What is the definition of a Gambler? Do you consider yourself as a Gambler?

[Gozie51]

I played some hands it's true and I tested many games for test purposes But I was never affected by the gamble. and I consider I am not a gambler myself. Somehow I do not feel good or something does not fit with me by this word.

Unfortunately the first time player, second time or old time player are all regarded as gambler so long you are see in the domain of gambling or in the act of gambling. This is especially for offline gambling because there is no hiding place for those who go into the gambling houses, even if you sneak in you never knew who saw you or you might be coming out and suddenly meet someone that you have been hiding your gambling habit from. It is just a name called to those who are seen gambling. So whoever that doesn't want to be called a gambler should stay away from gambling environment.

What do you think about yourself and how do you want to define the word Gambler?

In my country the language or word 'Gambler', if defined or speculated on, has a broad meaning and many of its meanings lead to negative words, such as: gamblers, liars are often referred to as thieves, words like that are very negative and insulting to those who hear them, to be honest, I personally don't like hearing that Gambler is mentioned.

What's more, when the word Gambler is mentioned in a Muslim-majority environment, it is a real insult to those who hear it, so it's preferable to be called 'Weedy', maybe it's not too crooked to hear if it's defined and it's still funny to hear.

Personally, I don't like the word Gambler tbh. And it feels more worse when someone calls someone a Gambler in the local language. I played some hands it's true and I tested many games for test purposes But I was never affected by the gamble. and I consider I am not a gambler myself. Somehow I do not feel good or something does not fit with me by this word.

What do you think about yourself and how do you want to define the word Gambler?

You no need to identify yourself as a gambler everywhere but the definition of gambler is "one who gambles" which means if you are gambling then the person who is gambling will be called as gambler.

Religions made gambling look bad, but one who addicted to it are the one need to be blamed not everyone who is doing it responsible.

But people will still call you a gambler because it's a layman's language that they know for people who frequent casinos to gamble, I'm not bothered by people calling me a gambler it doesn't bother me at all, it's my money and I'm free to do it my way and I know that I'm a responsible gambler, so I need not worry.

In the country I live in, gambling is widely considered bad activity and some people who are still too religious about religious beliefs will consider gambling or being gambler to be bad thing that should be avoided.
The word gambler is more often interpreted as someone who likes betting on sports betting, cockfighting, card games, online casino games or also lottery betting and indeed this type of betting is the most popular among the people where I live.
But we who like to gamble, even though it gets bad view from some people, still don't care about it and we will do it because this is one of the pleasures you have.

As long as it doesn't harm other people and make other people experience hardship or misery then whatever form of gambling is done and whatever point of view everyone has about us gamblers, it still not problem that needs to be cared about.
After all, we gamble using the money we earn ourselves from hard work or the results of doing business.
There will be no right for other people to judge by saying that we are the worst people because those who say bad things about gambling are not necessarily people who always do good.

[Beparanf]

It is unethical to be called a gambler if we only try or test the game,

The moment you play, you are already considered as gambler no matter what is your real intention even if you are trying it because you are already involved. I believe addiction is what bad in the eyes and not the gambling itself because it’s just a game that provides entertainment.

but the views of other people if we gamble then they are not wrong to call us gamblers, only we personally know only trials, but people's views are very different from what we think. think, just let them say what they say about us, at least we won't harm other people and ourselves

It’s either you will gamble in secret or just ignore others opinion about you because everything that you do makes people judge you when you have a neighbor that is interested to your life.

[Gaza13]

In my opinion, perhaps what someone says is a gambler is the cards or dice they are playing. There are betting activities being played in the environment by using money or valuables owned by many of the players. They or someone who is building their business and their funds are more than one person, in my opinion Business can also be called gambling or in other words (betting) but someone's view is seen as a positive view. They build changes or progress in their lives.

