In today's society, people who are addicted to gambling are very little trusted and liked by people. And when people see a successful gambler, society thinks that he is addicted to winning and has lost his physical and mental balance inside. But actually this is not the right thinking at all because a successful gambler is never an addict because he spends both money and time to win and also puts in a lot of effort. Both gamblers only try hard to succeed and invest their money for that purpose, but here they are not so much addicts. If they had become so addicted, they would never have gone ahead and invested such money and efforts, and I think a gambler always aims to succeed by putting his own efforts into action.

I think it is quite the opposite of what you have described. Now I agree that people are looked at in a bad way when they gamble a lot, but for as long as they are successful, nobody can really make a point against them. This is not what I deem correct, but it is how it is. If the poker player wins all the time because he has a few incredibly lucky years, then he is a mastermind. When you are successful in something, may it be because of luck or skill, it is easy to sell a story. But the tough times start when someone is out of luck for a while because there are no more headlines or positive talk.

Lol
If it’s in my country, the thought of writing a book with possible title as “ HOW TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN GAMBLING “ lol it’s funny because my people always see opportunities in almost everything but nevertheless this is another opportunity to let everyone know that money answers all things and when ever someone makes a remarkable win I think that person will automatically be taken out of the list of an addict and I think not having money is one way or the other attractive to wrong names so I wouldn’t have to blame any one’s opinion.

I guess this doesn't only apply to people who are gambling, but to other things as well. If someone is financially successful, less questions are asked or less rejection will happen, but if someone is going broke playing in the casino all day long, not many people will support that person or have good words about him. It is a very material world where those with a lot of money are often perceived as being better than those with less money. But I learnt that the opposite is true very often and that money is not an indicator of a person being generally successful, because what does it even mean?
