We have to understand which people don't like gambling and which ones are the same as us. It's just that most people view gamblers as people who have bad habits. It's a shame they are like that without providing a good solution just to judge. I will not accompany people like that, but some people with mature thinking will find out why people are involved in gambling and will try to get them out of their addiction to gambling, that's the best.
If you share you are doing the gambling to the people who also do the gambling means,they will accept your involvement of the gambling.If you share the gambling involvement to the non gambler,they will not like the involvement of the gambling and ask your to quit in different way.First they will advice to quit the gambling,by saying the many loss story to you in the gambling.Then they will order you,if that person is the closest person to you.This is similar to the acceptance of drinking by the drinking people and oppose by the non drinkers of drinking habit.Only the people who involved in the drinking know the value of the drinking and people who involved in the gambling know the value of the gambling.
In this case, it will be a little difficult if you want to tell a story about a fun experience in gambling when you got a big win or got a big multiplier and we have to choose which friends can be considered as listeners of fun stories in gambling and sometimes tell stories to fellow gamblers. will be able to understand our feelings but there are also fellow gamblers sharing stories but in the long run it is very bad when they tell stories about getting big wins, their friends borrow money and continue like that without returning the money.
It would be better to tell about experiences but remain anonymous, as in this forum we dont know each other but we can tell each other about gambling and I always think that telling stories about gambling to people we know will have a bad impact in the long run.

I somewhat agree with you. We should refrain ourselves from discussing gambling with acquaintances or friends. It has a few downsides. First you tell someone about your gambling experience who doesn't have enough money. If you tell him about the big profits from gambling,  he may become very interested in gambling, and may gamble even if he borrows money. And if he is defeated, the ill effects will be felt on him and his family.
Second  I know many people who got addicted to gambling very quickly and lost their money.
I won't say gambling is bad. But getting addicted to it is very bad. This is why we should be careful. And not talking about gambling to people who have little money, or who are likely to become addicted to gambling.
