do you have more gambling friends with whom you can share your earnings or strategy, or do you prefer to be on your own, not telling anyone that you gamble?

I prefer not to share my gambling activity to my friends as I don't want to influence them to play. Because they're not into gambling, I gamble online alone during free time. I'm more open regarding my gambling session to my partner, he's the one I can talk to about it whether about losses or winnings.

You have a good mindset, being considerate enough to your friends by not showing them your gambling activities. That's great, my friend. I also sometimes avoid gambling when a friend approaches me, even though he's not a gambler. The reason is almost the same as yours: I'm afraid they'll be influenced or tempted to try gambling like I do.

Honestly, I act this way with everyone, including my partner. I'm afraid my partner's perspective on me will be damaged by knowing I'm a gambler. As we know, it's not uncommon for married couples to end up divorcing due to financial reasons caused by one of their partners being a gambler.
