Or would you allow your decision to quit gambling to be affected by any popular statement among your fellow gamblers or it's a no no thing for you?

My decision is my decision.

I will not allow someone to get on touch with my decision because I am already a grown up and I know what's best for me. Either someone says that gambling is terribly bad and I may lose a lot of money.

I knew that from the very start but I am not that type of gambler that will allow it to happen.

Standing on your own decision as a gambler can be that easy to do when you're what I would describe as a one man squad gambler. A kind of gambler that doesn't have some group of fellow gambling friends but does his thing alone.
But it would be difficult to have your decision untouched when you are that type of gambler that has an exclusive clique of gamblers and this clique can influence your decision. You may try to hold on but there's a 50/50 chance of you or any gambler that finds himself with cliques to bow to pressure at some point. It is like a peer group influence.