[Accardo]

The world is filled with gamblers, both traditional and online. It's a very large term and has different meaning and definition. Gambling is an act of choosing between options which we won't know it's outcome. Although with a few more skill one could have a better chance of winning than another. But, to round it up, everyone gambles. However, people would argue about this, but forget that at some point they'll have to gamble on whether to trek or take a ride to a destination. We can't do two things at a given time, that's why we are presented with choices. Players need to know that it mustn't be when we gamble in casinos that's when we are gamblers. Most people who don't like gamblers, may have gambled unknowingly with a friend over an argument or debate. But it's weird to see a gambler who doesn't want to get referred as one. That's really a huge difference in personality.

Well even outside religious belief, gambling still has its own bad impression but that's not to the activity itself but with people who became greedy and unrealistic with what gambling is all about. If things are managed properly then nothing will be viewed negatively. We can enjoy gambling as "gamblers" by managing the risks and avoiding ideologies that wil push us to higher tendencies of loss.

No matter what game you play as long as "betting" is involved then that would make you a gambler already. Either casino or sports related betting, things are the same if we are just referring to the idea of gambling ever since and I doubt there's a need for changes with that. Gambling will be more understood with the idea of taking the risk and being prepared for the outcome or consequences of your assumption. What should be more questioned is that, would you be okay being called or known as a gambler? 'coz if that's the case I would be one who will not be ashamed of it but also one who will not brag it to other people.

No platform will result to categorization; things are simply the same nd the difference only speaks for one's preference. Some are into casino games or establishments and some are into convenience of playing and overall experience. Nothing's wrong and nothing's better.

It doesn't matter to me when someone tell me that I am a gambler because I admit that I am someone who often comes to gambling to bet on gambling and I cannot forbid anyone from calling me a gambler.
But sometimes someone not comfortable being called a gambler because usually they only bet on sports betting and they think that sports betting is not a gambler and considers people worthy of being called a gambler when betting on casino games.
I understand this case but for me, placing a bet anywhere still a gambler.

[passwordnow]

If that doesn't fit you then you can change the term and call yourself in any title that you are good to take. Maybe, something as a bettor? Is that going to give you some light feelings about doing some gambling activities and still won't be called as a gambler? IMO, it's not a big problem whether someone will address me as a gambler, a bettor or whatever they prefer. But just as you're saying OP, if we don't like being addressed like that and we have our own definitions, you do you.

I understand this case but for me, placing a bet anywhere is still a gambler.

Technically, that's true. But if it's just for the word placing or call out, you can call whatever you wish to but it won't change the fact that you're gambling, you're betting and staking your money with any gambling activities that you are doing. It's just a delicate matter to some but to the others, it doesn't matter at all and what matters to the most of us is that we're winning and making ourselves satisfied with all of the gambling activities that we do.

Progress in life is step by step, we don't rush into doing what we think will harm us, because everything have advantages and disadvantages. Our lives can be better only when we do what we think is right, we bring on the best of our abilities to equipped ourselves to become the winning mindset. A little bit of changes starts to happen whenever one decides to know more about football and other key sports, some are easy to understand while some are complex. Really, everyone that indugles in football predictions and odds is categorized to be a gambler because they will start developing the features of a gambler.

[Samlucky O]

The simple definition of a Gambler is just a risk taker. A gambler is a person that have the zeal and passion to succeed even when he is not sure of his success, but have an undoubtedly mindset.  A gambler is a person that sterve himself to risk the money he would have use for other important things to use and stake a game which is likely or not likely to play.

[GreatArkansas]

(....)
What do you think about yourself and how do you want to define the word Gambler?

The most common answer could be: If you risk taker, you are a gambler.
For me, that is the simplest answer. Another answer could be if you gamble frequently, then you are a gambler, if you do gambling as a source of income, you are a gambler. If you gamble full-time and source of income to feed your family, you are definitely a gambler.

