's criticisms because other people don't pay their bills. So you shouldn't criticize him. This thought even makes sense, but people also need to take into consideration that criticism means that the people who are criticizing you are paying attention to you, they are paying attention to the things you are doing. So you need to stop and think about why they are criticizing you and where your mistake is. sit down and criticize yourself and then analyze what you are doing with your life and whether you are really correct or not

for example, a person who keeps posting photos of himself playing in a casino every day and then people start commenting on his photos, criticizing that he should moderate his gambling because by continuing on this path he will destroy himself a lot and it could be that the The damage to his life is too great to the point where there is no longer any salvation. So this person who keeps posting photos of casinos every day should stop and sit down and think about why exactly people are criticizing him, is it really ok to keep playing every day?

So that person should go to his relatives and ask them questions about what they really think of his recent behavior, ask his relatives and friends to be honest in their answers and after also listening to criticism from his relatives and friends. stop playing for a while and then see what has really changed in his life and whether all other people will continue to criticize him or whether they will be praising him, by this I mean that we have to know how to listen to people who criticize and not act with anger and arrogance when they criticize us , because criticism often serves to improve ourselves

[Jaycoinz]

For me it is very understanding that no gambling person that we have a good record to someone who is not a gambler that is why whenever you are gambling you should not let people that does not gamble to know that you are example of because when they notice that you are a gambler some of them may use it against you and also dislike you so I don't know for some patience but I've seen many people that dislike their friends because then see that the person is a gambler so for me gambling is not a bad thing but we should gamble with understanding knowing that it has effect and then when you basically know the effect of gambling you should do not be a victim of  it, so that is why we need to understand very well the functionality of gambling before we entered  into it

I think that all depends on the type of gambling environment the person belongs because in a community or society where gambling is seen as something legit the need to be secretive with his gambling won't count at all because all what he would be thinking is how things are gonna turn up fine for him rather than doing the latter.

people who does not participate in gambling do not think the way you are thinking so basically if they are making mockery at you I believe that they might directly or indirectly discourage you not to participate in gambling that is why even for the environment you find yourself you need to make sure that you protect yourself and to also not to review yourself to people concerning your activity in the gambling but myself I believe that Keeping a Secret in gambling matters a lot so as a new Gambler or old gambler you don't need to be open every time in gambling people that you know that criticize you

[Egii Nna]

Anyone who gambles has their own reason for gambling, which still depends on their own way of life. So I see no reason why you will have to hide what you are doing with your life because no one is in a position to stop you from doing what you do as a source of life and survival. That is why you are a human being, so even if you are a gambler and you think some of the people around you look at you in a negative way, you just have to reduce or cut off entirely with them; if not, they will not allow you to concentrate. But if you keep staying with them, their actions toward you will start making you insecure, and you might get some health issues that will affect you. If you feel like you cannot do without them, then you just have to choose between your own life and other people's lives. That is just the truth because you can never certify people in this life.

There are times that we're in good mood and upon hearing some of those people, they're irritating and even if you don't want to get stressed out by them.

You have to do something for them to stop doing that because it's likely that it's not the first time that they're doing that kind of gossiping of what others are doing and then, having some feedback that's unnecessary and odd and they'll make you hear it out.

I don't think that it's criticism, someone who just happen to see you gamble and yet they've got some reactions and feedback that are unnecessary.

They criticize you if they have seen you do something wrong and you're harming other people but no you don't. There are people that just want to get into the lives of others without even thinking to fix their lives first.

[Mia Chloe]

I do not give a fuck about anyone. But most of my gambling activities are online and in a way most people in public do not even know that I am gambling. Just my friends and people that are very close to me are the ones that know that I am gambling. But if they see me on a land based casino or betting agent shop, they do not give me money and I do not care about their opinion if not in support of gambling.

