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.

Well, when you meet some one let's say in a bus or in an open space and you both got discussing, how do you tell if the person has little money, or that such person will easily get addicted to gambling?.

I personally do not totally think it's wrong to discuss with strangers about gambling, as long as the discussing is just casual, that is, not revealing ones personal details or go too deep into sharing personal experiences, but all this is if the stranger in question is also a gambler.

Like someone I meet last week, he is a gambler and I am a gambler, we got discussing and it was really interesting discussing wit someone of like minds in such a place.

I don't like to discuss gambling matters openly. The main reason for this is that gambling is not legal in my country. And you can be criminally prosecuted for gambling here. So I refrain myself from discussing these things in public places.

Also, I would never discuss gambling with a stranger . And even if we discuss, I will not tell him how much money I have gained or lost in gambling . Because this is my personal matter.

If I know the person I'm talking to is a gambler. Then maybe I'll talk to him openly. However, I will try to avoid personal matters. Because even if you have a lot of money, you would never tell a stranger about it . It can lead to various accidents. So I try to avoid these things for my own safety.
