Go guys!
In many cultures and countries is gambling consider as a bad thing which only the poorest and silliest ones do. Many gamblers try to hide that they gamble from their friends and families and feel really shameful for that. Do you consider gambling as a bad thing? Do you feel shameful or proud for being a gambler? If it is shame what you feel what do you about it? How do you hide you're a gambler and who do you hide it from?
Let others know!
No, why? I have money, I have skills, I have luck, I am doing what I think that's right, I am living with my dream, so why do I have to feel shameful? It's knind of a job all over the world, some one can consider it as a bad thing but no one can deny that I a making money with it.

No you dont have luck. Period

That is the only think one cannot have anytime they want. They can access their skills and think about their dreams but no they cannot all upon their luck to come and save them. The big mistake people do in gambling is think of it as a mode of earning and not a mode of entertainment. Then again it is true that many gamblers are good at baiting the inexperienced players and can thus win a lot.
Somehow others don't consider it as a bad thing because they gain money from it that's why they don't feel any shame on it. But if you do realize it in time and do reflect it to yourself specially if you are starting to go down and lose all your money, you will start to feel a shame for yourself and started to think why'd you do this kind of thing. Of course if you are winning and only just playing for some entertainments, you won't feel any shame because you are just having fun.

Well if you're losing your own money, then live up to it you make your own decisions and you son't have to be ashamed. Unless your decisions are affecting other people's lives in a negative way, that's being irresponsible and that would be the time that i would feel ashamed but not while i'm spending my own money.
