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

[Blitzboy]

Personally, I don't like the word Gambler tbh. And it feels more worse when someone calls someone a Gambler in the local language.

Why? Is it due to the stigma your local society carries about gambling practice and its enthusiasts? So you feel inferiorized and marginalized by being called a gambler? Well, you shouldn't feel bad about it, since you aren't prejudicing others with your gambling habits, neither prejudicing your own life. People should learn to distinguish the problem gamblers from the average gamblers, who correspond to the biggest portion of them, and don't have any major negative consequences over their lives due to practicing this activity.

If someone calls me a gambler, I will tell them yes, I gamble from times to times, and even though there might be a law condemning such activity, plus society's common sense, I don't feel belittled or guilty of anything. Gambling is the minor of the issues if you analyze the whole society's problems, what means they are hypocrities by pointing their fingers to gambling, while corruption is going strong among authorities and businessmen, unemployment rates are high and people don't have access to quality health services. Gambling popularity rises only as consequence of those problems, as people are desperate to fulfill their necessities somehow, so they appeal to gambling as a last resource, even though they shouldn't do so.

It shouldn't be hard to define a gambler, and there shouldn't be any negative pre trials over someone for him being a gambler. Judgments and concerns should be strictly pointed to problem gamblers exclusively.

I bet occasionally for fun, not necessity. Remember that gambling, like any hobby, can be fun without harming one's life.

Problem and casual gambling are different, and I wish more people understood. Most gamblers avoid letting their hobby affect their life or others. Enjoy responsibly and know your limits. I believe moderation in gambling should be celebrated, not condemned.

Public judgment hypocrisy is also unavoidable. Others denounce gambling, yet corruption and lack of access to basic services go unchecked. This double standard shows the need to broaden our view of what harms society. Community support and understanding rather than condemnation can help us view gambling and its role in our lives more positively.

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.

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.

It's usually good to firstly understand the concept of what ever it is you are going into before you then embark on such thing because if you don't understand what you are doing and then you just venture into it you are definitely going to pay for your ignorances, you may aswell learn the hard way because you have refused to learn and understand first.

Most of the time people think because gambling is mostly luck based then you should just go and randomly pick anything not minding if it will go wrong or positioning yourself to an advantage, you need to have a good knowledge about sports if you are going into sports betting els you just be gifting your money to the casino all in the name of trying to be lucky, you may never get lucky because the casino is built naturally to our disadvantage so until you know better how to be ahead of the house then you will continually lose your money to the house.

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.

Exactly! As we all know that there's nothing wrong if someone will call you a gambler because that's what supposed to call a person who play with the extent of money. Some people may be embarrassed when others call them gamblers, or maybe they just don't want people who know them to look at them badly because we know that when others hear the word gambling, the first thing that comes to their mind are doing bad habits and its influence on a person.

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?

I'm not quite sure what you mean here, or what term you are suggesting we use to refer to individuals who participate in gambling activities. One more thing, seeing that you are someone who is promoting a gambling campaign but does not identify as a gambler himself. Allow me to clarify to you that being a gambler does not necessarily entail engaging in gambling activities regularly. If you have participated in gambling, even if it's only testing out various games, and have played multiple games, then you are considered a gambler.

[borovichok]

I gamble, and I define the word Gambler as a person who plays a game using money.

Apart from money, other valuables like house, car, wife etc can be used to gamble. It is these valuables, money included, that make gambling risky. If money or valuables is removed from gambling activities then the risk is removed and it will no longer be gambling. So, a gambler is a risk taker. He foresees dangers and gets into it.

[Outhue]

This is one of the reasons you don't expose yourself as a gambler, don't try such in my country, once you are a gambler that's been sighted by people you will forever be a gambler in their mind, even if you quit later it changes nothing.

I prefer online gambling because of this, my father warned me about gambling and as a responsible gambler I kept it a secret, no one knows that I do gamble and sometimes I even advice against gambling to my nieces, because I doubt they can handle gambling like I do, I don't want to see them getting addicted.

It's not safe and I get by because I know how to get by without getting addicted, I am scared for myself and I sometimes thing about my decision, asking myself if I am doing the right thing or not, this is called awareness, many gamblers can't judge their decisions, they won't know if they are doing everything wrong.

[danherbias07]

Yeah, me too. I don't want to be called by that. I am a gambler but when people talk about it, it's irritating me. It feels like you are bad and they are good while it's not entirely true.

I am a gambler, I will accept that but I don't want to be called by anyone in my circle like that. This is why I don't like talking about my habits to other people because they talk and then it becomes a pandemic that will scatter so fast to the whole circle.
We have names, they can use that, or just say "the guy" not the gambler.
A gambler does gamble but almost all the people in the world have some gamble in their lives. It may not be about the money on the line but they are also trying to risk something for a better return. That's the definition of a gambler for me. Anyone who takes risks either in life or trading and investing, they are all gamblers who is making a risky decision because they want to achieve something that ain't normal.
For me, I gamble by means of playing sports betting and that is because I want to watch the game with more spice because I have money on the line for the team I am rooting for and my wife knows about that so I have no reason to keep it.

Gambler literally since you do gamble, it is really just that you cant be able to accept to be called one since you arent that addicted with it, well this is really just that on your own personal views.  

When you do involved yourself into betting or risking out some fiat or money on betting into something then its literally meaning that you are doing gambling.
It is really just that there are people who are really that too sensitive when it comes to gambling thing on which they are really that still in denial that
they are really that doing gambling even if they are really that engaging into it. If you dont like on being called as a gambler then you
shouldnt be playing at all. lol

If money or valuables is removed from gambling activities then the risk is removed and it will no longer be gambling. So, a gambler is a risk taker. He foresees dangers and gets into it.

