Do you care about what people say about you gambling?

It is difficult for a woman to be open about her gambling habits because of the way society perceives gamblers. In the society I find myself, gamblers are seen as lowlifes, people without a job looking to make money from doing nothing. It’s even worse when it’s a woman gambling, people would assume she is wayward. This is problem because in most parts of Africa, a woman’s value is tied to her reputation and she must protect it still cost. I think women gamble online more than they go to physical casinos.

What you are saying that is the absolutely hard truth of our society. In case of most societies all over the world most of the people have the nagetive thoughts about gambling. And if the things are about women then it has become more worser in the society. But now the era is changing peoples thought are also changing so I thing women are also do gamble where they want.

I don't know many women who like gambling, it's even hard to find women interested in investing and money on the places I go (I don't mind, just stating a fact)
maybe there's something to do with aversion to risk, not sure.

many interesting things and conversations to derive from this topic.

many women gamble nowadays, especially now that gambling is very accessible because of online gambling applications, but you're right, it's hard to find women interested when it comes to investment and other financial stuff that you know. They can't just be seen because they don't let people know about their personal matters. That's it.

The way people feel about gambling is very different, and it could be because of their situations or their cultural background. It's important to remember that everyone has their own preferences and choices, and gambling doesn't always show what kind of person someone is.

In countries around Africa where there's this high level of discrimination about gamblers as they think they are low lives, it's more better and preferable for women who would love to gamble to stay online that way it gives them a good level of privacy to enjoy that which they are good at and except the allow you in to their privacy ,chances are you wouldn't know. For guys it's really comm around the world that a good number of us are gamblers so I don't see a big deal even if others try to make one out of it, just make sure you are making money and having fun and soon they will join you to celebrate.

What others think about your gambling habit shouldn't be much of a problem to you especially if you are maintain a responsible gambling habit and you know you are far from addiction, everyone mustn't like your process but they will definitely join I'm the celebration.

The way people feel about gambling is very different, and it could be because of their situations or their cultural background. It's important to remember that everyone has their own preferences and choices, and gambling doesn't always show what kind of person someone is.

We don't need to think about what other people say about us even though we gamble. They also won't know we gamble responsibly and always have strict boundaries. We can also know when to stop because we have that limit.

Just let them say what they want. If we don't like what they say, we don't need to argue about it either. That would just waste our time. It's better for us to return to our previous activities and enjoy them. They will then stop talking about us because we don't respond either.

After all, we take care of our lives and don't bother others. Those who often say untrue things about us will suffer consequences, especially if they meet people who know us.

I wouldn't mind about what anyone will say towards my gambling activities because some people that don't understand that gambling is not for useless people will not accept your own point of view. So no need to bother about what people are talking about me because they finally noticed that I am a gambler. This is why one needs to gamble responsible to prove them wrong about what they think about gambling. Some people thinks that the moment you start gambling, your life will get ruined just because some irresponsible gamblers think that gambling is to get rich quick or to make profit got carried away with their mindset and became addicted to gambling, which later ruin them just because they lack self control. As long as have self control over my gambling a activities, I am cool with it because I do get all the entertainment that I need through gamble.

If it is random people, I also will ignore them. But if my close people give suggestion about my gambling activities, I will try to understand what they are trying to tell with me. Sometimes, there are things that we don't aware about my habits. If we are experiencing bad habits, it should be stopped soon. How if the people care with me? They may try to let me know about something wrong in my activities. If it is their main purpose, I personally won't ignore it but I will try to understand it and evaluate my habits. Not every one has bad purpose to say something, there are people who have good purpose.

Depending on the person who made such a statement could be a trouble for both the player and the person. As the gambler wouldn't stop immediately and the complainant wouldn't stop until he sees the gambler is not part of the habit. However, when we respect our family, it's crucial in making us feel more comfortable at home. But that wouldn't be simpler for a gambler, who has been in the game for long. He'd hardly change, I mean not immediately. That's why the person who disturbs the gambler must not pest his life to feel uncomfortable about himself. Because if he doesn't feel comfortable it could be trouble in the sense that the gambler may begin to avoid the person. On the contrary if the gambler understands that his habit is no longer favorable to the people around him, he is expected to make an adjustment.

Even if it's requires stopping the habit. As family means lots of fun to us than gambling would offer the gambler on the long run. No need proving anybody wrong, it may cause the gambler to get addicted. In the case of a stranger, they would be no need to fidget. Holding some conversations with him is excellent. At least to remove his doubts about gamblers being some weird people who don't add value to the society. That's what most people think whenever they see a gambler. Since they've got little information on gambler, that they can't differentiate between an addicted and a responsible gambler. The need for a close explanation would do the work. So that he wouldn't continue to see gamblers the same. Opening up to him that some gamblers don't misbehave like he's believed, growing up. Or wherever he got his intuition about gamblers.

