Being called a gambler, compliment or insult?

[Fredomago]

More on your own perspectives and how you handle your gambling participation, and just what we all said it's your money and it's on you to take charge with the risk that involve, gambling might be for entertainment or for other things around it's you and your own understanding and believe that will keep you, no matter what and how people see it there's no harm if you just mind your own things.

This becomes important when a person is a public figure, followed by many who try to imitate them, because what others say is very important But this doesn't mean it's bad. I don't care what they say whoever talks doesn't put food on my table, and the same applies to anyone who wants to mess with me If I want to do something , I do it and if it's at a casino , I do it too Besides, that doesn't hurt anyone.

Yup, they are protecting their names and the image that they are trying to portray though for those who are just ordianry gambler, most them doesn't care anything as they just wanted to play, gamble, enjoy and win, those are the things that's present inside the minds of a person who are involve to this venue of entetainment, and same with what you said, doing it with your own will won't hurt anyone or affect anyone unless you are bothering them in some ways.

Why should someone even be called a gambler when he has his own name he bears, there are things we should try to avoid doing because it doesn't sound well hearing that we are not ring disciplined even from how we talk, there's a need for moral discipline and we have to caution what we say and those we say call by name, except for pleasure purpose, when we are playing together with each other and for fun.

People are seeing what is happening around you and if they noticed that you gamble too much and you don't always make profits, they might assume that you are a chronic gambler that would never stop gambling and as such, they might be forced to call you a gambler. There are people that would purposely call you a gambler when they want to make you feel bad and their idea making you to admit that you are a gambler. Not everybody that would be cool when they are called a gambler and I don't see anything wrong with that name if you are truly a gambler.

How they would be able to know that you arent that profitable? not unless if they do literally see you on playing then they do know that you arent profitable or losing up that much but actually its safe to say that majority of gamblers are indeed losers at the end. The only thing here is that its been generalized on which means that they are that trying out to generalize that gamblers are considered out to be addicted andn thats something which is very wrong but as a person who doesnt want to get called about being addicted then it would turn out that you would be that getting insulted on what they've been saying but if you do know deep inside  that it isnt true then you would be just that simply ignoring out these kind of calls about being a gambler. As long you do find yourself responsible then you should be just that fine. You are the ones will be doing something that will be avoiding you on potential addiction and would be going having that financial difficulties.

Yup, they are protecting their names and the image that they are trying to portray though for those who are just ordianry gambler, most them doesn't care anything as they just wanted to play, gamble, enjoy and win, those are the things that's present inside the minds of a person who are involve to this venue of entetainment, and same with what you said, doing it with your own will won't hurt anyone or affect anyone unless you are bothering them in some ways.

You're right some gamblers wouldn't want people to describe them as gamblers just as you said that they might be doing that to protect their image because they feel that they are not doing the right thing, but as for those ordinary gamblers they don't care if they describe them as gamblers or not because they have absolutely nothing to hide as their intentions is just to play and have fun or for entertainment sake, it is only those that sees gambling as a means of survival or a source of income that could possibly hide their gambling habit from people so as for people not to spoil their mind.

Most of us live in a society where we're looking for acceptance in some way, to not be looked down upon or labeled as weird or crazy But you know, I've learned that this doesn't teach us anything or bring us any good. If we like doing X activity, it shouldn't matter to us whether others accept it or not The same goes for casinos, sports betting, everything is taboo until we decide not to give it any importance.

The problem is, they won't accept being called a gambler. Some people can accept it, even if it's said in a mocking or joking tone. We can certainly tell the difference between a mocking and a joking tone. But for those whose emotions escalate when called a gambler, I think they're addicted because they can't accept it.

Some gamblers out their don't have the confidence to identify themselves as gamblers in public so that people won't classify them as irresponsible people, meanwhile they are gamblers and are responsible in gambling and in their society. Until respected people in the society that gambles starts to identify themselves as gamblers the negative perception will still continue. I believe that societies are begining to accept gambling as games that people love to play instead of seeing it as where lazy people who wants to get rich overnight goes to waste the little money that they have. With online gambling you can choose to gamble in secret and it's one of the reasons for it's fast adoption.

In my country, getting called a gambler or a better is supposed to be an insult.
People call gamblers to those who is more of an addict and keeps losing money in gambling.
They see such people as bankrupts or rather losers who can't handle their wealth.

