I would love to know your opinion over this question above as it's painful to see that what you do or what gives you joy at times people often term it as something bad or possibly as an irresponsible people.
If it was you, what would you do knowing too well that people who gambles are often seen as useless people and irresponsible people due to what some fellas has presented themselves into while gambling without at least showing any sign of responsibleness. Also, What do you think can be done to see gamblers as a responsible people in our society?
As long as I am maintain my limit in gambling I do not care what people may say. The most important thing in gambling is been a responsible gambler nothing else, although to be honest gambling is supposed to be don in a privacy way so that people wouldn't understand your way about.
Though lack of privacy has always been the cause of this, because once they see you often playing gambling in the physical casinos they would just conclude that you are not responsible person. However, I think the best way to overcome this is by staying in your comfort zone, so that nobody knows whether you are gambling or not.