The way people feel about gambling is very different, and it could be because of their situations or their cultural background. It's important to remember that everyone has their own preferences and choices, and gambling doesn't always show what kind of person someone is.

Yes, that's true, but sometimes what many people see nowadays from television or the media is that all gamblers are always seen as bad or negative in their eyes. All gamblers are still the same even though only a few individuals commit crimes such as robbing or stealing just to finance their gambling, that's why I say that being an online gambler is fun because other people won't know that we gamble differently if we play physical or offline gambling, because people can see it and will still think that we are bad gamblers. even though we are not that bad  

What others think about your gambling habit shouldn't be much of a problem to you especially if you are maintain a responsible gambling habit and you know you are far from addiction, everyone mustn't like your process but they will definitely join I'm the celebration.

Everyone definitely has a different view of a gambler, but most of them will generally think that gamblers are the worst people in their eyes, even though we are responsible gamblers and never commit crimes just to finance our gambling, the point is never let other people know about our gambling activities, especially if they are not gamblers, of course they will consider and think of us as very bad and negative people.

It's enough for us to focus on the gambling we play, we don't need people to know about our gambling activities, let alone be busy caring about what other people think of us because only gamblers will be able to understand other gamblers.

One thing that I always say to people, both those who want to attack and advise me and those they advise about gambling, is that as long as you are not the one giving me the money I'm using to gamble or they are not the one giving whomever they are advising to stop gambling, then they have no say about it in their lives and also in mine.
 
The only place and only person one needs to listen to regarding gambling decisions is if the person in question is the one who gave them money to gamble or if they are still the ones paying for their bills. All of that said, you have no other option than to go online and listen to the advice, but if it's all this public advice that gives advice based on their random ideas, I don't give a listen to them.

Indeed, worrying and becoming shy in front of other people's malicious and disrespectful teasing about our gambling is really something that affects our personal psychology and living habits, from childhood until now, we are mature enough to know that such malicious people only appear as a minority in our lives, we cannot allow them to be disrespectful and if they do, it is safer to keep our distance and abandon the relationship. Many people always have such ungainliness and lack of sophistication in life, a quick glance at them is too much time, don't worry a little more about them.

We recognize them though which means we care enough what they say behind our backs. Although I don't confront those people, I only look at them and respect them. Somehow we all know some time in their lives someone judges them too. 

I care what other people say, I just don't show it and most importantly I keep my gambling activity online and discreet just to be safe and that my kid will not learn that from someone else but from me.

[Agbamoni]

No one who will look me in the face and tell me anything about me gambling. Gambling is a choice and i have chosen to take any responsibility that comes when gambling. I do not care about people opinion because i do not also care about what they do with their hard earned money, that is why they shouldn't be concerned about what i do with mine.

Anyone who feels that gambling is a bad habit at least it is not the only bad habits in the world. That same person who thinks negative of you because you are a gambler, even if you are addicted. That same person may be addicted to other things like womanizing, alcohol, drugs or smoking.

[Wiwo]

Well personally I don't care about that, reason being that, my personality have made me not to give a dem about what people say or think about me as long as they don't come close or over stepping their boundaries to confront me face to face and to avoid that, I always choose to gamble in my privacy and not many know I am into gambling at some point.

Another thing is that, I am not onto inrrrespinsibile gambling so at that, there is no causes for alarm as long as I gamble only with in my means.

like seriously I wonder why somebody would want to advise me on what to do with my funds if I gamble I gamble for myself and if anyone is not comfortable with it then they should rest everyone as their life to life but trying to advise me will piss me off and if I should record any win they are still the same people that want you to give them money out of your win and still want to advise you, everybody should be on their lane. gambling is fun and they should not pay the bills they should mind their business and not come to tell me they want to advise me and I will continue to gamble and most of the things I am using I got the money from gambling no matter how bad it is I will always have one or two wins

[moneystery]

most people's perception of gambling is quite negative because they think that gambling is a useless, wasteful activity, and especially when you live in a country that is quite religious they will look down on gamblers because it is haram.

and because of this, if it is not very important, reduce accessing casino applications when in public areas because we don't know how people will react to what we do. they could say unpleasant words and that will disturb us when gambling. but if you don't mind what other people say, then just play, but i personally prefer to play in a quieter place to avoid these things and noise.

You know it's okay with me, and there's no problem if I ever see a woman gambling. What I don't like is when I see female influencers who encourage gambling online on Facebook promoting it with a lot of disrespect so children can watch and see it.

