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.
of course if the gambling that we do is very excessive it can affect your personal reputation because most of the time we have can only be spent on gambling and the community can assess the activities we do as negative activities that are not good to be used as an example that should be emulated