And the word "gamble" which makes anyone who gambles anything of value will be in a situation of "the possibility of losing or gaining more" and that means there is a possibility for those involved to lose something and one of them may be the valuables you mentioned, it could be a car, house, land or anything that has a selling value, and of course this means that gambling has the risk of "losing" something you have, especially something you bet on.

Therefore, I really disagree if there is someone who thinks that gambling can be used as a place to make a living, one of the other reasons is because there is absolutely no certainty whatsoever for the results at the end of the session because this activity is nothing more than a game of "chance or possibility". So you will find the real facts in gambling if you can see from various sides and think rationally, I think with this then most likely you will not dare to do some actions that are beyond your ability such as putting too large amounts because of the possible risks that continue to lurk.

Whether a person is addicted or not, when that person is still involved in gambling, likes visiting physical or online casinos, and still likes to place bets, then that person is still said to be a gambler. And the difference is that an addict will continue to visit casinos and gamble, whereas you only gamble and visit casinos when you have the urge to gamble and when you have free time to gamble. or more simply, a gambling addict is unable to control gambling, while you are able to do so.

And if you don't want to be called a gambler, then don't ever decide to get involved in the world of gambling. And another option, if you don't want to be called a gambler by other people, then just gamble online and hide the activity so that no one knows about the gambling activity you are doing.
However, if you really like gambling, in my opinion, getting a calling as a gambler is not a bad thing and it can be considered that this is quite normal.

Of course, a rational thinker is a conscious person and will always be minimal with his stake. But then we get so emotional and irrational when we become addicted to the game. Addictive gambling can always propel a gambler into revenge gambling which is natural for an addict. This can make even a conscious and rational person behave in ways beyond his control since he is been controlled by his feelings and emotions and not his reasoning.

I hate to hear what gambling is called in the local language of my country and I don't gamble much and never consider myself a gambler. Because I just enjoy gambling it is not my profession. There are many people who use gambling as a pastime and enjoy gambling. They find gambling too easy.  They are the real gamblers and in the eyes of Samas they are also bad natured people. It is said that they do not have much respect in the society. So people addicted to gambling do not want to accept themselves as gamblers

I do not understand how the word gambler is wrong. In that case, the word "Gambling Sites" would be bad too?

Yes, in a society where gambling is not allowed, in that case, if you are a known gambler or if people know that you are involved in gambling, then, in that case, people may think bad of you as you are involved in activities not recommended. Similarly in societies where religion is strictly followed and in the religion gambling is prohibited and if you insist on playing gambling or found that you are a gambler, people may think bad about you.

So it is not about the definition of gambler that needs to be changed. If you are gambling, then you are a gambler, no matter what you will like to call yourself, it's gambling underneath.

I'm also not comfortable with being called a gambler. Maybe because we are in a religious society where gambling is considered a bad act. To be honest, I was also like you where I played several sites and games just as a test and I didn't use the money I earned or spent for my daily needs. In the end, those of us who feel uncomfortable with being called "gamblers" are because we live in an environment where gambling is bad and prohibited.

[lombok]

Simple actually. If you gamble, gamble with small or large amounts of money, gamble often or not and are still gambling then you deserve to be called a gambler. If you don't want to be called that then stop and don't get involved with gambling anymore. If the nickname is bad, then what about gambling provider sites?

[Agbamoni]

I consider gambling as an act of taking betting on a possible or impossible odd which we do not know which it is. For the sole aim of getting extra money, doubling of current funds or for entertainment purposes. However as long as there is uncertainty in the risk taking it is also called gambling. Many persons may see it in a different way, but this is how i see gambling and i have agreed that any consequences i face while gambling will be on my head. Since i have understand how it is before going into it.

I think the OP doesn't like to use the word gambler to define himself because of the negative connotation it has, but I'm with you, if you gamble, be it more or less you are a gambler. If we look up a dictionary definition we could curl it more but colloquially it is understood that way.

I am not a big gambler in terms of amounts or frequency and I don't mind being called a gambler, although it would be more accurate to call me an occasional gambler, that's for sure.

OP, you feel this way because of the negative stereotypes gamblers get in the society where you live. I totally understand this feeling because where I come from, people see gamblers as lazy and irresponsible people who live their whole lives daydreaming instead of working hard to achieve their dreams. But  this negative comments about gamblers doesn't change the fact that you are a gambler when in real sense you actually gamble. Yea, anyone who bets on anything is a gambler whether you do it consciously or not. You just have to erase those thoughts from your head and do what you love doing irrespective of how people view it. Being called a gambler is not the issue, the issue here is how you go about gambling.  Gamble responsibly and you will love the lifestyle.

[Accardo]

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.

No equality in the chances of winning or losing in gambling. The player can't detect how many times he'd win or lose. Hence, he is only gambling his money hoping on luck or getting fun from the results. A gambler could be anybody, some people may not accept to be called gamblers, but within them are gamblers. But due to the nature of the society and the stigma on addicted gamblers, it happens that many people prefer to stay low key gambling. So, in the presence of such a person, calling him a gambler could be offensive, since he's working strides ahead to conceal such habits from people around him. Other names as a player, wagerer, risk taker, etc. These are general names to many other things, and a synonym to the word "gambler." When used in public the entire non gamblers present won't have the slightest inkling of what it means.

[....]Somehow I do not feel good or something does not fit with me by this word.

It's not feels over reals but the other way around. Just because you don't like the feeling of being called a gambler doesn't change the fact that you've placed bets and that makes you a gambler on some level. You're not compulsive so you're most likely the occasional type. That probably falls under the casuals but to a lesser degree.