A person becomes a addict gambler when he loses control over himself. The initial goal of that person was not to become a gambler but he becomes a gambler due to the circumstances. In the context of some countries, gamblers are called those who gamble mostly to earn money. In my country, it is the case that many gamble but not everyone knows them as gamblers. Gamblers who gamble to earn money or are addicted to gambling are identified as gamblers by everyone.

In my country they identify gamblers as people who earn money illegaly. Gambling is frowned upon in my country.
People see gamblers as bad people and often curse them or laugh at their back when they end up being bankrupt.
The reason is because gambling has made many people poor and is discourage community wise.

Gambling is not an occupation so I see no reason why someone would introduce themselves or want to be identify as a gambler. To me it will be considered an insult to address someone as a gambler because of the way the society pictured gamblers. I have not seen in an occasion or any social events were someone was introduced as a gambler. It doesn't matter how much people has made from gambling they would never want to introduce as a gambler in public.

I love it when people refer to my investing as gambling. It doesn’t offend me as much as shows their ignorance. I’m always like… Investing might be gambling for you because you have no idea what you’re doing and randomly pick names based on feelings. I do research.

Same. I invest in certain things, like gaming items. For the average person, this is clearly beyond their comprehension, so they call it gambling in the strictly negative sense of the word. But for me, it's no more risky than for a merchant who buys vegetables cheap in the summer and sells them at a high price in the winter. There are risks everywhere, but I understand where the added value comes from, so for me, it's not gambling.

And that's one of the perceptions of many people in society; they think that a gambler is considered an insult because they think that all day long they are playing, spending money , being an addict. It's not well regarded by many, but it's good to have all this kind of diversity Even more so, I'm not one to give importance to what others think and say besides, they won't say it to our faces, they'll say it behind our backs.

Whether a gambler will hide his gambling or not depends a lot on the gambler's purpose for gambling. Usually, those who gamble regularly and consider it not only entertainment but also a way to earn money will definitely want to hide their gambling. I think that not only this type of gambler but also anyone who gambles is not interested in talking about gambling to others. One of the main reasons for this is that no one can think of gambling as a positive aspect in society. In most cases, the picture that is seen is that the gambler thinks of gambling as a means of earning money and not entertainment, and he becomes addicted to gambling, which has a major negative impact on his life. Such situations often occur that is why every gambler is evaluated in the same way and that's why no one is willing to identify themselves as a gambler.

Practically speaking I will agree to that point, whatever you do as long as you are not bothering anyone it's you that should be accountable with your action, though there are gambler who can't embrace that reality and they still don't want any harrassment especially  being tagged as addicted gambler, they will discreetly participate and will try to hide their indentity, but to those who are wanted to apply their freedom there's nothing to be bothered whatever other people will think about them.

[Royal Cap]

Honestly calling someone a gambler is not a very light word, even if you say it jokingly from the outside, it can be felt inside. So if someone gets angry, I won't directly say that they are angry because they are addicted, But it is also true that when a person knows deep down that they may be doing a little too much, it irritates them more when they hear such words. Because the words hit them directly. But sometimes it can also be just a matter of self esteem. No one wants to be called a negative identity. So in my opinion the real issue is whether they are honest with themselves. If they themselves understand that everything is under control, then they will not be so shaken by external words, And if they are losing control then they need to think a little before getting angry.

[Oshio-man]

Why should someone even be called a gambler when he has his own name he bears, there are things we should try to avoid doing because it doesn't sound well hearing that we are not ring disciplined even from how we talk, there's a need for moral discipline and we have to caution what we say and those we say call by name, except for pleasure purpose, when we are playing together with each other and for fun.

when we have many names to bear as Nick name or real name in the society, even though you are the most experience gambler in that society you don't need to showcase yourself as a gambler because you don't know who is who that will start monitoring you to find way to steal or harm you to collect the bitcoin and funds from you, there are some countries where gambling is bad and if you call someone a gambler, it may lead to the arrest of the person that call someone gambler for more investigation because government officers will not just ignore the issue than to know the reason why someone was called gambler,

And if people get upset, so what? Let them get upset I'm a casino player and honestly, I'm not ashamed at all. Those who get upset are just stuck in some kind of mental taboo. With so many things happening in the world, being a casino player isn't a bad thing at all Some people think they're butterflies, cows, horses, dogs that's something to think about because, to me , they're completely unbalanced But if it doesn't affect me, I'm not going to get upset about it.
