Though this will varies with opinions from different individuals. First, I will not quit my gambling career because this has nothing to do with campaign. Gambling has many advantage and when followed carefully a gambler remains best to his games. Gamblers are intelligent individuals around the world so, many will like to involve into the campaign because of their reputation but as for me, I will get involve and will also defend myself as a gambler and not as a thief in the public. Am not afraid of be call a gambler because I am making some good stuff from the market.