[Cryptoprincess101]

A gambler is someone who does whatever thing with any little amount to increase for a personal profits or doubling. We can be called gambler if we portrays that quality, though one must not be in that condition to be fully called but at least who constantly plays games for a profiting purpose. That is why people are being calling with worlds gamblers, maybe you might feel you aren't affected but less until you can't stay for along time without gambling; that is to say you must associates yourself with anything that has to do with gaming to maximized profits.

Your definition is quite okay but I believe it's not only about staking with little amount in other to increase his profit because there are actually people that gamble with huge amounts as well so when we're talking about who a gambler is I think the best definition should be someone who involves himself in a game that he knows actually that his chances of winning and losing are equal no matter the amount that is at staked.

[Getmon]

I gamble but not day to day and the money wagered are only minimal. I see myself as a mini gambler but I do not like to be called a gambler because I am not exactly the person that can be found in clubs wagering huge sums and it is normal to them. I wagered on sports, but I am very different from gamblers who communicate with their agents via phone about their picks, which also bring in a ton of money.

Personally, the genuine gamblers are the sharks. They are the gamblers who wage huge sums daily. And they are wealthy individuals who own funds that are not derived from gambling.

It does not matter how much you wager and how often you play, you are gambling as long as you are risking your own money. Since you are doing gambling (verb), you as the subject should be called as gambler when you are doing the activity. Mini, small, average, big, or whatever we call it, it is just a classification of gamblers. If you do not like to be called as gambler, you should not gamble at all. 

[SeaCoinCollector.]

People have different ideas about what "gambler" means. Some people might not think much of the word when they hear someone who likes to play games of chance, while others might think of someone who is addicted or careless. How people in general feel about games and their own lives may give different people different ideas about what the word means.

It's possible that the word "gambler" makes you feel bad. Could you say "gaming enthusiast" or maybe "someone who likes to bet or play games sometimes"? It sounds better. People who play and gamble should choose words that show how they feel and what they think because English is open to change.

What do you think about yourself and how do you want to define the word Gambler?

If you don't feel any good to be called that in public then maybe hide your activities to public so they don't know or get any leads regarding on your gambling activities.  And since you are a tester then I guess you are not in a category which we can called a gambler since maybe you just try to figure out how things work and trying to enjoy it so maybe the right thing to be called on type of people like that is adventurous.

Since if you are a gambler for sure this paying on a casino is part of your daily activities and you can risk whatever amount you have for the sake of enjoyment. But everyone have different interpretation regarding on this and we can't argue to people on what they want to call us. If they call you a gambler without knowing the real score better ignore them or just simply ride the conversation since for sure they would stop if they see you not affected on words they are calling to you.

It doesn't matter to me when someone tells me that I am a gambler because I admit that I am someone who often comes to gambling to bet on gambling and I cannot forbid anyone from calling me a gambler.

 Why will someone who gambles be even bothered that he is called a gambler? Is the person not a gambler? If you pick an offense when called a gambler try to remain anonymous or quit gambling. Well, if you remain anonymous you are still a gambler. A gambler is a gambler. I am happy gambling and calling me a gambler doesn`t piss me. Yeah! that`s what I do. If you think gambling is bad and you don`t want people to associate you with it, stop it. Gambling is legal in my country so I am not going against the State law gambling. Put me on TV, tell the world that I am a gambler, and if there is an award, call my line I will be ready to pick it up lol.

[michellee]

I gamble, and I define the word Gambler as a person who plays a game using money. Maybe that sounds uncomfortable for some people but others can accept it. They do admit that they are gamblers. But some people hide their gambling activities so that other people don't call them gamblers.

And it is the right of everyone to accept the word Gambler in themselves. If they don't want to be called a gambler, they can hide their gambling activities. By hiding it, they could prevent the word Gambler from being used by others. It can make them comfortable with their gambling activities.

As long as we are not affected by anything from gambling, we do not need to feel uncomfortable with the word Gambler. We can use gambling as it should be. We also don't need to feel uncomfortable or dislike it because that's how it is.