As awkward as it may seem to some people, gambling activities of most gamblers can actually be affected or influenced by people around them. Most times when a gambler is in the midst of gambling haters, they often try to conceal their frequency during gambling activities however this doesn't appear to be the case where a gambler is in the midst of fellow gambling lovers.
The idea of making ones gambling activities less public is actually made more effective and easy via online gambling. Though some people prefer the physical and traditional gambling methods and casinos, online gambling is definitely more advantageous in terms of flexibility especially for people who usually have little spare time.

[HelliumZ]

Since gambling is legally punishable in our country and has the potential to be socially disgraceful, we cannot participate openly to maintain our social self-respect. Also in our country we don't usually participate in open gambling because a gambler doesn't want to have good social relations with an addict. Moreover no other family wants to be on good terms with the family of a gambler especially a respectable good man will never feel comfortable moving with a gambling addict. Many times a gambler is socially disrespected and banned from important events. Especially since gambling is completely prohibited in our native culture and law, we cannot participate in gambling.

[redsun114]

Yes I do. I even hide my gambling practices from my family and my partner. I had even promised not to gamble again the last time I lost a large amount of money rage betting. I would have hid it but it was too large to go missing. I too have a social life and is considered as a person who don't like to party or gamble. All the gambling I do are online. There are some friends and colleagues who knows I'm active in gambling as we do talk about where the better odds are provided for sports betting and who might win. There's a few friends who are introduced to online games by myself. Except for them, no other would guess the amount of time and money I lose on gambling.

I think a relationship should be based on basic understanding and trust in one another, each partner should know and understand what the other partner likes to do and they should be allowed to do that as long as it is not harming anyone or the relationship. When there are restrictions, no trust, no understanding, that is when such things start to happen where one partner starts hiding their activities from the other which is unethical but what can be done.

I agree with you that each person should have their social life and they should be allowed for it. If you are not an addicted gambler or don't spend excessive money and time on it, your partner should have no problem with it because being too controlling and bossy can bring distances in a relationship in my opinion.

We understand and respect your culture and beliefs when it comes to participating in gambling. I will go ahead with the others, we don't need to discuss this anymore because we know that there are countries that strictly prohibit gambling, even crypto is illegal in them but of course because we are in the modern age now, let's admit it Whether we like it or not, there are many people who belong to their group who secretly hear about or participate in this kind of work. How did I say? Because many people already know and sometimes they even gamble vulgarly even though we know it is forbidden in their culture, seems like they doesn't care anymore what other people may say to them.

Greetings everyone and happy new year all!

Okay, today I was actually out for a little business and it happens that I almost spent all my time wasted without me even having a smooth deal, but along the line I have few games that I have placed a bet and was wanting to view my games from my phone since gambling is now mobile, what I meant by mobile is that you can access your account at any place provided that you have an internet connectivity you will login to monitor your matches.

So when I logged in, someone close to me easily peep from my left hand side and noticed that I just opened my account monitoring my games, at this point what he said is "ahh you don join dem"? Meaning you have also belong to the groups of people that gambles?

On a lighter note, I just smile and asked him if there is anything wrong while gambling or while monitoring my games and he said nothing but just that few people he knew that are gambling almost turned useless.

This now triggered me to come ask here whether you cares about what people says or sees you as when gambling, I know there are people who don't know you from time or who doesn't believe that you are a gambler and if it happens that you came across such people and their reaction towards you goes other way round would you care about it or you just totally ignore them?

Let's discuss amicably

Well it's just like trying to make certain decisions in life,we all know that the society had a huge effect on us in the sense that when we do good and bad there must be some group of people that will usually reckon you for what you've done and it's not like they hate or something but are trying to look out for the good in us but in the other hand their are some that don't mind what you do or experience but with this now it has a way to clearly prove to us that what this people says matters or not.

But  in the aspect of gambling people's opinions matters most times I would say probably if your an addicted gamblers ,but if you're a responsible gambler it doesn't change a fact about you to be bothered about what  people say.

