I am shameful if I lose bigger amounts of money and somebody see that then I fcking hate that but when I gamble on internet only I can see that and I am not shameful.

I know that feeling mate, I just hate gambling and shameful that way. But literally I don't that seriously with the whole gambling concept, I hate it when worst case scenario happens to me. And that is just passing by for a while or a day or two. I feel embarrassed when someone saw my loses, I just really felt that way.

It is completely stupid and everyone knows that losing is part of the game therefore I dont really see why anyone would take that seriously. It is part of the risk that no one can avoid however the end result is different for everyone. You might ended up in profit or that you will lose more than what you expected

Yeah we know that losing is a part of the game but you did understand what this guy is afraid and shameful of? He is ashamed that someone will know that he lost, simple as that. We have different type of attitude and there are some that really wants to make their lost as hidden and they don't want others to witness it.
Yeah, it seems irrational to be ashamed of losing and hide it from everyone else but practically shout it off the rooftops when you win.  People who win the lottery are definitely not ashamed but were the odds in their favour? Of course not.

Gambling naturally results in loss eventually of course, but if you do lose you shouldn't dwell on it and hide yourself.  Gambling is perfectly safe if you're responsible and don't bet with everything you own.  The important thing is probability and this will act regardless of whether you win.
