Everyone stating that gambling will affect someone's image in the society so this is actually happened with you?
For me it happened once why are you gambling its a sin in our life I replied its my wish I can do what ever I wanted.
In my country gambling doesn't truly affect the reputation of someone. It is mostly a way of entertainment here so it doesn't bother someone's reputation.
If you are a gambler you are a normal people as most of the people gamble, but if you overdo it then of course your reputation is going to be affected.
