Ok you are gambling just for fun, your friends and neighbors knows that and a friend invited you to his party to be one of the candidates as a councilor and campaign will start in 6 months, now, of course, you need to have a good reputation, will you stop gambling just to have a good image this coming campaign and how will you defend yourself if accused as a gambler.
i will choose between my Political dream or my favorite games.
but practically ?i think i would rather stop gambling than ruining my reputation and have a chance to serve my country,and besides i can go back and playing after i won the election so why not give it a way?
and also Gambling is losing while politics are winning and i rather choose the win than always risk but lose in gambling.