[Jody.Drummer]

I think it depends on the person themselves whether they will care or not about whatever is said by others regarding themselves being involved in gambling, if for example they are one of those people who are easily provoked or easily disturbed by anything, especially criticism from some people who come maybe yes, obviously they will feel disturbed and this is sometimes we are often advised to hide our gambling activities.

But in my opinion there is actually no need to care too much about what other people say regarding whatever you do, just let them comment on anything because anyway you gamble using your own money which means you don't harm anyone, but on the other hand I think you can only ignore some criticism that is not important or means useless, so in any case it is always recommended to look at or respond to everything rationally because only in this way can you distinguish whether other people's criticism is useful for your good or is something that is not important.

Sometimes close friends would be surprised to learn about our involvement in gambling yet it's not a big deal to bother or worry about. Addiction is the only thing a player should avoid not being a victim.

Yes but however it is a fact that most people have a negative perspective on gambling which makes them have a negative perspective on people who are involved in gambling so that criticism appears, I don't know what the problem is but what is certain is that society only sees as a whole about the bad behavior of a gambler who has entered the addiction phase, even though basically for example you are not one of the addicted gamblers but still people will not believe it.

On the other hand I don't know whether what you said is true or not about those who like to criticize actually want to be involved in gambling or not, but certainly one of the reasons they criticize others who are involved in gambling is because they really think that gambling is an activity that is prohibited or that must be avoided and with this then I think it is unlikely that they want to get involved. At the end of the day yes obviously whoever you are if you are involved in gambling then yes there might always be some people who criticize but as I said earlier that we don't need to care too much about it and one of my suggestions is that you better keep your gambling habits a secret to avoid the criticism and the other thing is always listen and apply some of the best advice from people to implement many precautions so that we can avoid the possibility of addiction.

[Ojinga]

For me I don't care about what people say about me gambling, it's my money and my time so if you decide to ge mad at me or thinking that I'm wasting my career with gambling, my dear I don't care all i know is that i benefit from it so i don't give a dem of them. When I was at my teenage years I love football so much every day of my life i come back later from school, why because we do play football when school is over. But my mom was very angry at me that I'm wasting my time playing football instead of me to come and support her with her house chores. She stopped me of playing football because she said too much of loving football would lead to gambling later in my life. Because that's how my elder brother did,  but I see no evil thing with gambling but just that people over use something. For me I don't see why somebody would tell me that I'm going the wrong way because I'm gambling. I know I do lose but I don't really care about that I know what I'm earning for.

Understand that most people see gambling as a root of distraction in life and some people see it as if you're wasting your money gambling. I've also seen someone who gambled and build his on house with gambling.

In my phone right now I've so many betting sites is not that I don't have something doing. I do work but I use the gambling to support my self when I haven't received my payment at work, but their are people who don't do anything for work but what they do with their life is gambling. And this are the set of people who makes gambling seems insane and this set people will leave there home from morning before they'll come back home it's in the night, so is not that gambling is legal no it's not. But those people who are addicted to it makes it seems legal to those who don't know anything about gambling but they only had of it as a destiny distriction, I've a relative who does nothing for work he's life he as been gambling his wife keeps complaining to me about him. But she doesn't know I do gamble as well but his own was so much obvious that even his kids do complain of him.

But he doesn't care of what they say about him gambling because he wins more then loses. He's serious with it his prediction no day of his life that he plays a bet that he doesn't win a game, not that he doesn't lose he does lose but he knows it's a game of strategy and risky you most lose before winning occurs. So he's the one that thought me more about gambling that's why today I do gamble but I'm not sure if I'm addicted to it, so whoever thinks that gambling is a no go area then let it be to his self not condemning others who do gambles.

It's best to ignore them.

It is not going to bother them whether we gamble or not because that's nothing to them and they owe us nothing with whatever we're spending on it.

People nowadays like to meddle and know everything other people's do but they don't focus on their own welfare. But instead, they like to ask things that are quite funny even it's no longer their boundary.

