I decided to come up with this topic because of an experience i had yesterday and i decided to bring it here for clarity sake and to see some people's view about it.
There is this notion the society placed on those who gamble or who play all sorts of games ,be it casino,bet9ja,R/S lotto, what, snooker and many others. They often see them as those who don't have what to ,or caliber of individuals who are jobless, a se of people who are not well trained by their parents and many more other names they call them.
i sincerely came up with this topic to find out why they have such views on individuals who voluntarily went to the betting shop to gamble either to win and make a difference or to lose and remain the same way. This idea actually started when i saw a pastor playing bet9ja after a brief evangelism and one elderly woman made a side comment ( That even man of GOD also play gamble) .
however, my question here now is : is gambling restricted to some certain kind of individuals or class? or is there any stratification when it comes to playing gambling ?please your opinions here here will actually quench my curiosity.
You really can't change how people think about you, that's one thing. So instead of going out there telling everyone that I'm a gambling man and risk making them think that I'm the dirtiest, nastiest, mustiest clown in the Barangay I just go for the more lowkey side of things and let people I dearly care about instead. Worked so well for me so far and I think that's what you should really go for, instead of crying about the people seeing you as an irresponsible maggot of the society when you tell them that you're gambling.
So yeah, since you can't change people's minds anyway, just do your own thing and be very responsible with your own gambling shenanigans, you can't change how other people think about you but you can definitely reinforce good habits and make it so that you're a better gambler than what you might think you are, and I think that's more important than seeking approval or gratification from other people.
There are people who are really that too sensitive on things specially into their reputation and their view into other people, this is why as much as possible which they would really be that hiding that kind of activity which we do know that there would really be tons of judgmental person who would really be having those kind of insights towards you specially that you are dealing with gambling which this had been known
to be a bad thing but its actually not something on this way. It is really just that people are way too judgmental on things.