It doesn't matter if other people's lives are messed up; you know what that means. I'm more okay with the woman who gambles; just don't trick the viewers into signing up with their link and saying that there's no losing at the casino they're promoting.

~Snip
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

For me personally, it's not that important to care about things like that. Because the most important thing is that I gamble using my own money and not using other people's money. So there is no reason why I should care about people commenting on my life, because the important thing is that I don't harm other people. Moreover, if someone criticizes the activities I do (gambling), I will definitely ignore that person.

Because I am a typical person who really likes tolerance, so if there are other people who are not tolerant of me, such as prohibiting activities that I do, it feels a little uncomfortable for me. So basically I will ignore people who comment on my life (criticism), regarding gambling. But even so, I will continue to absorb his words which I think contain positive elements. Because sometimes the words of people who criticize us have positive elements that are very beneficial for us

But I am grateful that the people around me are very tolerant of me. So I never felt like anyone was criticizing me about gambling. Because in my opinion gambling is a personal right and freedom. Because if we win we will enjoy it and when we lose we will also reflect on it. And people around me also agree with that opinion.

Many people always have such ungainliness and lack of sophistication in life, a quick glance at them is too much time, don't worry a little more about them.

People like that always come into our lives from when we were children until we were adults. Even when we are old, there are people like that. This requires a special attitude not to be influenced by what they say.

Yes, it's safer for us to keep our distance from them and not get too close. Many good people around us still will not talk about our bad things. These are people who are sincere to us. And even though they know we gamble, they don't talk much because it's their own business.

If we still want to gamble, we can continue gambling as usual. Those who talk bad about us will go somewhere else. They will look for people they can influence.

That's why I prefer gambling more often at home, just keeping it online, that way nobody will know what I am doing unless I tell them or one of my family members inside our house would gossip about me. It's not like I will care about what they say but I am more worried that it will affect my kids once they know that their father is being gossiped about outside, I bet they will tell me to stop to clear my name. So, as much as possible, don't tell a soul outside your circle, or better, don't show anyone that you gamble.
In this era though, gambling had been a normal thing so I think those who gossip about it are the traditional people who believe it is evil to gamble. Well, in my case that's the only entertainment I could have and it adds flavor while watching the sport that I prefer, basketball. Just watching it plain is sometimes boring but when you put a bet on it, it becomes more spicy and you will cheer more.
Some of my trusted friends also bet on sports and they are the only ones I talk to about how much our bets are and if we win or lose, that way if they backstab me and gossip me, I can say he also does the same as revenge.

[dansus021]

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?

Where are you from and is gambling considered as negative in your country?

Do you care about what people say about you gambling? No Im not really care about people saying my friend knows about this my brother knows about this but they just didn't care about it. But when I do gamble I just doit on my phone and rarely using a laptop or PC because the screen is so big and people would say "Oh you do gamble" Im not care about it but it fell annoying if a lot of people say it so I prefer do gamble in private and keep on mobile. 

for me as long It doesn't have a direct impact on my personal life I don't really care about it. When you are grown up you know what bad and good things for you and you should can control of it.

[boty]

One thing that I always say to people, both those who want to attack and advise me and those they advise about gambling, is that as long as you are not the one giving me the money I'm using to gamble or they are not the one giving whomever they are advising to stop gambling, then they have no say about it in their lives and also in mine.
 
The only place and only person one needs to listen to regarding gambling decisions is if the person in question is the one who gave them money to gamble or if they are still the ones paying for their bills. All of that said, you have no other option than to go online and listen to the advice, but if it's all this public advice that gives advice based on their random ideas, I don't give a listen to them.

Those who attack us about the gambling we play, of course they don't understand how we gamble and it's impossible for them to understand the gambling we play. All they can do is criticize people who gamble because they don't like gambling, but for those who advise us in gambling of course we can see how they advise us, if they advise us because they have had a lot of experience in the gambling they play I don't think there's any harm in listening but we remain in our stance whether what they say is true or they just say it is not appropriate with what they know.

Only people who are inexperienced or don't like gambling are easy to criticize negative things about gambling, usually this is done by our closest neighbors who may know we gamble. and of course they make fun of our activities in gambling because they consider gambling to be negative behavior and very contrary to religion.
We respond to this by leaving it alone, because everyone has their own views on gambling, and if there are parties who suggest that we should not gamble too much, that is a positive thing for us, because there are still parties who pay attention and give. our advice.

So basically everyone's perception of gambling is different, some support it and some reject it. We try to adapt when we meet one of these people with the aim of preventing it from becoming a new problem in life.
