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 our town once you're a gambler they thought that you're a sinner because gambling is considered as a sin therefore it will affect your reputation so as long you live keep away gambling. Gambling is not our way of earning profit this will only lead you to a messy life.
Well thats respectable comment because you seems to respect your way of living
But this doesnt applied to everyone here as we have different religion,different views in life and different communities that lives on
But I know in the back of our mind gambling wasnt that sinful but the people who mistreat how to deal with gambling in life
After with you out state and our believes matters how we look gambling and how we give value to a gambler. In my place gamblers are not well known because it said to be haram. People think its time wasting maybe they lost money so they have such idea about gambling. But as much as i can see we take risk of money and work fairly in gambling I dont know why people talk against it sometimes.