Sometime we need to consider what other's say about us because maybe there can be a good point that we can take from them.
Of course we have our own way to react to what other's say about us, but I think ignoring them completely is also not good unless it comes from someone that we know to be someone who have no good intention at all.
We should not be a hypocrite as well because we may also do the same as them unconsciously because it is like a human nature when we (people) like to talk about others LOL.

My take on it is pretty straightforward, if it’s someone close to me their opinions do matter and usually these concerns can be addressed through an open and honest conversation. However, if it’s just an acquaintance or someone I dont have a strong connection with their opinion doesnt really affect me. This approach isnt just limited to gambling but applies to pretty much all aspects of my life.

At the end of the day what matters most is how you see yourself and not letting others perceptions cloud your own enjoyment or self image.

I think if you're hearing mostly bad things like you here the common impression of people to the gamblers, it's best to ignore them.

That's probably why I think it's best to ignore them but we can't avoid not to listen to them if we're in the same situation as OP that we're someone beside us and sees what we do.

If they say something good and it passes our ear then it's your thought to build in your mind whether you'd ignore or not. But for me, I'd just do my business and will totally ignore them if they're just reacting to what I do when I don't do it to others.

Anyway, you're right that sometimes we're also like them but we just don't voice it out.

Interesting message.
It doesn’t matter to me what people think about my hobby, be it gambling or something else. Everyone has free will and the right to choose what they see fit, unless prohibited by law. Another thing is that you need to have wisdom and watching your bets is not always appropriate. I mean situations when, for example, you are at work or on a date or in a company on a holiday, this can be considered disrespect and bad manners. And regarding people’s opinions, everyone has the right to think about me and everyone else what they see fit

Some of them also wants to become gamblers but are afraid of joining the niche. Due to negative things they've heard about gambling. Although, such thoughts doesn't help enough in stopping people from gambling. Nobody cares about those critics and their wrong perspectives. Once a gambler is not compulsive he's fine and is not meant to bother about what people would say about him. Sometimes close friends would be surprised to learn about our involvement in gambling yet it's not a big deal to bother or worry about. Addiction is the only thing a player should avoid not being a victim.

Yes but however it is a fact that most people have a negative perspective on gambling which makes them have a negative perspective on people who are involved in gambling so that criticism appears, I don't know what the problem is but what is certain is that society only sees as a whole about the bad behavior of a gambler who has entered the addiction phase, even though basically for example you are not one of the addicted gamblers but still people will not believe it.

On the other hand I don't know whether what you said is true or not about those who like to criticize actually want to be involved in gambling or not, but certainly one of the reasons they criticize others who are involved in gambling is because they really think that gambling is an activity that is prohibited or that must be avoided and with this then I think it is unlikely that they want to get involved. At the end of the day yes obviously whoever you are if you are involved in gambling then yes there might always be some people who criticize but as I said earlier that we don't need to care too much about it and one of my suggestions is that you better keep your gambling habits a secret to avoid the criticism and the other thing is always listen and apply some of the best advice from people to implement many precautions so that we can avoid the possibility of addiction.

Beginning from your second paragraph, critics indirectly seek for information where there are not. Personally, have seen people who criticized some habits in the past but are now a part of the habit. A new gambler can criticize an addict, not knowing he could get addicted soon. Who knew he'd become a gambler. It's all a matter of environment and fun activities. Same way those critics wouldn't understand that they can become gamblers in future. Hence, getting hold of such critics to realize that their thoughts about gambling is completely wrong is a nice reminder.

Those few words of conversation would be cemented in his brain. Such that, in future, eventually, when he becomes a gambler, those words will guide him. One side of the publicity is in decline. That's why most people in the society accept that gambling is completely wrong. Helping them redirect such thoughts will help the person to see gambling differently. And such complaints on criticism and stigmatism will be reduced. How you know this is that everyone around you who is a non gambler will argue that gambling has no health benefit.
